Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the cyber hygiene practices of remote workers.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper used two instruments: first, the Cyber Hygiene Inventory scale, which measures users’ information and computer security behaviors; second, the Recsem Inventory, developed within this paper’s context, to evaluate the cybersecurity measures adopted by organizations for remote workers. It was conducted on remote workers to examine their information security practices. The instrument was administered to a sample of 442 employees reached via the LinkedIn platform. Analyses were performed with SPSS v26, Python programming language and Seaborn library.

Findings

The findings indicate a significant correlation between the security measures implemented by companies and their employees’ cyber hygiene practices. A sector comparison revealed a significant difference in cyber hygiene levels between public and private sector workers.

Research limitations/implications

This paper aims to provide policymakers with suggestions for enhancing the cyber hygiene of remote workers to facilitate compliance with corporate security protocols.

Originality/value

This paper’s conclusions highlight the importance of companies increasing their cybersecurity investments as remote work becomes more prevalent. This should consider not only corporate-level factors but also employees' information and computer security behaviors.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to analyze the effects of COVID-19 on airlines, airports and the destination Andalusia. On that basis, the study has assessed the bankruptcy of some airlines, closure and reduction of the frequency of air routes, COVID-19 measures at airports by governments, etc., to adapt to new circumstances, be efficient and plan their resources according to the tourist demand.

Design/methodology/approach

A review of the relevant literature on the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation industry, airports and tourism sector are undertaken to understand the link between them. The paper begins by explaining the effects of the pandemic on the aviation industry and discusses its impact in the Andalusian region. Furthermore, this study uses secondary data from IATA, AENA, EUROCONTROL, INE, OAG, UNTWO, etc., to support research results.

Findings

The results of the effects of the pandemic in Andalusia are being devastating and this destination is heavily dependent on tourism. The drastic drop in flight frequencies at airports during the pandemic has caused an average decrease of −65% in passenger arrivals at airports until October 2020 that is 23 million passengers, too many passengers for the Andalusian economy, which depends mainly on the tourism sector.

Originality/value

The study contributes toward assessing the COVID-19 effects on the aviation industry and tourist destinations. Both sectors will re-emerge in the medium term and at different speeds in different regions. The contribution of this study is essential for managers and operators of airlines, airports and tourist destinations to make better future decisions.

COVID-19 对安达卢西亚旅游业和航空业的影响

目标

本研究旨在分析COVID-19对航空公司、机场和目的地安达卢西亚的影响。在此基础上, 研究评估了部分航空公司破产、关闭和减少航线班次、政府在机场采取的COVID-19措施等, 以适应新形势, 提高效率, 按需规划资源。

设计/方法/途径

审查了关于COVID-19对航空业、机场和旅游部门影响的相关文献, 以了解它们之间的联系。文章首先解释了这一流行病对航空业的影响, 并分析了其对安达卢西亚地区的影响。本研究采用IATA、AENA、EUROCONTROL、INE 、UNTWO、OAG等机构的二手数据来支持研究结果。

结果

安达卢西亚大流行的影响结果是毁灭性的, 这个目的地严重依赖旅游业。大流行期间, 机场的航班频次急剧下降, 导致安达卢西亚6个机场到2020年10月的旅客数量平均下降了−65%, 即2300万人次, 对于主要依靠旅游业的安达卢西亚经济来说, 旅客数量太多。

原创性/价值

该研究有助于评估COVID-19对航空业和旅游目的地的影响。这两个行业将在中期内重新崛起, 并且在不同地区以不同的速度发展。本研究的贡献对于航空公司、机场和旅游目的地的管理者和经营者来说是非常必要的, 可以让他们在未来做出更好的决策。

Los efectos del COVID-19 en el turismo y sector aéreo andaluz

Objetivo

Este estudio tiene la finalidad de analizar los efectos del COVID-19 en las aerolíneas, aeropuertos y el destino Andalucía. Sobre esta base, el estudio ha valorado la quiebra de algunas aerolíneas, el cierre y reducción de la frecuencia de rutas aéreas, las medidas COVID-19 en los aeropuertos por parte de los gobiernos, etc., con la finalidad de adaptarse a las nuevas circunstancias, ser eficientes y planificar sus recursos según la demanda.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

Se realiza una revisión de la literatura relevante sobre el impacto del COVID-19 en la industria de la aviación, los aeropuertos y el sector turístico para comprender el vínculo entre ellos. El artículo comienza explicando los efectos de la pandemia en la industria de la aviación y analiza su impacto en la región de Andalucía. Este estudio utiliza datos secundarios de IATA, AENA, EUROCONTROL, INE, OAG, UNTWO, etc., para respaldar los resultados de la investigación.

Resultados

Los resultados de los efectos de la pandemia en Andalucía están siendo devastadores y este destino depende en gran medida del turismo. La drástica caída de la frecuencia de vuelos en los aeropuertos durante la pandemia ha provocado un descenso medio del −65% en las llegadas de pasajeros en los seis aeropuertos andaluces hasta octubre de 2020, es decir, 23 millones de pasajeros, demasiados pasajeros para una economía andaluza que depende principalmente del sector turístico.

Originalidad/valor

El estudio contribuye a evaluar los efectos del COVID-19 en el sector aéreo y los destinos turísticos. Ambos sectores resurgirán a medio plazo y a distintas velocidades en diferentes regiones. La contribución de este estudio es fundamental para que los gestores y operadores de aerolíneas, aeropuertos y destinos turísticos tomen mejores decisiones futuras.
