“…As the overall population of this study was unknown, this study applied non-probability sampling for the data collection. The non-probability sampling is taken if the number of respondents is very large and not countable (Latan et al , 2020). The respondents were identified using a snowball sampling technique by the help of social media.…”

“…This research adopted the same measurement item as the previous empirical studies. Using the measurement item that has generally been deemed practical is better than developing a new measurement item because of the complexity of developing the scales (Latan et al , 2020). Information quality, reputation of social media, social media political marketing activities, trust and political involvement were measured by using the Likert’s scale of five points ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the relationship of information quality of social media, social media reputation, social media political marketing activities, trust and political involvement of millennials. Methodology The empirical analysis was conducted using a sample of 309 millennials. This study used online survey for the data collection. After passing reliability and validity tests, the data were analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling. Findings The results show that information quality of social media has positive and significant direct influence on reputation and trust. Information quality of social media also has a significant indirect influence on trust through social media reputation. However, there is no significant relationship between information quality and political involvement. Social media political marketing activities also have a direct and indirect significant effect on political involvement through trust. Finally, trust also has a positive and significant impact on political involvement. Practical implications This research may contribute to the political marketing experts and politicians in increasing the quality and credibility of advertisements on social media, which will affect trust and political involvement of millennial generation. Moreover, politicians and political marketing experts who have an online-based community should optimize their marketing activities in social media to encourage positive behavior and trust from social media users. Value This study has shown a more comprehensive model of the relationship between information quality of social media and political involvement. This study also reveals the significant indirect effect of the trust on the relationship between information quality on social media, social media political marketing activities and political involvement.

“…Smaili and Arroyo [23] indicate that whistleblowers' intrinsic motivations change depending on whether the whistleblower and the reporting channel are internal or external to the focal organization. Latan et al [55] argue that whistleblowing behavior of external stakeholders, specifically customers, is often overlooked. Such observations can have implications for the design of effective WS.…”

“…However, their preference may vary depending on contextual factors such as industry settings and geographic location. In the auditing industry for example, auditors often prefer utilizing non-anonymous reporting channels [58] despite contrasting research, which finds that auditors do prefer anonymous reporting channels where available [55]. The preference of non-/anonymous reporting channels can also differ based on organization's location and industry [29].…”

Whistleblowing systems serve as a vehicle for change, empowerment, and ethical/social responsibility. Organizational whistleblowing is a socially complex phenomenon that impacts people and organizations across various disciplines and sectors. Whistleblowing is a high-stakes act involving the dissemination of highly sensitive information about multiple actors with tangling stakes/interests. These features inherently make the task of designing effective whistleblowing systems (WS) a challenging one. To address this, our paper develops key design objectives (DO's) for effective WS. We do this by conducting a qualitative literature review of whistleblowing research and by availing elements from design science methods and stakeholder theory. We present four key DO's for effective WS, which we support with a whistleblowing news dataset. This paper serves as a first step in developing design principles (DP's) for effective WS. This research contributes to a growing discourse on organizational whistleblowing in the IS community.

“…Dengan kata lain pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai saluran whistleblowing masih belum banyak digunakan. Padahal, media sosial dapat menjadi saluran whistleblowing karena berkorelasi sebagai metode untuk mengungkap praktik kecurangan (Latan et al, 2020).…”

Dengan meningkatnya penggunaan media sosial di berbagai aktivitas kehidupan membuat media sosial telah beralih menjadi sarana pertukaran dan penyebaran informasi publik. Artikel ini mengelaborasi penggunaan media sosial sebagai saluran whistleblowing disamping saluran anonym lainnya. Perlu diketahui selama ini sistem whistleblowing dibangun hanya melalui saluran yang terintegrasi seperti website dan aplikasi khusus. Penelitian ini mengelaborasi partisipasi digital para warganet untuk menjadi whistleblower guna melaporkan berbagai indikasi kecurangan (fraud) melalui saluran media sosial. Metode penelitian menggunakan kualitatif ekxplanatoris dengan Teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara (in-dept interview). Artikel ini menyatakan bahwa media sosial telah berkonstribusi positif sebagai saluran whistleblowing dalam upaya mendeteksi fraud (kecurangan) di berbagai sektor.
