Abstract
While information technology has increasingly created various innovation opportunities in organizations, these opportunities have caused serious risks associated with information. Due to these potential risks, information security has become a major concern in organizations, and the role of the chief security officer has begun to attract research attention. Using a social capital theory perspective, this study aims to explore how the level of relational leadership of the chief security officer drives the social alignment between business and IT executives. Specifically, we study how social alignment influences integrated knowledge, information security system (ISS) effectiveness, and organizational performance. Empirical data from one hundred and two government organizations in the Republic of Korea confirms the impact of relational leadership, social alignment, and ISS effectiveness on organizational performance.
