Abstract

In today’s dynamic business environment, startup companies are increasingly recognized for their ability to innovate and drive creativity. Organizational culture plays a critical role in shaping these qualities, fostering an environment where employees feel encouraged to think outside the box. However, the specific ways in which organizational culture influences creativity and innovation within startups remain underexplored, particularly in small and emerging companies. This study aims to explore the role of organizational culture in fostering creativity and innovation within startup companies. By examining the interplay between organizational culture and creative processes, this research seeks to provide insights into how startups can cultivate a culture that drives innovation and long-term success. A mixed-method approach was employed, consisting of qualitative interviews with founders and employees of 15 startups and quantitative surveys distributed to 100 startup employees. The research focused on three key aspects of organizational culture: values, leadership, and communication. Data was analyzed using thematic analysis for qualitative responses and statistical analysis for survey results. The study revealed that a flexible, open, and collaborative organizational culture significantly enhances creativity and innovation. Startups that prioritized trust, autonomy, and transparent communication reported higher levels of employee satisfaction and more innovative output.

Abstract

Background. The accelerating climate crisis has prompted renewed global interest in ethical frameworks capable of guiding sustainable human–environment relations. In Islamic thought, the Qur’anic concept of khal?fah f?l-ar? (vicegerency on Earth) has traditionally been interpreted as a moral mandate for stewardship, accountability, and balanced interaction with the natural world. Purpose. This study aims to reexamine khal?fah f?l-ar? through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates Qur’anic exegesis, environmental philosophy, and climate ethics. Method. A qualitative research design is employed using textual hermeneutics, thematic content analysis of classical and modern tafsir, and comparative ethical analysis with environmental stewardship models. Results. The findings demonstrate that khal?fah f?l-ar? embodies a tripartite ethical structure: spiritual responsibility to God, moral responsibility to creation, and intergenerational responsibility for ecological continuity. These dimensions provide a normative foundation that contrasts sharply with anthropocentric paradigms driving ecological degradation. The research further shows that classical Islamic sources contain implicit ecological principles—such as moderation (wasatiyyah), balance (m?z?n), prohibition of harm (l? ?arar), and communal trust (am?nah)—which can form an integrated ethical framework for climate action. Conclusion. The study concludes that reinterpretation of khal?fah f?l-ar? offers a theologically grounded, ethically robust, and culturally resonant model for addressing climate crisis in Muslim-majority societies and globally. This work highlights the potential of Islamic environmental ethics to contribute meaningfully to sustainable policy, ecological education, and faith-informed climate activism.

Abstract

Islam in Southeast Asia has developed through continuous engagement with diverse local cultures, producing distinctive religious expressions that reflect both doctrinal continuity and contextual adaptation. Debates surrounding orthodoxy, reform, and cultural legitimacy have intensified in recent decades, highlighting the need for a systematic examination of how Islamic practices are negotiated within plural socio-cultural settings. This study aims to analyze the patterns of interaction between Islamic teachings and local traditions in selected Southeast Asian communities and to identify the mechanisms through which accommodation, contestation, and reinterpretation occur. A multi-site comparative design was employed, integrating quantitative surveys (N = 54), semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis across Indonesia, Malaysia, and southern Thailand. Inferential statistical tests and thematic coding were used to examine institutional, generational, and interpretive variations. The findings reveal a dominant pattern of contextualized orthodoxy in which local customs are selectively integrated through scriptural reasoning and institutional mediation. Significant differences were identified between traditionalist and reform-oriented groups, indicating the influence of educational affiliation and global religious networks. The study concludes that Islamic practice in Southeast Asia represents a dynamic process of negotiated continuity rather than binary opposition between religion and culture.
