"Information security remains a significant concern for virtually every well-established organization globally. Extensive research indicates that a significant proportion of information security breaches can be attributed to internal employees� disregard for information security policies. Non-compliance with these policies is a complex issue that necessitates both administrative and behavioural solutions. While numerous studies have delved into behavioural aspects of information security, most of this research has cantered around non-IT or non- specialized users. This research paper represents a pioneering pilot study aimed at assessing the information security policy compliance of IT professionals. Formulated hypotheses based on a comprehensive literature review, along with the development of a framework, underpin the study's methodology. The framework incorporates organizational management constructs and draws from two prominent behavioural theories�Protection Motivation Theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The findings from this pilot study underscore the role of organizational management in augmenting employees� protection motivation, ultimately fostering a culture of responsible information security behaviour aligned with information security policy compliance. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024."^^ .
