Abstract

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of philosophical mindset and workload on cybersecurity behavior based on the role of psychological contract violation, job burnout, and self-efficacy in interaction with artificial intelligence. To achieve the research objective, about 391 questionnaires were distributed and collected to collect the required information among managers and employees of knowledge-based companies. The information collected by the questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS24 and Smart PLS3 software using structural equation modeling. Also, to examine the quality of the measurement tool in this study, index reliability, convergent validity, and divergent validity were used. Analysis and review of the information collected from the research questionnaires using structural equation modeling showed that workload has a negative and significant effect on cybersecurity behavior. Workload has a positive and significant effect on psychological contract violation behavior. Workload has a positive and significant effect on job burnout. Workload has a negative and significant effect on self-efficacy in interaction with artificial intelligence. Philosophical mindset has a positive and significant effect on cybersecurity behavior. Philosophical mindset has a negative and significant effect on psychological contract breach behavior. Philosophical mindset has a negative and significant effect on job burnout. Philosophical mindset has a positive and significant effect on self-efficacy in interacting with AI. Psychological contract breach has a negative and significant effect on cybersecurity behavior. Job burnout has a negative and significant effect on cybersecurity behavior. Self-efficacy in interacting with AI has a positive and significant effect on cybersecurity behavior.
