摘要
With recent incidents of temporary employees such as seasonal employees, contractors, and subcontractors engaging in information security violations, once again the focus lies on motivating the people within the "organization's wall" to comply with information security. This research paper studies the impact of employment status on organizational commitment and perceived organizational support of employees and how those will affect behavioral intention to comply with Information Security Policies (ISP). Employment status, specifically permanent versus temporary status, can result in different levels of organizational commitment and perceived organizational support. The result of the study supports the notion that the effect of organizational commitment and perceived organizational support on behavioral intention to use ISP will be stronger among permanent employees. The research also found that perceived response cost of performing a behavior would negatively impact intention to comply with ISP. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
