| Abstract | ||
| A key component of a company’s integrity, both financially and in terms of reputation, is information security. When given the right direction, employees can play a significant role in strengthening information security, despite the fact that they are frequently seen as the weakest link in the chain. Businesses are doing this by implementing information security measures, both in terms of policies and financial stability. Employees are expected to adhere to the organizational and personal goals that executives set through information security rules. Research on employee compliance with information security policies (ISPs) has been done in a number of studies in the literature, but few of these studies have focused on identifying the factors that encourage employees to follow their company’s information security policies. This paper is to draw attention to the elements that affect workers’ perceptions of adherence to the organization’s ISPs. Employees of businesses with ISPs in place were given the questionnaire. A total of 985 companies and organizations from multiple divisions received the questionnaire in Egypt. 303 workers from various industries took part in the poll. The dataset was analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS version 3.3.9. The survey’s findings demonstrated that a large number of workers lacked a thorough understanding of the rules outlined in their company’s ISPs, demonstrating the necessity of educating and training staff members on security procedures. | ||
