This paper reports on a study aiming to explore factors associated with behavioral intention to follow a social engineering awareness campaign. The objectives of this study were to determine how perceived severity, perceived vulnerability, perceived threat, fear, subjective norm, attitude towards behavior, perceived behavioral control, self-efficacy, response efficacy, trust in authorities, perceived regulation, authorities performance, information sensitivity and privacy concern are associated with individuals' behavioral intention to follow a social engineering awareness campaign. The study employed a cross-sectional research design. A survey was conducted among individuals in Slovenia between January and June 2020. A total of 553 respondents completed the survey providing for N=542 useful responses after excluding poorly completed responses (27.9 percent response rate). The survey questionnaire was developed in English. A Slovenian translation of the survey questionnaire is available.
