• •Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence cybersecurity compliance behavior (BEH).•Dominant decision styles (intrinsic) influence individual BEH.•Dominant orientation (intrinsic) indirectly influences individual BEH.•Security orientation (intrinsic) influences individual BEH.•Security awareness (extrinsic) influences individual BEH. Recent information and cybersecurity research have focused on improving individuals’ security compliance behavior. However, improved security performance remains a challenge since individuals often fail to comply with security best practices. In this study, we investigate a new individual cybersecurity compliance behavior model proposed by Donalds and Osei-Bryson (2017). Specifically, we investigate the influence of individual decision styles on their cybersecurity compliance behavior and other antecedents of such behavior. To empirically validate the hypotheses in the Donalds & Osei-Bryson model, we used data collected from 248 individuals and then use multiple regression to examine the assertions of the model. Our findings confirm that individual’s decision styles, specifically, dominant orientation and dominant decision style, influence their individual cybersecurity compliance behavior and other antecedents of such behavior. Our research offers new dimensions for investigating individual cybersecurity compliance behavior and new insights into factors that may influence individual’s cybersecurity compliance behavior.
