## 3 Theoretical Framework  
As seen in the literature review, many practices and theoretical frameworks have been developed using standards and rules to comprehensively address the concerns that governmental and semi-governmental organisations have prior to BYOD adoption [26]. Many studies have also developed standards and rules as theoretical frameworks for BYOD adoption. However, few have outlined the practices, factors, restrictions, standards, and rules that increase user acceptance and willingness to participate in a BYOD programme in a work environment [41]. There is an overlap between studies that examine the standards and rules of working in a BYOD programme, user acceptance of BYOD standards and rules, and the positive and negative effect of BYOD standards and rules on BYOD growth as well as identifying and using the factors that affect stakeholder acceptance of BYOD in a proper framework. Nevertheless, this could simultaneously increase the credibility of BYOD programmes and user acceptance [42]. The first question to be addressed in this literature review was, \"What are the factors affecting the adoption of BYOD programmes by employees at Saudi Arabian organisations?\" Therefore, the intention of employees to participate in a BYOD programme daily had to be evaluated. This was accomplished by using leads to identify the basic and dependent variables that were then used to build the hypotheses and calculate the relevant variables [26]. The TAM model that [PERSON] developed, and which multiple studies have since used, is one of the most popular models for demonstrating and understanding behavioural intent (BI) to accept or reject an innovative technology [37]. It is also one of the most well-established models in research due to its simplicity and adaptability [42]. Several studies have concluded that the TAM model is of tremendous quality and provides statistically reliable results [26; 37; 38]. Therefore, the TAM model is a great framework for gauging user acceptance of new technologies and serves the purposes of this present study. As BYOD programmes increase employee productivity and flexibility at work as well as reduce the organisation's capital expenditure on projects and service programmes regardless of industry, organisations can tout BYOD programmes as beneficial initiatives to their employees [21]. Multiple studies that have investigated the importance of employee compliance with BYOD InfoSec policies have concluded that self-efficacy, response effectiveness, threat severity, and the cost of compliance influence the motivations of employees to comply with BYOD policies. Meanwhile, other studies have examined BYOD programmes in multiple countries and proven that the UTAUT model is well suited to explaining the adoption of technology-related services across multiple cultures and traditions [42]. Of the many theoretical frameworks that have been used to examine BYOD programmes, a few have used the UTAUT model as it is examines consumer behaviour and the level of knowledge in terms of the acceptance of modern technologies. The UTAUT model, which supersedes the TAM model, was developed by [43] and examines the benefits of using a technology and the factors that motivate its adoption as well as influence BI and behaviours when using a technology. Therefore, this present study adopted the UTAUT model as it is the ideal for measuring theoretical structures according to moderators such as gender, age, and level of experience, which are essential factors when gauging acceptance and interest levels, especially in the governmental, semi-governmental, and non-profit sectors [43].
