SECURITY & PRIVACY RISK ASSOCIATED CLOUD COMPUTING
Abstract
The study investigates the relationship between security and privacy risks and their connection
with the adoption of cloud computing in the business sector. The scholarly literature has an
existing gap regarding threat severity, threat susceptibility, response efficacy, and self-efficacy in
adopting cloud computing. The investigation variables are from the protection motivation theory
(PMT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Due to those mentioned earlier, the study has
two research questions. The first question is, to what extent do perceptions of threat severity,
threat susceptibility, response efficacy, and self-efficacy on security risks contribute to the
variance in the intention to adopt cloud computing in the business sector? The second question
is, to what extent do perceptions of threat severity, threat susceptibility, response efficacy, and
self-efficacy on private risks contribute to the variance in the intention to adopt cloud computing
in the business sector? The subquestions, null, and alternative hypotheses measure each
independent variable factor, individually. The methodology for the study is quantitative with a
correlational approach. Individuals with a minimum of five years of experience, in information
technology (IT), in the United States are the target population. The demographic information in
the survey questionnaire included sex, years of employment, application service area, and
geographical area. Participants answered questions from a survey; the collected data used a
Likert-type 1-to-7-point scale, ranking the responses. The multiple correlational (R) and the
multiple correlations squared (R2) coefficients of the multiple linear regression answered the two
research questions and determined the effect of the variables. The F distribution and probability
(p) are the values to confirm the results obtained. The findings, based on the research literature
and the statistical data, showed each examined factor affects the intention to adopt cloud

computing to different degrees. In the investigation results the most significant effect was self-
efficacy for a security risk situation, R(216) = .55, R2 = .30, p < .00001. Also the most significant
effect was self-efficacy for a privacy risk situation, R(216) = .61, R2 = .37, p < .00001. A
practical implication from the investigation, training is essential for both IS personnel and
company officers. Corporate officials’ hesitation in adopting new technology, such as cloud
computing, can be reduced. The impact of facilitating training for the Information Systems (IS)
personnel allows the personnel a better understanding of cloud computing technology. The
training needs to include techniques on deploying the new technology and methods in
safeguarding against threats. Another implication of this training leads to obtain better results
regardless of the other three factors. Company officials and IS personnel need to collaborate in
the implementation of cloud computing. The investigation concludes that both training and
collaboration will have an immediate positive impact by improving the adoption and
implementation of cloud computing technology.

Dedication
I wish to thank God for His compassion in my successful completion of the entire
doctoral program, especially during the challenging moments. Without you, I would not have
achieved this goal. This dissertation is dedicated to all my family, especially to my parents, Mr.
José Vargas and Mrs. Doris Moya, who showed me the way of studying and fighting for my
goals. My sister, Linette Vargas, has always supported me during my challenges and in my
achievements. The dedication is extended to Jarel and Jareliz, my nephews, bringing joy to my
life, during this process. To my friend Abraham Aponte and his family, for their encouragement
throughout the academic and dissertation process. To my coworkers at the Interamerican
University of Puerto Rico, Aguadilla Campus, especially Dr. José Otaola, for his support. Again
thank all for your patience and help during my academic quest.
