Abstract
Purpose
This research investigates cybersecurity awareness integration with organizational HR policies in building organizational resilience. Maintaining an organizational focus on Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, it includes HR-led practices—onboarding, recruitment, training, performance management, and disciplinary actions—that influence cybersecurity behavior among employees.
Design/Methodology/Approach
Mixed-methods research was used. HR professionals and employees answered surveys evaluating awareness initiatives' coverage. HR managers and IT specialists gave semi-structured interviews, offering richer details. Descriptive stats and thematic coding were used for analysis.
Findings
Results Findings indicate that organizations are largely aware of the worth of cybersecurity but lack systematic HR-initiated programs. Organized onboarding, regular training, and appraisal systems with cybersecurity indicators reinforce worker ruggedness and accountability. Organizations integrating awareness into HR processes outperform organizations applying awareness as an IT problem.
Limitations/Implications
It is location-specific and is susceptible to response bias. But it emphasizes the need for HR-IT collaboration and provides actionable ideas for policymakers and leaders. Originality By correlating cybersecurity and HRM, the paper underscores HR as an engine of long-term sustainability in new overseas markets and worker behavior.
Originality/Value
The research provides a novel contribution in filling the void between cybersecurity and HRM research. While technological defenses are targeted in most previous literature, the study frames HR as a key driver solely responsible for determining employee behavior, organizational preparedness, and long-term cyber risk management. It provides organizational guidance in new markets, such as Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, so that awareness initiatives are aligned with their HR system.
