Constructs in
Information Security Research
2020 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Salt Lake City, 12-16 Aug, 2020

Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the mini-track:
Moving
Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research,
under the
Information Security and Privacy track of the 2020 AMCIS
conference, which
will take place on 12-16 August, 2020 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Track: Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)
Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information
Security
Research
Employees are organizations' core assets that interact with
Information
Systems (IS) in order to perform their tasks; however numerous
studies have
reported that employees noncompliance of IS security policies is
the main
cause of security breaches within organizations. Over the last
decade, the
IS research community has contributed substantial research in
order to
understand the causes underlying IS security noncompliance. Most
of this
research draws upon the General Deterrence Theory and Theory of
Planned
Behavior theory to explain the behavior that motivates IS security
compliance. Even though the existing research has significantly
contributed
to the understanding of the phenomenon of IS security
noncompliance, several
studies have reported non-convergent findings. The purpose of this
mini-track is to provide a forum to present and discuss
theoretical models,
methodologies, and empirical cases concerning employees' behaviors
and
noncompliance with IS security policies.
This mini-track aims to investigate new theories and constructs
that have
not been explored in IS security compliance literature. Therefore,
we invite
innovative papers that explore new constructs and theories that
address a
variety of issues pertaining employees' behaviors towards IS
security in
organizations. The goal is to advance our understanding of the IS
security
noncompliance phenomenon. Cross-cultural studies or comparative
studies
highlighting differences and similarities regarding employees'
behaviors
with IS security in emerging and developing countries are also
welcome.
Papers must be submitted through the conference website:
