What increases employees’ security compliance intentions?

This research project investigates the antecedents of organizational commitment related to information privacy policy compliance by individuals. The results of this survey of 257 bank employees indicate that certain variables of management within organizations (referred to as POS and LMX) contribute to a social exchange process. This process is distinct from the formal compliance training procedures and is shown to influence employee perceptions of social exchange to engage in compliance activities, which contributes to behavioral intention to comply with information privacy policies. Implications for managers and researchers are discussed.
