Throughout the world, crime is predominantly devastating among the youth age group, and such is the case in the Malaysian context. Studies have shown that some youth get involved in crime unknowingly especially crimes involving cyberbullying, spousal physical violence, forced intimacy, and verbal abuse simply because of lack of knowledge on what is considered a crime. The issue of crime affects the youth themselves, their families, and the community at large. It is against this background that the study shares the concept of raising awareness on crime amongst youth's cybercrime, drug abuse, and sexual abuse through the digital youth program. The study was guided by the structural functionalism theory. The research took a quantitative quasi-cross-sectional study design and raised awareness among 100 students between the ages of 18-23 (emerging adults) at College Genius, Klang, Selangor, divided into the experimental group and the control group. The ratings of awareness projects can be assessed before and after using police standardized crime awareness appraisal questionnaire. Results of the study show a significant difference in crime knowledge before and after intervention for the experimental group and no difference significant for

“…However, the traditional organizational design literature is insufficient to explain this form of organization, because it only focuses on internal operations. Moreover, because of the rise of Information and Communication Technologies, organizations can collaborate in ways that could previously only be achieved within organizations such as open source communities (Shah, ) and online civic communities (Tim, Pan, Bahri, & Fauzi, ; Tim, Pan, Bahri, & Fauzi, ). These organizations consist of members who are not bound by employment relationships.…”

Extant studies on digital entrepreneurship have mainly focused on firm-level characteristics and overlooked the external environment, ie, the digital entrepreneurial ecosystem (DEE). This study intends to fill that gap by exploring how a DEE emerges. We adopt the metaorganization theory as our theoretical lens and conduct an in-depth case study at Zhongguancun, a budding DEE often referred to as China's Silicon Valley. Case analysis reveals that the emergence of a DEE is a process of forming a meta-organization, whereby labour is divided into 3 roles and effort is integrated via 2 processes. Our study contributes to the digital entrepreneurship literature by offering a community perspective. It also contributes to the literature on meta-organization, which has mainly focused on the globally distributed meta-organizations and overlooked the collocated metaorganizations such as a DEE. Regarding practical implications, policymakers and community leaders responsible for DEE development can use our findings to develop their local DEEs.

“…To provide a more detailed perspective of the factors that are influencing CE either directly or indirectly via online and offline civic actions (online_CA and offline_CA), the present study considers the indications of previous works that have examined the relationship between CE and ST (Putnam, 2000;Andrews, 2009;Habibov et al, 2017) by focusing on those studies that have analyzed the relationship between digital platforms usage and civic behavior (Bala, 2014;Gil de Zúñiga et al, 2014;Tim et al, 2017).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze citizen engagement and to explain the underlying mechanism that makes well-intended people to act as disinformation amplifiers in the online space. The study offers new insights to be used by knowledge management for improving society’s potential to downsize the impact of disinformation that puts both knowledge system and social trust (ST) under high pressure. Design/methodology/approach The study proposes an integrative research model to explain how ST and conspiracy mentality (CM) are influencing citizen engagement in public life through different forms of action that is specific to offline or online spaces. The research model and its nine hypotheses are tested based on a survey for data collection and partial least squares method for data analysis. Findings The study finds that both online and offline actions are mediating the positive effect of ST on citizen engagement. Yet, CM has a high impact on online actions, and it exerts a significant indirect influence on citizen engagement in this manner. Originality/value Revealing the mediator role of online actions in the relationship between CM and civic engagement, the paper brings novel insights on disinformation spreading. The study explains how citizen engagement can sometimes be turned against social well-being because those prone to belief in conspiracies are the perfect targets of deceivers seeking for disinformation amplifiers in the online environment.
