Abstract:
Stress plays a critical role in information security policy (ISP) compliance behavior. Since there are multiple sources of stress, the current literature does not provide a consistent view of the association between stress and ISP compliance behavior. Understanding the significance of the association between stress and ISP compliance behavior is valuable for managers, especially in managing the tradeoff between stress and ISP compliance behavior among individuals. We attempted a meta-analysis to provide a generalized interpretation of the association between stress and ISP non-compliance behavior. The results of this meta-analysis confirmed a weak positive correlation between stress and ISP non-compliance behavior. Demographic characteristics like age, country, and the category of the respondents (employee vs non-employee) are significant predictors of the association between stress and ISP non-compliance behavior.

Presented a paper titled “IT Investments for Sustainable Development: Identification of Mediating Factors Using Institutional Theory” in the International Conference on Digital Economy (ICDE-2021) at Indian Institute of Management Raipur on December 04 2021.
Abstract:
Scholars have frequently demonstrated the significant role of investment in IT infrastructure in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, they are silent on the mechanism. This paper explores it by applying North's institutional theory concepts, i.e., cognitive, normative, and regulative. We use the artificial neural network to identify the unknown factors and regression analysis to map the unknown factors to the known ones to ascertain the mediating factors. To do so, we use data from 155 countries. We found three significant mediators between IT investments and health, one of the critical goals of 17 identified SDGs by the United Nations. The identified factors are government effectiveness, literacy rate, and ease of doing business.
