Abstract

The cost of a network outage can reach millions of dollars depending on the duration of the outage and the size and line of business of the organisation. Companies rely on NOC analysts (the first line of response to network incidents and outages) to proactively search for potential problems and eliminate or minimise their threat to avoid significant cost loss and reputational damage. Through semi-structured interviews conducted with ten current or former NOC analysts, we have uncovered that contrary to existing studies, extrinsic motivation in the form of monetary rewards and recognition had the most influence on encouraging proactive behaviour.
