Abstract

This study aims to examine the impacts of organization’s cybersecurity training program on employees with qualitative data, collected from 33 college students who were attending Norfolk State University while also working either on a part-time or full-time basis participated. Open-ended questions were asked to elicit participants’ perspectives on cybersecurity training and cybersecurity protocols in organizations. Using qualitative data analysis software Nvivo 12, the authors organized and analyzed the collected data with open coding, and selective coding to recognize the major influencing impacts from cybersecurity training on employees’ routine work and behavior. Inductive and grounded theory analysis further elaborates connections between employee’s cybersecurity training and efficiency of organizations. Our findings suggest that on-the-job cybersecurity training provided by the employer is an effective investment for modern organizations to build on the organizational human capital and consequently to improve the efficiency of the organization. Findings from this study corroborates with the tenet of human capital theory that on-the-job educational program or training is economical and effective to manage the human capital challenge for modern organizations.

组织网络安全培训作为人力资本投资:一个定性的扎根理论分析

本研究旨在研究组织的网络安全培训计划对员工的影响，并收集了33名大学生的定性数据，这些大学生在诺福克州立大学就读，同时也在兼职或全职工作。开放式问题引出参与者对组织中的网络安全培训和网络安全协议的看法。利用定性数据分析软件Nvivo 12对收集到的数据进行整理和分析，采用开放式编码和选择性编码两种方法，识别网络安全培训对员工日常工作和行为的主要影响。归纳和扎根理论分析进一步阐述了员工网络安全培训与组织效率之间的联系。我们的研究结果表明，雇主提供在职网络安全培训是现代组织建立组织人力资本，从而提高组织效率的有效投资。本研究的结果证实了人力资本理论的原则，即在职教育计划或培训对于现代组织管理人力资本挑战是经济有效的。
