Abstract

This study explores congregants’ perceptions of transparency, governance, trust, motivation, mosque performance, and donation intention in the context of mosque fund management in Brunei Darussalam. A cross-sectional quantitative descriptive research design was employed, comprising a pilot study involving 30 respondents and a full-scale survey involving 256 respondents. The questionnaire consisted of 83 items, and its internal reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s Alpha, yielding an overall coefficient of 0.945, indicating excellent reliability. Descriptive statistical analysis, including frequencies, percentages, mean scores, and standard deviations, was used to examine respondents’ perceptions of the investigated constructs. The findings revealed that donation intention was reported at a very high level (mean = 4.44), followed by trust, motivation, governance, mosque performance, and transparency. Religious motivation emerged as the most highly rated factor encouraging charitable giving, while concerns regarding the potential misuse of donated funds remained an important issue among respondents. The study contributes contextual evidence on mosque fund management in Brunei Darussalam by describing congregants’ views regarding transparency, accountability, and trust. The findings provide practical implications for mosque administrators and policymakers in promoting transparent, accountable, and sustainable mosque financial management.

Abstract

This study examines the legislative framework governing charitable donation collections in Brunei Darussalam, with a particular focus on issues of legal compliance, financial management transparency, and donor protection. Charitable donation collection plays a vital role in supporting public welfare, social development, and the revitalization of mosques. However, both conventional and digital collection methods present a range of challenges, including inconsistent regulatory guidelines, weaknesses in monitoring and enforcement, and varying levels of transparency across institutions. This study adopts a mixed-methods approach comprising qualitative analysis of legislation, regulatory guidelines, and official reports, together with a quantitative survey administered to members of the public. Statistical analysis using SPSS, supported by Cronbach’s Alpha reliability testing, confirmed the internal consistency of the research instrument. The findings indicate that public trust is significantly influenced by transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of financial governance. This study is expected to strengthen policies and the legislative framework governing charitable donation collections, enhance the integrity of religious and charitable institutions, and serve as a valuable reference for policymakers in improving fund management practices in accordance with Shariah principles and contemporary governance standards.
