| Abstract: | Background/purpose: This study examines the relationship between students’ cybersecurity vulnerability behavior and e-learning obstacles. With the rapid growth of online education, ensuring the security and privacy of digital
platforms has become crucial. In this background, the current study is a first-of-its-kind attempt to understand the
relationship between these two variables in the background of higher educational institutions in Iraq.
Methods: For this study, the researchers collected data during 2023 from students aged between 19 and 25 enrolled
in the University of Karbala, Iraq, using a semi-structured research questionnaire, who were selected through a random sampling method. The questionnaire comprised questions pertaining to the dimensions of both the dependent
and the independent variable. A total of 350 valid responses were considered for the analysis in which PLS-SEM
was conducted.
Results: The outcomes revealed that the professional and human obstacles have a high association with cybersecurity vulnerability behavior. The study also found that the overall obstacles have a significant effect on the cybersecurity vulnerability behavior. All hypotheses were verified and the outcomes confirm that there is an effective
relationship between cybersecurity vulnerability behavior and e-learning obstacles Conclusion: Based on the study outcomes, the authors proposed a few recommendations for all the stakeholders of the e-learning process, such as ducational institutions, governments, faculty members, students, and their parents. Though the current study has been confined to a single university in Iraq, future researchers can focus on expanding the study to other higher educational institutions so that a nationwide policy-level initiative can be brought based on the research evidence. |
