Factors affecting information security compliance intention of military officer

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the information security compliance intention of Korean military officers. For this purpose, a research model was constructed focusing on information security compliance attitude and perceived control, which are the main variables of the theory of planned behavior. In addition, security sensitivity, organization trust, information security work impediment, and sanction, were selected as independent variables. The research model was analyzed through a survey targeting Korean army officers, and the results are as follows. First, security sensitivity, organization trust, and sanctions had a significant effect on information security compliance attitude. However, the effect of information security work impediment had not been identified. Second, it was analyzed that security sensitivity and organization trust had a positive effect on perceived information security compliance control, but the effect of information security work impediment and sanction had not been verified. Third, it was confirmed that the information security compliance attitude and perceived control affect the information security compliance intention, which reconfirmed the results of previous studies. This study is meaningful in that it can improve the information security level of the military organization by suggesting a way to manage these factors.
