Security compliance - new insight from goal orientations and self-regulation theory

This paper explores how self-set security goal orientations and self-regulation theory can provide potential venues to motivate end-user sustained IS security compliance. Organisations have found that it is essential to motivate end-users to comply with information security measures and policies on a regular basis. The research aims to obtain an understanding of the relationship between individual IS security goal orientations, self-regulation process and IS security compliance. The outcome of the research will facilitate the establishment of a security training program and communication strategy to increase self-regulated IS security compliance from end-users.
