Factors Influencing Implementation of Cybersecurity Laws in Developing
Economies: Evidence with Quantitative Analysis from Pakistan
Abstract
Abstract
Law implementation seems to be a little-explored phenomenon, despite the
reality that it has become abundantly obvious that law implementation is
influenced by various factors prevalent in the country, and such factors
can influence and hinder potential legislative implementation. This
study examines a few of the key factors that influence cybersecurity law
implementation in emerging economies such as Pakistan. Managers from
banking and IT firms were surveyed about the law’s implementation
factors that could affect its implementation. The prominence of
corruption, which is a significant obstacle to cybersecurity law
implementation, appeared to be the most influencing factor in Pakistan.
The findings from a sample of 172 respondents employing IBM SPSS 23.0
revealed that corruption, discrimination, illicit conduct, and ambiguity
appeared to have a significant negative influence on cybersecurity law
implementation, whereas expertise and public confidence emerged to have
a significant positive influence on the implementation of cybersecurity
laws in Pakistan.
