The security of organizations’ information resources is often threatened by employee non-compliance to security policy or negligence. Though technical and procedural controls for curtailing security violations and motivating secure behaviors have been explored in the literature, security violations persist. Given the significant influence individuals wield on the welfare of organizations’ security and the dynamic nature of security threats, we explore voluntary security behaviors through the mechanism of stewardship. Drawing from the stewardship and information security literature, we develop and test a stewardship model of voluntary security behaviors using a sample of 409 working individuals. The results show that organizational support and identification influence stewardship, which in turn affects voluntary security behaviors. Our findings have several theoretical and practical implications for increasing stewardship and voluntary security behaviors in the organization.

组织信息资源的安全经常受到员工不遵守安全政策或疏忽的威胁。尽管文献中已经探索了用于减少安全违规和激励安全行为的技术和程序控制，但安全违规仍然存在。鉴于个人对组织安全福利的重大影响和安全威胁的动态性质，我们通过管理机制探索自愿安全行为。借鉴管理和信息安全文献，我们使用 409 名工作人员的样本开发并测试了自愿安全行为的管理模型。结果表明，组织支持和认同会影响管理，进而影响自愿安全行为。
