The Factorial Survey Method: Applications for Information Security Research • Anthony Vance
John is a low-level manager in a small company where he was recently hired. His company has a strong policy that each computer workstation must be password-protected and that passwords are not to be shared.
However, John is on a business trip and one of his co-workers needs a file on his computer. John expects that sharing his password could save his company a lot of time.
He also knows that the firm has mandatory information security training. John shares his password with his co-worker.
