Abstract

Based on previous work on individuals´ attitudes and beliefs about their information systems environment, a theoretical model of the determinants of security concern is presented. An approach to testing the main assertions of the model, using a cross-study comparison of security perceptions from two different survey instruments is described. The first study, conducted in 1985-6, used a sample base of 1063 randomly selected Data Processing Management Association members. The second study surveyed 357 end-users in 10 organizations in the 1986-7 time frame. The data elicited by these research questions will be analyzed in the near future, but the analytical procedures are delineated in the article
