Self-efficacy is the most frequently examined attribute in the adoption of Information Systems (IS) security innovations. Yet, the role of self-efficacy in the adoption of IS security innovations is ambiguous. The empirical studies that examined the factor have produced mixed and inconsistent results. Through a meta-analysis of 59 extant research, the study aggregated findings of the past research that examined the effect of self-efficacy and the adoption of IS security innovations. The results of this meta-analysis confirmed the significance of self-efficacy for the adoption of IS security innovations. The findings suggest that individuals with stronger self-confidence for tackling IS security threats are more likely to adopt IS security innovation. Through a meta-analysis moderator effect examination, the study further demonstrates that some research conditions may influence the outcome of the relationship between self-efficacy and the adoption of IS security innovations. The conclusion is that those who are in charge of IS security management in organizations should target increasing employee’s self-efficacy.

自我效能是信息系统（IS）安全创新采用中最经常检查的属性。然而，自我效能在采用IS安全创新中的作用尚不明确。检验该因素的实证研究产生了混杂且不一致的结果。通过对59项现有研究的荟萃分析，该研究汇总了过去研究的结果，这些研究检查了自我效能的影响以及IS安全创新的采用。荟萃分析的结果证实了自我效能对于采用IS安全创新的重要性。研究结果表明，对解决IS安全威胁具有更强自信的个人更可能采用IS安全创新。通过荟萃分析主持人效果检查，该研究进一步证明，某些研究条件可能会影响自我效能与采用IS安全创新之间关系的结果。结论是，组织中负责IS安全管理的人员应该以提高员工的自我效能为目标。
