IT Security Action Plan
Published in Frank R. Spellman, Fundamentals of Public Utilities Management, 2020
If the organization does not have a system in place to control data access, the following precautions are strongly recommended. Every employee should (FCC, 2017): Never access or view client data without a valid business reason. Access should be on a need-to-know basis.Never provide confidential data to anyone—client representatives, business partners, or even other employees—unless you are sure of the identity and authority of that person.Never use client data for development, testing, training presentations, or any purpose other than providing production service, client-specific testing, or production diagnostics. Only properly sanitized data that can’t be traced to a client, client employee, customer, or the organization’s employee should be used for such purposes.Always use secure transmission methods such as secure email, secure file transfer (from application to application), and encrypted electronic media (e.g., CDs, USB drives, or tapes).Always keep confidential data (hard copy and electronic) only as long as it is needed.Follow a “clean desk” policy, keeping workspaces uncluttered and securing sensitive documents so that confidential information does not get into the wrong hands.Always use only approved document disposal services or shred all hardcopy documents containing confidential information when finished using them. Similarly, use only approved methods that fully remove all data when disposing of, sending out for repair, or preparing to reuse electronic media.

The 2014–2015 wave of the FAHS, reported in this article, was administered using a mixed methods approach. Data included both hard-copy mailed surveys and e-mails (online survey launched in December 2014) to the 2007 longitudinal cohort. Also, new participants outside of the survey mailing lists were recruited at five major city hubs in the west, central, and mideastern United States, where notices and hard-copy surveys were distributed and collected before flight departures and after flight arrivals between December 2014 and June 2015. Participation was supplemented by union outreach to members that included a survey link from our Web site (www.FAHealth.org) and announcements through social media. Survey participants could enter a lottery to win an iPad or an Apple Watch over an 18-month period.

Comparing attitudes towards adoption of e-government between urban users and rural users: an empirical study in Chongqing municipality, China
Published in Behaviour & Information Technology, 2021
The data used in this research were obtained from a survey conducted in Chongqing China between March 2019 and September 2019. In order to better design the questionnaire, several pre-tests were conducted. First, we invited 20 individuals to finish the questionnaire and give their feedbacks. Second, we invited 2 professors in the domain of public affairs and 2 government officials in local government to evaluate the questionnaire and offer suggestions. The final questionnaire contains three parts. In the first part, demographic questions, such as age, gender, income, were asked. In the second part, those questions to measure enabling and inhibiting factors were offered. In the last part, we provided questions to understand respondents’ intentions to use e-government and their actual use behaviours. Each survey required around 15–20 min to finish. In order to improve the flexibility of data collection, we prepared both hard-copy questionnaires and electronic questionnaires. Local government in Chongqing offered great support to the data collection. We were allowed to distribute hard-copy questionnaires in public service centres of local government and those staff in public service centres also helped to recommend our surveys to citizens who visited there. Meanwhile, considering that increasingly citizens, especially young people in China today prefer to use social media in their daily life (Zhu and Kou 2019), electronic surveys were distributed via social media. As a response, 1972 surveys were collected. After discarding surveys from non-users (those who never adopt or rarely adopt e-government services), deleting surveys that were incomplete and overlapping, discarding those completed questionnaires that fail to match the characteristics of the target sample based on age, location and income, and deleting surveys that were finished within 5% < of the allocated time (Porumbescu 2016), totally 1073 surveys were collected, including 596 urban residents (55.6%) and 477 rural residents (44.4%), 530 males (49.4%) and 543 females (50.6%). Table 1 presents the demographic information of the respondents.
