Abstract
It is generally conceived that the security of an organization’s information resources
largely depends on compliance with the organization’s information security policies.
Thus, this research investigates the employees’ perception of the importance of
information security policy compliance, the factors that motivate them to comply with
the policies, and the effects of the policy breaches on the organization’s revenue. A
descriptive quantitative method was used to collect and analyze data from four different
companies in the Ashanti region of Ghana, West Africa. The findings showed that
information security policy compliance is very significant to ensuring the integrity,
confidentiality, and availability of the information resources of an organization. Also,
both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations influence employees to comply with security
policies. The direct effects of security breaches on revenue were not ascertained
however, the employees believed that it has effects on the capital growth of
organizations. The study has placed much emphasis on the need for organizations to
enforce compliance with information security policies.
