作者:

Highlights:

• We integrate both deterrence and neutralization theories to study the behavior.

• We extend general deterrence theory by incorporating benefits into the model.

• Neutralization is the strongest predictor of personal Internet use intention.

• Perceived benefits have a positive effect on personal use of the Internet.

• Sanctions are found to have mixed impacts on personal use of the Internet.
