Vilken roll spelar toppledningen i BYOD policyefterlevnad? (Swedish)
Abstract [sv]

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) fortsätter öka i popularitet bland många organisationer. Problem, risker, och hot kopplade till denna enhetsstrategi har blivit noggrant studerat och diskuterat i många olika artiklar. Dock, rollen som toppchefer spelar i BYOD policyefterlevnad, är en aspekt som har blivit försummad och behöver ytterligare forskning. Toppchefers medverkan, stöd, och attityd mot informationssäkerhetsarbete påverkar anställdas intentioner att följa säkerhetspolicys. Därav, kasta ljus på effekten chefer och företagskultur kan ha, bedöms förmånligt för både organisationer såväl som deras ledare. En systematisk litteraturrecension utfördes med syftet att besvara vilken roll toppchefer spelar i BYOD policyefterlevnad. Specifika söktermer användes i fyra olika databaser för att hitta artiklar, som sedan utsattes för en process för att bedöma deras kvalitet baserat på förbestämda urvalskriterier. Denna process ledde till 14 artiklar som bedömdes vara bidragande till denna uppsats. Koncept som diskuterades och inträffade i flera av de valda artiklarna blev markerade och vidare analyserade. Fem koncept blev extraherade, och slutsatser drogs från dem. Fem intervjuer utfördes och resultaten både styrkte slutsatserna dragna från koncepten, och gav nya intressanta vinklar och aspekter.

Abstract [en]

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) continues to rise in popularity among many organisations. Problems, risks, and threats connected to this device strategy have been thoroughly studied and discussed in many different articles. However, top managers’ role in BYOD policy compliance is an aspect that has been neglected and needs further research. Top managers' involvement, support, and attitude towards information security work affect employee’s intentions to comply with security policies. Hence, shedding light on the effect managers and corporate culture can have is deemed beneficial for both organisations and their leaders. A systematic literature review was conducted to answer what role top managers play in BYOD policy compliance. Specific search terms were used in four different databases to find articles which were then put through a process to assess their quality based on pre-defined selection criteria. This process led to 14 articles that were deemed to be contributory to this thesis. Concepts that were discussed and occurred in several of the selected articles were highlighted and further analysed. Five concepts were extracted, and conclusions were drawn from them. Five interviews were conducted, and the results supported the conclusions drawn from the concepts and provided interesting new angles and aspects.
