Hi,
The Australasian Journal of Information Systems has just published its latest article.
Pham, H., Pham, D., Brennan, L., & Richardson, J. (2017). Information Security and People: A Conundrum for Compliance. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.3127/ajis.v21i0.1321
Abstract This evaluation of end-users and IT experts/managers' attitudes towards performing IT security tasks indicates important differences between their perspectives on what is and is not necessary to establish a secure corporate IT environment. Through a series of case studies, this research illustrates that making it easier for end-users to comply does not necessarily equate to enhanced implementation of security measures. End-users want to be autonomous, competent, self-motivated and active participants in the development of secure environments. However, managers and experts want to limit autonomy to ensure that procedures are followed closely, rather than permitting flexibility. This results in the creation of environments that are intrinsically de-motivating rather than motivating end-users to become self-determined and self-regulating co-creators of a secure IT environment. The paper also discusses alternative approaches to developing a human system that works for end-users and experts.
Keywords: security compliance; security management; end user security behaviour

Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of epistemological methods are welcomed.
All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well qualified reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely advice to authors and editor.
AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS discipline based in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of research paper need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment criteria that may be applied:
