Abstract
In general, information privacy refers to the protection and control of personal information, particularly in the context of digital technologies and the information age. Nowadays, most businesses use the information without a person's permission, yet it is crucial to balance the rights of individuals who willingly give their information. There are two problems associated which are (1) Inadequate privacy protection related to the self-regulatory efficacy of computer professionals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and (2) Lack of a conceptual model for computer professionals' self-regulatory efficacy in Dhaka, Bangladesh, concerning information privacy practices. The objective of this study is to propose a conceptual model of Dhaka’s computer professionals’ self-regulatory efficacy concerning information privacy practices. This research’s contribution is in the form of a conceptual model for Bangladesh’s computer professionals’ self-regulatory efficacy in safeguarding information privacy. Thus, this research can be a starting point for other researchers to further conduct studies on how self-regulatory efficacy contributes to the computer professional information privacy practice.
