Despite the adoption of technical and managerial approaches, organizations still face issues motivating employee security compliance. In this paper, we argue organizations need strong leadership to encourage employees. Using the expectancy theory, we created a theoretical model to help understand the influence of leadership behaviors on non-technical controls IS security controls. Our research in progress is expected to contribute a model for future research in the field of IS security, as well as promote organizations to integrate leadership concepts into their IS security programs.
