作者：

Highlights：

• Workplace cybersecurity risks include systems-specific and human behavioral concerns.

• Impacts of protective inclinations on risky cybersecurity behavior have not been widely studied.

• Technology threat avoidance factors were analyzed regarding risky cybersecurity behavior by 184 working adults in the US.

• Perceived susceptibility, perceived cost, and self-efficacy significantly predicted risky cybersecurity behavior.

• The predictors explained approximately 9.4% of variance in risky cybersecurity behavior by participants.
