Content validity of assessment instrument for information security culture in relation to digital literacy / Mohd Sharulnizam Kamarulzaman ... [et al.]

This study intends to assess the content validity of an instrument intended to measure the relationship between digital literacy and information security culture among Malaysian administrative and diplomatic officers (ADO). Throughout the process of determining the content validity of the instrument, six specialists were contacted. The item content validity index (I-CVI) and scale content validity index (SCVI) were established for assessing content validity. The two characteristics that were discovered were security risk and security awareness, and each of them had seven and six items, respectively. On the security risk and security awareness aspects of the information security culture, the scale content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) was 0.95 and 1.00 respectively, and the item content validity index (I-CVI) ranged from 0.95 to 1.00. Both indices were consistent with a high level of reliability. It has been determined that the instrument possesses a high level of content validity. In the future, research may be conducted to ensure that the instrument's reliability and other types of validity, such as face validity, concept validity, and criteria validity, are investigated to improve the instrument's applicability.
