Abstract: Information Systems security cannot be fully apprehended if the user lacks the required knowledge and skills to effectively apply the safeguard measures. Knowledge and skills enhance one's self-efficacy. Individual self-efficacy is an important element in ensuring Information Systems safeguard effectiveness. In this research, we explore the role of individual's self-efficacy for Information Systems security adoption. The study uses the method of Systematic Literature Review using 42 extant studies to evaluate individual self- efficacy for Information Systems security innovation adoption. The systematic review findings reveal the appropriateness of the existing empirical investigations on the individual self-efficacy for Information Systems security adoption. Furthermore, the review results confirmed the significance of the relationship between individual self-efficacy and Information Systems security adoption. In addition, the study validates the past administration of the research on this subject in terms of sample size, sample subject and theoretical grounds.
