This study aims to investigate the extent of citizen cyber threat awareness and the factors that influence behaviors to counter these threats. Using sur-vey data conducted by the South Korean government, on a stratified sam-ple of 6,000 citizens, this study found that the general public was well aware of the presence of various cyber threats. Citizens perceived that these threats have a high likelihood of occurring to them. While this study found a positive relationship between the perception of threats and security actions, most citizens only took a few essential security measures. These findings reveal an online environment where the responsibility of online security falls chiefly on individual citizens. Ultimately, this creates a situa-tion that leaves citizens vulnerable; there is high level of cyber threat awareness, but a low level of preventative actions. This study discusses policy implications related to these findings and citizen perception of the role of government in cybersecurity.

Many nonprofits know they must use social media to engage in, and im-prove, stakeholder relations. However, knowing social media is valuable and using it in a beneficial and appropriate manner are two distinct matters. How can a nonprofit with very limited funding, scope, and human re-sources effectively utilize social media to strengthen public engagement and maintain mission alignment? By examining existing research and iden-tifying the key ways nonprofits are using social media, this study develops an understanding of the most impactful use of time, energy, and resources. The concepts and hypotheses culled from the review of relevant theoretical framework and past research are fleshed out in the real experiences of YouthServe, a Birmingham, Alabama nonprofit organization that creates and connects local youth to volunteer opportunities. YouthServe’s success in using various social media, to promote volunteerism and facilitate event planning, can guide other nonprofit organizations evaluating and striving to advance their own social media footprint.

E-governance is the application of information and communication tech-nology (ICT) to deliver government services, exchange information, com-municate, complete transactions, and integrate various stand-alone systems and services. This literature will discuss post implementation issues in e-governance, which focus on the computer literacy and knowledge of com-puters, software applications, Internet, and email in different organizations. Issues will be compared between the government and quasi-government, officers and staff, males and females, and among different age groups. The paper focuses on post implementation practical issues for e-government. A study from Tamil Nadu’s State Government can also be valuable back-ground for practitioners.

The multi-criteria decision-making model is an important model for infor-mation and training systems. This paper aims to raise concerns associated with problem-oriented learning management, which is based on the multi-criteria decision-making model that adjusts to the level of doubt the users are likely to encounter. In the proposed method of measuring the level of doubt, the user provides a clear, "transparent situational picture" for more objective decision-making. Additionally, the method makes it possible to reduce the probability of guessing the correct answer, which increases the objectivity of knowledge in diagnostic systems for process control training on remote technology.
