The study explores the impact of self-initiation, trendiness, usefulness, and good attitude on digital literacy among Malaysian university students, focusing on their readiness for global citizenship. The findings reveal that only trendiness significantly enhances digital literacy, while the other factors show minimal or no impact. This research underscores the need for robust digital literacy to navigate the evolving 4.0 Industrial Revolution, highlighting the importance of staying current with technological advancements to foster global citizenship. Further research should consider broader and cross-national samples for comprehensive insights.
