Abstract

U današnje doba 4. industrijske revolucije mnogi fizički resursi postaju digitalni. Tehnološki rast i razvoj je nezaustavljiv i toliko je snažan da iz temelja mijenja živote ljudi. Iznimna brzina promjene od čovjeka zahtijeva prilagodbu novoj eri umrežavanja svega. Konstantno napredovanje tehnologije za sobom povlači prilike, ali i opasnosti. Digitalna transformacija poduzeća i pojedinaca podrazumijeva i korjenite promjene u načinu poslovanja.

Sve to ljude izlaže značajnim rizicima vezanim uz kibernetičku sigurnost. Međutim, ne ponašaju se svi pojedinci jednako rizično u kibernetičkoj sigurnosti. Neke osobe su ranjivije od drugih, a osobine ličnosti u tome igraju značajnu ulogu.

U ovom radu analizirala se povezanost osobina ličnosti i ponašanja pojedinaca u kibernetičkoj sigurnosti. Tražio se odgovor na glavno istraživačko pitanje: Postoji li povezanost između određenih osobina ličnosti ispitanika i njihove sklonosti rizičnom ili manje rizičnom ponašanju u kibernetičkoj sigurnosti?

Empirijsko istraživanje provedeno je na uzorku od 92 ljudi koji su ispunjavali online anketni upitnik koji sadrži 78 pitanja zatvorenog tipa. Ustanovljena je slaba negativna korelacija između savjesnosti i ukupnog rezultata na ljestvici rizičnog ponašanja u kibernetičkoj sigurnosti. Ispitanici koji su ostvarili viši rezultat u savjesnosti, manje se upuštaju u rizična ponašanja u kibernetičkoj sigurnosti.

Abstract (english)

In today's age of the 4th Industrial Revolution, many physical resources are becoming digital. Technological growth and development are unstoppable and so powerful that it fundamentally changes people's lives. The extraordinary speed of change requires man to adapt to a new era of networking everything. The constant advancement of technology entails opportunities, but also dangers. The digital transformation of companies and individuals also implies radical changes in the way we do business.

All of this exposes people to significant cybersecurity risks. However, not all individuals behave equally as risky in cybersecurity. Some people are more vulnerable than others, and personality traits play a significant role in that.

This paper analyzes the relationship between personality traits and individuals' behaviour in cybersecurity. The answer to the main research question was sought: Is there a connection between certain personality traits of the respondents and their propensity for risky or less risky cybersecurity behaviour?

The empirical research was conducted on a sample of 92 people who completed an online survey questionnaire containing 78 closed-ended questions. A weak negative correlation was found between conscientiousness and the overall score on the risky cybersecurity behaviour scale. Respondents who score higher in conscientiousness are less likely to engage in risky cybersecurity behaviour
