Purpose

This study argues that the effect of perceived organizational culture on the formation of security-related subjective norms and the level of compliance pressure will vary based on how the employees perceive their organization's cultural values. These perceptions reflect on the assumptions and principles that organizations use to guide their security-related behaviors. To make these arguments, we adopt the competing values model (CVM), which is a model used to understand the range of organizational values and resulting cultural archetypes.

Design/methodology/approach

This study conducted a survey of working professionals in the banking and higher education industries and used partial least squares (PLS)-structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the data. In a series of post hoc analyses, we ran a set of multi-group analyses to compare the perceived organizational cultural effects between the working professionals in both industries.

Findings

Our study reveals that perceived organizational cultures in favor of stability and control promoted more positive security-related behaviors. However, the different effects were more pronounced when comparing the effects between the working professionals in both industries.

Originality/value

This study is one of the few that examines which cultural archetypes are more effective at fostering positive security behaviors. These findings suggest that we should be cautious about generalizing the effects of organizational culture on security-related actions across different contexts and industries.

安全文化的“正确”秘诀：竞争价值模型视角

目的

本研究认为，感知的组织文化对安全相关主观规范的形成和合规压力水平的影响将根据员工对其组织文化价值观的看法而有所不同。这些看法反映了组织用来指导其安全相关行为的假设和原则。为了提出这些论点，我们采用了竞争价值模型 (CVM)，这是一种用于理解组织价值范围和由此产生的文化原型的模型。

设计/方法/方法

本研究对银行业和高等教育行业的在职专业人士进行了调查，并使用偏最小二乘 (PLS)-结构方程模型 (SEM) 来分析数据。在一系列事后分析中，我们进行了一组多组分析，以比较两个行业工作专业人员之间感知到的组织文化影响。

发现

我们的研究表明，有利于稳定和控制的组织文化促进了更积极的安全相关行为。然而，当比较两个行业的工作专业人员之间的影响时，不同的影响更为明显。

原创性/价值

这项研究是为数不多的研究哪些文化原型在培养积极的安全行为方面更有效的研究之一。这些发现表明，我们应该谨慎地概括组织文化对不同环境和行业中与安全相关的行为的影响。
