CALL FOR PAPERS for the Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research

2021 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) Montréal, Canada August 09-13, 2021 https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/

Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research, under the Information Security and Privacy track of the 2021 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 09-13 August, 2021 in Montréal, Canada.

Track: Information Security and Privacy (SIGSEC)

Minitrack: Moving Beyond Traditional Constructs in Information Security Research

DESCRIPTION

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.
