Abstract

The data protection compliance has been discussing among multidiscipline academician and practitioners. However, there is a lack of prior study conducting in Indonesia's environment. Therefore, this study has a research objective of investigating the effect of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on attitude toward data protection policy among medical staff in west Sumatra, Indonesia. Besides, this study also seeks to determine the relationship between attitude toward data protection policy and data protection compliance. Data is gathered through survey and analysed using the SEM-PLS. Smart-Pls is applied by considering the assessment of measurement and structural model. The result shows that there is a positive significant relationship between perceived usefulness and attitude toward data protection policy. This study documents a positive association between attitude toward data protection and data protection compliance. Practically, this study implies that to increase the compliance behaviour among medical staffs, the institution has to increase the attitude toward data protection policy and perceived usefulness. Theoretically, this study contributes to the technology acceptance model.
