Abstract

Nowadays the Internet has become one of the fundamental aspects of the organization. It is the same as electricity. Without it, the companies or organization cannot operate well or cannot function at all because of the threat. Same goes to the information system without the security the organization are exposed to the threat. Thus, it will expose the company information to their competitors. The threat not only come from the external user but also internal user especially from the end user. Information system security (ISS) is important for both private and government organization to protect the data to keep it confidential, available and assuring its availability. However, ISS cannot depend heavily on technology. Even more, attention should be given to the behavioural views of users with regard to the security of information. In this study, the researchers have proposed a framework regarding the factors influencing employees’ behaviour towards ISS in an organization. The factors influencing employee behaviour towards ISS in this study are from the individual factor (attitude, self-efficacy, and cues to action) and organization factor (organizational culture, information security policy, training and awareness). This research is using explanatory study which can help to explain the relationship between variables. Besides that, this research is quantitative research where the sources of information are gathered from the questionnaire towards 200 respondent. Primary and secondary data are chosen as a data collection method. The finding shows, the most significant factors influencing employee behaviour towards ISS in the organization is the attitude. Other than that, this research also provides the suggestions of strategy that can apply in the organization to improve their ISS regarding employee’s behaviour.
