ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of internal motivators (psychological ownership, perceived control, and self-efficacy) on employees' intention to protect organizational data. The threat of cybersecurity breaches is increasing, as are the realization of cybersecurity breaches and the subsequent loss of data. While information security policies increase employees' intentions to protect organizational data, they do not guarantee employee compliance. Results indicate that self-efficacy is associated with perceived control, which, in turn, is associated with perceived psychological ownership of organizational data. Furthermore, self-efficacy and psychological ownership are both associated with an increase in intention to protect organizational data.

Postpartum depression (PPD) occurs in 13% of new mothers internationally, but many do not receive treatment. In the Western world, hospital-based perinatal nurses have extended contact with new mothers and are in a unique position to teach them to recognize symptoms of and seek treatment for PPD. In this replication study framed by self-efficacy theory, teaching new mothers about PPD was predicted by a nurse’s self-efficacy related to PPD teaching, expectations for teaching from supervisor, PPD continuing education, teaching experience on other topics, and experience with observing other nurses teaching patients about PPD. The results of the study demonstrate the importance of the climate created by the nursing supervisor in which teaching about PPD is expected and facilitators of effective patient teaching are available.
