| Περίληψη: | Several studies explore information security awareness focusing on individual and/
or organisational aspects. This paper argues that security awareness processes are
associated with interrelated changes that occur at the organisational, the
technological and the individual level. We introduce an integrated analytical
framework that has been developed through action research in a public sector
organisation, comprising actor-network theory (ANT), structuration theory and
contextualism. We develop and use this framework to analyse and manage
changes introduced by the implementation of a security awareness programme
in the research setting. The paper illustrates the limitations of each theory (ANT,
structuration theory and contextualism) to study multi-level changes when used
individually, demonstrates the synergies of the three theories, and proposes how
they can be used to study and manage awareness-related changes at the
individual, organisational and technological level. |
