Abstract: One of the main concerns for organizations in today's connected world is to find out how employees follow the information security policy (ISP), as the internal employee has been identified as the weakest link in all breaches of the security policies. Several studies have examined ISP compliance from a dissuasive perspective; however, the results were mixed. This empirical study analyses the impact of organisational security factors and individual non-compliance on users’ intentions toward information security policies. A research model and hypotheses have been developed in this quantitative study. Data from 352 participants was collected through a questionnaire, which then validated the measurement model. The findings revealed that while security system anxiety and non-compliant peer behaviours negatively impact users’ compliance intentions, work impediments positively influence these intentions. Security visibility negatively influences users’ non-compliance, and security education systems positively impact work impediments. This research will help information security managers address the problem of information security compliance because it provides them with an understanding of one of the many factors underlying employee compliance behaviors.
