The role of self-efficacy on the adoption of information systems security innovations: a meta-analysis assessment
2021
Self-efficacy is the most frequently examined attribute in the adoption of Information Systems (IS) security innovations. Yet, the role of self-efficacy in the adoption of IS security innovations is ambiguous. The empirical studies that examined the factor have produced mixed and inconsistent results. Through a meta-analysis of 59 extant research, the study aggregated findings of the past research that examined the effect of self-efficacy and the adoption of IS security innovations. The results of this meta-analysis confirmed the significance of self-efficacy for the adoption of IS security innovations. The findings suggest that individuals with stronger self-confidence for tackling IS security threats are more likely to adopt IS security innovation. Through a meta-analysis moderator effect examination, the study further demonstrates that some research conditions may influence the outcome of the relationship between self-efficacy and the adoption of IS security innovations. The conclusion is that those who are in charge of IS security management in organizations should target increasing employee’s self-efficacy.
