Existing academics studies have revealed a gap in the literature in understanding how mature users of Social Media (SM) employ protective measures in their SM interactions. The research question guiding this study was: To what extent is there a statistically significant association between employees' perceived severity of threats, perceived vulnerability to threats, age generation, and gender in relation to online protective security behaviors across the United States? The classical protection motivation theory (PMT) factors of vulnerability and severity to a threat were used in this study. To test whether there was a significant association between the dependent variable (DV) of employee's online protective behaviors, and the independent variables (IVs) of employees' gender, generational group age, and perceptions of severity of threats and vulnerability to threats within online social network sites. Secondary (archival) data from the Pew Research Center's study labeled Pew Omnibus-July_2013_anonymous was employed in this research. Participants of the Pew study that matched the inclusion criteria resulted in the sample set of n =190. The sample set was primarily middle to upper class Americans who were either employed full time or part-time. The results of a chi2 test were supported by binomial logistic regression. In this multifaceted study, certain theoretical elements of PMT were corroborated, and some were contradicted. Findings indicate that both gender and age were significant factors in the perceived severity of a threat to information disclosure, confirming this aspect of the PMT model. However, the perception of vulnerability to a threat of personal information disclosure contradicts PMT theory. Findings are discussed in relation to advancing PMT research within the context of employee online safety behaviors and the threat they can pose to an organization's intellectual property and security networks.
