Abstract

As an important construct in IS area, self-efficacy of individuals to engage in information security behaviors has been previously studied. We replicated one such study, which tested the influence of self-efficacy in information security (SEIS) on end user’s information security behavior. In our work, four out of six hypotheses were supported. By using different samples, our finding supported the original model and provided more research opportunities to apply this construct and model to different contexts and situations.
