This study was aimed to assess the relationship between employees’ attitude and
information security (InfoSec) performance in the Ethiopian, INSA context. Accordingly,
attitude was treated as the independent variable, while InfoSec performance was treated
as a dependent variable. A correlational research design was employed. A total of 320
participants were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. AIS and ISP
scales were administered to collect the quantitative data. Based on the suitability of the
data and research questions designed, both descriptive statistics such as percent and
frequency and inferential statistics such as independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson
Correlation, and regression data analysis methods were performed. Accordingly, the
present study revealed the following findings. First, employees InfoSec performance
significantly differed by their sex and educational levels. Second, attitude significantly
related to and predicted the employees’ InfoSec performance. Based on the findings of
