The trend of bring your own device (BYOD) in an organization has raised significant concerns about information system security as employees use their personal devices to access organizational resources. This study aims to examine employees' intention to comply with an organization’s IS security policy in BYOD setting. We derived our research model from reactance theory, protection motivation theory and organizational justice theory. The results of this study demonstrate that perceived threat appraisal, response efficacy and self-efficacy increase an employee’s intention to comply with BYOD security policy. Conversely, perceived freedom threat due to imposed security policy decreased an employee’s intention to comply with the security policy. We also found that an employee’s perceived justice of BYOD policy would promote intention to comply. An interesting double-edged sword effect of a security awareness program was confirmed by the results. BYOD security awareness program increases an employee’s response efficacy and response cost. Availability of an IT support team for BYOD in an organization was also found to increase an employee’s self-efficacy and perceived digital mutualism justice.
