Abstract
There are some psychology measures for the organization to evaluate the mental status of the employees in Taiwan, but those measures cannot detect the insiders. The purpose of this study is to develop a checklist for the supervisors or unit heads that can apply to ensure the organization safety. Based on the model for causes of specific precursor and organization safety that structured by this study and analysis of the insider threat events by literature review, before the insiders try to execute the major malicious activity, there are some precursors. And those precursors are caused by different factors. If those precursors can be detected and be handled before the insider takes further acts, hazard will not happen. At first, this study implements Chinese Basic Personality Inventory (CBPI) to figure out the similarities and differences of mental condition between the employees in certain company and the others, and takes place the structured interview to understand if the employee in certain company have stress what the strategies the supervisors will take. Then, the model for causes of specific precursor and organization safety is structured and the checklist is developed based on this model. The checklist is divided into two parts. One part is the strategies those are took to prevent risk happen, and the other part is the precursors those insider threats appear. Then, the structured interview with experts is taken place to modify those strategies and precursors in the checklist and to possess expert validity. Finally, the questionnaire is implemented to evaluate the reliability of the checklist. The experts are recruited to evaluate this checklist to possess content validity. According to the high Cronbach’s alpha of the questionnaire (0.961), the reliability is acceptable. This checklist can be applied to the organization departments to help the supervisors to have a concept of the relationship between the precursors and the organization safety. It is helpful for the supervisors to check if there are potential insiders in their organization. Some strategies can be taken to ensure the safety of the organization. This study focuses on how to develop a checklist for insider threat prevention and applying this checklist is necessary for the further study.
