Abstract

This study aims to systematically map the development of research on Islamic Business Ethics (IBE) and MSME performance through a bibliometric analysis approach. The increasing importance of ethical business practices and the strategic role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in economic development have generated growing academic interest in understanding how Islamic ethical values contribute to organizational performance and sustainability. Data were collected from the Scopus database covering publications from 2016 to 2026 and analyzed using VOSviewer. The analysis included publication trends, keyword co-occurrence, citation analysis, and thematic mapping to identify the intellectual structure and emerging research directions within the field. The findings indicate a generally increasing trend in publications, particularly after 2020, reflecting the growing relevance of Islamic Business Ethics in contemporary business studies. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed three major dimensions of research: normative, practical, and institutional–behavioral dimensions. While the literature is predominantly focused on Islamic values, ethics, and finance-related topics, studies explicitly linking Islamic Business Ethics to MSME performance remain limited. Recent research demonstrates a shift toward sustainability, innovation, entrepreneurship, and performance-oriented themes. The study identifies significant research gaps and proposes future research agendas focusing on the direct and indirect effects of Islamic Business Ethics on MSME performance, sustainability, and competitive advantage. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolving research landscape and provide directions for future empirical investigations.

Abstract

Pesatnya kemajuan teknologi digital dan media sosial membuka peluang besar bagi Generasi Z untuk menggerakkan ekonomi kreatif. Meski dikenal adaptif terhadap internet, kelompok ini sering kali terkendala keterbatasan teknis dalam mengelola konten digital bernilai ekonomi, seperti fotografi produk, branding, dan optimalisasi social commerce. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan rancangan, implementasi, dan capaian Program Gen Z UMKM Accelerator (G-ZUA) bertema “Dari Ide ke Pasar Digital”, sebuah inisiatif untuk mendorong kemandirian ekonomi pemuda melalui konten kreatif. Program ini menerapkan metode partisipatif berbasis praktik (learning by doing) yang menyasar pelajar, mahasiswa, dan wirausahawan pemula dari kalangan Generasi Z. Rangkaian kegiatan meliputi penanaman entrepreneurial mindset, pembentukan keterampilan digital (fotografi smartphone, videografi dasar, copywriting, branding), hingga simulasi penjualan digital. Evaluasi program dilakukan melalui observasi partisipan, wawancara kendala usaha, serta dokumentasi karya konten peserta. Hasil program menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan praktis dan kolaboratif efektif meningkatkan pemahaman peserta mengenai strategi pemasaran dan visualisasi produk. Peserta berhasil memproduksi konten promosi yang menarik, memahami algoritma media sosial, serta mengoptimalkan social commerce. Selain aspek teknis, program ini memperkuat semangat kolaborasi melalui pendampingan berbasis komunitas (cross-promotion dan networking). Disimpulkan bahwa model pemberdayaan berbasis komunitas dan berorientasi visual ini sangat relevan dengan karakteristik Generasi Z, serta potensial diadopsi sebagai model berkelanjutan untuk memperkuat ekosistem UMKM digital muda.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine how digital payment adoption, particularly QR-based systems and e-wallets, relates to SME financial performance through operational efficiency. Previous studies have largely examined the direct relationship between digital payment adoption and financial performance, while the role of operational efficiency as an explanatory mechanism remains insufficiently synthesized. Guided by the SPAR-4-SLR and PRISMA frameworks, the review analyzed 29 peer-reviewed English-language articles published between 2020 and 2026 from Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and Emerald Insight. The synthesis reveals that digital payment adoption enhances operational efficiency by accelerating transaction processing, reducing administrative costs, improving financial accuracy, and strengthening transaction records. However, evidence on the direct effect of digital payment adoption on financial performance remains mixed, suggesting that adoption alone does not automatically generate financial gains. The originality of this study lies in synthesizing fragmented evidence and positioning operational efficiency as a central explanatory mechanism linking digital payment adoption to SME financial performance. The review is limited to English-language peer-reviewed articles and may not capture relevant studies in other languages or publication formats. The findings imply that SME managers, policymakers, and fintech providers should focus not only on adoption but also on operational integration, digital capability development, and the development of supportive infrastructure.
