Organizations are trying to induce employees to comply with information security policy (ISP) as organizational damage of information breach incidents gets serious. Many previous approaches to ISP compliance have focused on security technologies. However, researchers in this area agree that technology approach is not sufficient so that other approaches such as behavioral and social are required. This study suggests the integrated research model including ISP compliance antecedents and psychological contract fulfillment. The study investigates the mediating effect of psychological contract fulfillment between perceived costs and ISP compliance intention comparing supervisor and supervisee groups. The results show that psychological contract fulfillment can mitigate the negative effect of costs on ISP compliance intention in supervisor group. Employees also anticipate complying with ISP when they recognize the benefits of ISP compliance. This study could shed more lights on the ISP compliance area by integrating and examining ISP compliance research model with psychological contract as a social factor. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd.
