چکیده
The ethical behavior of information systems personnel remains a key IS management problem in need of attention. Codes of ethics have become important mechanisms for influencing ethical behavior, yet their efficacy has not been proven. The communication and enforcement of codes within an organization are thought to be necessary for ensuring a code’s success in influencing employee behavior. This study examined the effect of code communication on ethical behavior through its effects on code awareness and understanding. Using data collected from 186 IS professionals, results revealed that code understanding by IS professionals was a significant determinant of their ethical behavior. Understanding was significantly influenced by communication and awareness. Enforcement was also found have a significant influence on behavior. Results have important implications for organizations using or intending to use codes of ethics to influence the behavior of IS personnel.

متن کاملAn efficient secure channel coding scheme based on polar codes
In this paper, we propose a new framework for joint encryption encoding scheme based on polar codes, namely efficient and secure joint secret key encryption channel coding scheme. The issue of using new coding structure, i.e. polar codes in Rao-Nam (RN) like schemes is addressed. Cryptanalysis methods show that the proposed scheme has an acceptable level of security with a relatively smaller ke...
متن کاملAn approach to fault detection and correction in design of systems using of Turbo codes
We present an approach to design of fault tolerant computing systems. In this paper, a technique is employed that enable the combination of several codes, in order to obtain flexibility in the design of error correcting codes. Code combining techniques are very effective, which one of these codes are turbo codes. The Algorithm-based fault tolerance techniques that to detect errors rely on the c...

This paper investigates the use of redundancy and self repairing against node failures indistributed storage systems using a novel non-MDS erasure code. In replication method, accessto one replication node is adequate to reconstruct a lost node, while in MDS erasure codedsystems which are optimal in terms of redundancy-reliability tradeoff, a single node failure isrepaired after recovering the ...
