DESCRIPTION:Phishing has become the most common cybersecurity threat and i
 ncreasingly exploits human factors rather than technical vulnerabilities. 
 This study examined the relationships between cybersecurity awareness\, tr
 aining frequency\, user cyber-hygiene behaviour\, organisational culture\,
  risk perception\, and self-reported phishing vulnerability. and the theor
 etical basis of this research is the Technology Threat Avoidance Theory (T
 TAT). A quantitative correlational design was used for data collection and
  analysis with Pearson correlation in structured questionnaires. The resul
 ts indicated that the five independent variables have a significant positi
 ve relationship with phishing vulnerability. The increased awareness and r
 egular training correlate with greater recognition of the vulnerability\, 
 suggesting improved self-observation but not an increased risk. On the sam
 e note\, users with high cyber-hygiene practices also perceived themselves
  as more vulnerable\, suggesting that protective measures can be driven by
  risk perception. An organisational culture also significantly correlated 
 with vulnerability\, which requires institutions that are supportive to pr
 ovide a key role in threat perception. Vulnerability was also impacted by 
 risk perception\, with those who perceived phishing to be serious and pers
 onalised tending to agree that they were vulnerable. The findings\, in gen
 eral\, support the idea that phishing vulnerability is a multidimensional 
 phenomenon shaped by cognitive\, behavioural\, and organisational factors.
