ABSTRACT

In this study, we use the attentional phase of social learning theory to link workplace security-related experiences and observations to employees’ security awareness. The responses of 398 organizational employees serve to test our research model using structural equational modeling with AMOS 22.0. The results show security awareness arises from both explicit and subjective security experiences in the workplace. Our respondents indicate knowledge of a physical system has little, if any, effect on security awareness. However, security education, policy, visibility and managerial security participation are important for producing security awareness. Furthermore, managerial participation strengthens the links between organizational security efforts and security awareness. We discuss the implications of our study for future security compliance research and practice.

摘要

在这项研究中，我们使用社会学习理论的注意阶段将工作场所安全相关的经验和观察与员工的安全意识联系起来。398 名组织员工的回答有助于使用 AMOS 22.0 的结构方程建模来测试我们的研究模型。结果表明，安全意识来自工作场所的显性和主观安全体验。我们的受访者表示，物理系统的知识对安全意识几乎没有影响。然而，安全教育、政策、可见性和管理安全参与对于产生安全意识很重要。此外，管理参与加强了组织安全工作和安全意识之间的联系。
