Abstract
Insider abuse has always been a significant threat to information security management in organizations. In order to address this issue, this research proposes whistleblowing as another complementary measure to other existent approaches to strengthen the internal information security management. In particular, we focus on an investigation of employee intention to whistle-blow information security policy (ISP) violation. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and rational choice theory, we develop a theoretical model to understand the factors at both organizational and individual levels that influence whistleblowing attitude and whistleblowing intention. Through a survey-based empirical test, we discover that both altruistic and egoistic concerns are involved in the development of whistleblowing attitudes. The results not only extend our understanding of whistleblowing motivation but also offer managers directions to promote disclosure of internal security breach.
