D Arcy studies on an empirical research of the impression of 4 defense countermeasures (security guidelines, safeguard knowledge application, desktop tracking, preventive safety software program) on IS misuse. utilizing the framework of common deterrence idea, he develops and exams a conceptual version utilizing survey responses from 507 pros. He unearths help for the effectiveness of safeguard regulations, safety expertise courses, and laptop tracking in deterring IS misuse. Preventive protection software program seems to be in basic terms reasonably potent. the implications additionally recommend that the deterrent effectiveness of safety countermeasures differ in keeping with computing device self-efficacy and the quantity of time spent telecommuting. D Arcy s findings support clarify the relationships among defense countermeasures and IS misuse, whereas reaffirming the applicability of common deterrence thought to the IS defense area.

In addition, moral judgment, ego strength, locus of control, and organizational ethical climate were included as variables that affect ethical behavioral intention. Only personal normative beliefs, organizational ethical climate, and organization-scenario (an indicator variable controlling for scenario and company) were found to be significant. These results do not support the attitude-intention relationship predicted by the TRA and suggest that the organizational environment may be a more powerful predictor of ethical behavior intention.
In other words, are security countermeasures more/less effective in deterring IS misuse for certain people depending on these individual differences? Two overall research questions are addressed: • • Do security countermeasures increase the perceived threat of punishment associated with IS misuse and therefore decrease IS misuse intentions? Do individual differences moderate the impact of security countermeasures on punishment perceptions and therefore impact IS misuse intentions? To answer these questions, a theoretical model is developed and tested.
Existing research from the fields of social psychology and criminology supports the differential deterrence hypothesis as variables such as age, gender, risk propensity, expertise, socioeconomic status, race, geographic mobility, and labor force status have all been shown to influence perceptions of sanctions and/or projected deviant and criminal behavior (Grasmick, Jacobs, and McCollom 1983; Hollinger and Clark 1983; Richards and Tittle 1981; Tittle 1980; Weaver and Carroll 1985). There is also support for the differential deterrence hypothesis within the IS literature.
