Abstract

Developing acceptance of e-wallets among low-income groups is challenging due to factors such as financial limitations, digital literacy gaps, and concerns about security and usability. This study proposes a relationship model using a quantitative research design to validate the hypothesized factors and establish their interconnections. The key determinants influencing e-wallet acceptance include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and facilitating conditions, with behavioral intention serving as a mediating factor. To ensure the reliability and validity of the research instrument, a two-step verification process was conducted. First, a panel of experts reviewed the questionnaire during the validation phase, and their feedback was incorporated. Second, a pilot study was conducted to examine the instrument's consistency using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient reliability screening in SPSS 29 software. The results confirmed that all items were reliable, with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient exceeding 0.7, indicating strong internal consistency

Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: Ethical investment in Southeast Asia is gaining traction, particularly in countries like Indonesia and Malaysia. This research aims to measure the performance of ethical investments and compare them with their opposite category, sin stocks. Investors should avoid sin stocks because they operate in controversial areas and go against ethical investment principles. Background Problems: Previous research conducted in developed countries shows that ethical investments are inferior to sin stocks, thus investors suffer financial sacrifices. Novelty: A comprehensive ethical investment instrument that involves sustainability and religion-based investments. Formation of sin stock portfolios in two Muslim countries. Research Methods: A volatility analysis and a descriptive analysis were carried out to provide a comprehensive picture of the performance of ethical and sin stocks. The analysis continues by comparing and explaining why and how the results occurred. Finding/Results: Ethical stock returns underperformed sin stocks in Malaysia, and ethical stocks outperformed sin stocks in Indonesia. This exciting result can be explained by the differences in screening criteria, perceptions, and regulations in these two neighboring countries. Conclusion: There are no financial sacrifices in ethical investing in Indonesia, so ethical investors do not need to hesitate. They are advised to invest ethically because they achieve two goals at once. Meanwhile, Malaysian ethical investors must be prudent and careful in investing to continue achieving social goals and mitigating losses.

Abstract

In the context of increasing demand for religious tourism, understanding the factors that drive satisfaction among Umrah pilgrims is essential. This study examines the impact of customer experience and bonus packs on the satisfaction of Umrah pilgrims in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that both customer experience and bonus pack significantly influence satisfaction, with both factors having a partial and simultaneous impact on satisfaction. Bonus packs—comprising additional services or amenities—emerged as a strong predictor of satisfaction by enhancing perceived value during the pilgrimage journey (path coefficient = 0.376, p < 0.001). Customer experience also demonstrated a significant positive effect (path coefficient = 0.354, p < 0.038), underscoring the importance of service quality and emotional connection throughout the pilgrimage process. Simultaneously, the two constructs explain 51,5% of the variance in satisfaction (R² = 0.515). These findings underscore the strategic importance of integrating meaningful customer experiences with value-added offerings to enhance service satisfaction in Umrah travel services. Travel agencies are advised to invest in enhancing service touchpoints and bundling attractive bonus features to improve customer satisfaction. Limitations of this study include its regional focus on Tasikmalaya, which may limit its broader applicability. Future research is encouraged to include more diverse populations and investigate moderating variables such as religiosity, service innovation, and digital engagement.

This study aims to assess determinants of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) owners’ compliance behavior in paying zakat (alms). In addition, the sample population comprised 176 SMEs owners in Mataram City who served as participants. Data were collected through online survey instruments using the purposive sampling method. The testing technique and data analysis were carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that zakat literacy, Islamic egalitarianism, and moral norms influenced intention of SMEs owners to pay zakat, while intention affected compliance behavior. This study was essential for zakat institutions to develop new strategies to facilitate compliance behavior, considering the great potential in Indonesia. In addition, the fair and equitable distribution of zakat funds to asnaf (noun group of people worthy of receiving Muslim tithe) was expected to encourage SMEs owners to fulfill their obligation through zakat institutions by increasing the level of trust.

Abstract

The use of digital payment in Indonesia has increased rapidly. The number of users continues to grow every year, making various zakat institutions, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf start innovating to raise funds using a digital payment system. This excellent innovation seems in contrast with the amount of of zakat funds, infaq, waqf, and alms collected; it is still far below the potential number of funds. Many factors influence the intention to pay of the Muslim community in paying zakat, infaq, endowments, and alms. Some factors that need to be investigated are religiosity and trust factor. The aim of this research is to analysis the religiosity and trust factor towards intention to pay zakat, infaq and endowment. Based on that statement, questionnaires will be given to 200 respondents to determine the effect of these factors on the intention to pay of the Muslim community in paying zakat, infaq, endowments, and alms. Using mix methods between quantitative and qualitative, the data is primary from questioner. The result of this study shows that each religiosity and trust has insignificant and significant related to the intention to pay zakat, infaq, endowments, and alms. However, trust as intervening variable could affect religiosity indirectly, regarding its impact towards intention to pay.Keywords: Digital Payment, Intention to Pay, Religiosity, Trust, ZISWAF

Abstract

Personal bankruptcy is a pertinent topic to discuss due to the surge in personal bankruptcy cases around the world and it is an important indicator of household financial problems nationally. However, only few comprehensive reviews have been conducted to date. Hence, this study provides a bibliometric review of 210 studies on personal bankruptcy authored by 496 scholars. Bibliographical data were extracted from the Scopus database and analyzed it using the Bibliometrix-R software. Based on the citation analysis metrics, we revealed the most influential articles, journals, authors, and institutions. Using the network and conceptual structure analysis, we identified three underlying research clusters: (1) student loan default, (2) financial psychology, and (3) personal bankruptcy law; and three emerging research clusters: (1) credit scoring, (2) machine learning, and (3) data mining. The results of our study provide valuable insights to readers, in gleaning a general overview of the research landscape, including the historical evolution, potential collaboration partners, and the future research direction of the personal bankruptcy study. The implications of the study include further exploration of under-researched areas, especially the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and data analytics in managing personal bankruptcy issues. By uncovering trends and emerging technologies (e.g., machine learning and data mining), the study may guide policymakers, financial institutions, and other stakeholders in addressing household financial problems and improving bankruptcy-related processes.
