Abstract
This paper is a methodological replication of (Dhillon et al., 2020), which examined the mediating role of psychological empowerment between structural empowerment and intention to comply with information security policy. They suggested that empowerment work structures, which include information security education, training, and awareness (SETA), access to information security strategic goals, and participation in information security decision-making, all increase employees’ feelings of being psychologically empowered, which consequently leads to positive intentions to comply with information security policy. They found that psychological empowerment plays a mediating role between structural empowerment (SETA, access, participation) and ISP compliance intentions. Our data support the original study findings, except we dropped the access construct because of discriminant validity issues.
