Abstract

Extra-role security behavior has been recognized as a salient element of information security. Drawing upon the research on proactivity in the management literature, we identify ‘felt responsibility for constructive change’ (FRCC) as an important proactive motivational state that drives the behavior. We then follow proactive motivation theory and seek the contextual element and individual difference that precede FRCC. Based on buy-in theory, we propose that user participation in the development of information security-related activities and artifacts induces FRCC. To balance context specificity with generality, we model the individual difference of proactive personality as a moderator of this relation. Our model expands the scope of studying behavioral security by addressing users’ proactive involvement in protecting organizations’ information assets, as opposed to only examining reactive and passive user involvement. Further, the model extends the literature by addressing how promoting positive pre-kinetic events serves organizational information security.
