資安事件的發生不僅會對企業造成實質的損失更會對商譽造成嚴重的傷害。為了降低資安事件的發生，制定有效的資安政策並加以執行是根本做法。然而，在推動資安政策的過程會對員工造成壓力。這些壓力是否會對員工在遵守資安政策上產生影響是本論文的研究重點。

本研究根據保護動機理論，認為資訊安全壓力會透過保護動機理論中的威脅評估以及應對評估這兩個認知過程進而影響資安政策的遵守。

本研究收集 324 位使用者意見，採實證研究，以十二個研究假設來驗證研究模型，並利用 PLS 統計方法進行檢驗。研究結果發現，在威脅評估與應對評估之 中除了事件發生可能性外，對於資安政策遵從皆有顯著影響。資安任務型與工作型壓力對於資安角色型壓力的形成有顯著的影響。資安角色型壓力對於保護動機理 論中的威脅評估與應對評估具有顯著的影響。資安任務型壓力對應對評估中的反 應功效呈現顯著正相關，其結果與我們所預期的相反。

The occurrence of security incidents will not only cause substantial loss to the enterprise but also serious damage to goodwill. In order to reduce the occurrence of security incidents, it is a fundamental practice to formulate effective security policies and implement them. However, the process of promoting the security policy will put stress on employees. The focus of this paper is whether these pressures will affect staff''s compliance with the security policies.

Based on the protection motivation theory, this study considers that information security stress will affect the compliance of security policies through the two cognitive processes of threat appraisal and coping appraisal of protection motivation theory.

In this study, opinions of 324 users were collected and the empirical study was conducted. Twelve research hypotheses were used to validate the study model. The results showed that the threat appraisal and coping appraisal affect security compliance significantly except for vulnerability. Security task and job stress have a significant impact on the formation of security role stress. Security role stress has a significant impact on threat and coping appraisals in the protection motivation theory. Security task stress was significantly positively correlated with response efficacy in coping appraisal, and this result were contrary to our expectation.
