“…the number of times a donation crowdfunding activity was shared) as a mediating variable affecting fundraising ability. Based on the empirical research of Salido and Andres (2021) our study innovatively uses the update frequency and reading volume of crowdfunding activities as representatives of activity transparency. We built a model for fundraising success and proposed that activity transparency impacts fundraising through its moderating effect on social interaction, analyzing the path and connections related to society’s fundraising ability for donation crowdfunding.…”

PurposeInformation opacity in donation crowdfunding activities has constrained the healthy development of China’s public welfare activities. Addressing the trust crisis and enhancing public engagement warrants further investigation. This study aims to uncover the moderating effect of activity transparency by utilizing data from 1,029 donation crowdfunding projects on the Sina Weibo Public Welfare Social Platform. In this way, we seek to elucidate the impact of donation crowdfunding events on fundraising ability.Design/methodology/approachThis study selects text complexity, number of supporters, creator experience, and social capital as explanatory variables; innovatively selects the number of updates of online crowdfunding activities and total reading volume as moderating variables; selects the number of shares of crowdfunding activities as a mediating variable; and constructs a moderated mediation multiple regression model for fundraising ability.FindingsOur findings indicate that independent variables, such as text complexity, number of supporters, and social capital, can significantly affect the dependent variable, fundraising ability. However, creator experience does not influence fundraising ability. Furthermore, social interaction has a mediating effect, whereas activity transparency has a reverse moderating effect. These results indicate that social interaction can enhance the fundraising ability of donation crowdfunding events. However, with an increase in information transparency, the fundraising ability of social media decreases.Originality/valueThe originality of this research is in clarifying the internal factors affecting fundraising ability through induction, making bold assumptions, and focusing on how social media’s effective interaction and activity transparency will affect public welfare crowdfunding fundraising ability.

“…The emergence of digital platforms as a means of collecting zakat should prompt conventional ZIS organizations to start using new technologies (Salido-Andres et al, 2021;Zhou & Ye, 2021).

“…Technology disruption arose from the establishment of new social enterprises that initially lacked significant social capital relative to older institutions (Salido-Andres et al, 2021). In the zakat collection process, digitalbased social entrepreneurs have assumed the function of Zakat, Infaq, and Shodaqoh institutions (Hudaifah et al, 2022).…”

Technological disruption has changed the process of collecting zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh (ZIS). These changes can pose both threats and opportunities for ZIS institutions. This study aims to describe the acceptability of ZIS institutional technology from a Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) perspective. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. This study uses a data collection method consisting of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Using in-person interviews and via cell phone. The subject of this research is the head of the ZIS institution. The results of the study state that all ZIS institutions have made technological innovations in collecting zakat, infaq, and shodaqoh. The existence of limited human resources and organizations' low acceptance of digital platforms are obstacles to not maximizing digital platforms' use. Strong encouragement from muzakki, government, and digital platform-based ZIS institutions has inspired them to develop technological innovations that suit their needs. This research contributes practically to ZIS institutions that the map of muzakki and donors has begun to change so that technological readiness is the key to the sustainability of ZIS institutions.

Crowdfunding (CF) has become a significant force in the entrepreneurial landscape, offering an innovative alternative to traditional financing channels for startups and projects. As the field expands, it is crucial to systematically analyze the existing literature to identify key themes, patterns, and emerging areas of interest. To achieve this goal, this study investigates the CF literature using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA)-based topic modeling based on 1,678 publications extracted from the Scopus database. The review reveals significant growth in CF research, with top journals spanning diverse disciplines. Eight main topics are identified, including CF campaign success and financing, donation-based CF, social effects of CF, entrepreneurial projects and rewards in CF, financial and fintech aspects of CF, CF project success and performance, P2P lending models and credit risk assessment, and equity CF and venture capital. Several research directions are suggested for each topic to advance the CF field. The theoretical and practical implications are also discussed. To the authors’ best knowledge, this study represents the first systematic analysis of the CF literature using the LDA approach, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of this field and highlighting emerging areas of interest and potential research directions.
