Abstract

In the face of economic hardships, destitution, ignorance, and inequality, generosity is an invigorating breath of fresh air. Indonesia, where religious observance and familial tradition are the primary determinants of the transmission and stewardship of wealth, has been acclaimed for six consecutive years as the most benevolent nation globally. The objective of this research is to ascertain the factors that influence religiosity and familial traditions of altruistic benevolent in Indonesia. This investigation exploits a quantitative approach by utilizing the simple equation method in conjunction with SmartPLS. This study deployed primary data gathered from questionnaires conducted to individuals residing in numerous cities in Indonesia. Approximately 1.016 respondents from significant ethnic and religious backgrounds participated in the online survey, utilized simple random sampling. The findings of this research demonstrate that altruistic behavior is positively influenced by intrinsic religiosity. The influence of family tradition on giving, whether through institutions or directly, is mediated by altruistic behavior. While compared, the influence of family tradition on altruistic manners is stronger than that of religiosity. This study offers insights for scholars and practitioners on the key elements that motivate Indonesian individuals to engage in extensive charitable activities, both through direct means and philanthropic organizations. Through superfluous participants and unpretentious engagement, this study might be able to draw more acceptable conclusions in future. An exploration of altruistic behavior across different religions and ethnicities will offer suggestions for each group to foster the growth of community-based organizations in their own regions.

As defined by Brundtland (1987), sustainable development is that which seeks to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This requires however, a holistic approach to defining appropriate philosophies and more ethical yet creative solutions vis-a-vis climate change, poverty elimination, countering inequality, preserving earth and striving for prosperity. Educational institutions, and especially those of higher learning, have a major role to play in this domain. This paper sheds light on the share of responsibility taken at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (IZU) towards sustainable development goals and world’s complex challenges, and most importantly, its best practices in the management of UI GreenMetric indicators. This study explores some of IZU's current approaches and strategies adopted in the context of Turkish Waqf based higher learning institutions, and particularly, the ways and means according to which IZU continues to manage core domains of sustainable development and green initiatives whether related to setting and infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste, water, transportation or education, in addition to its various contributions to make to education and training, research and application, disseminating of ethics of green, and strengthening of its broad yet inclusive community engagement and global partnership support and development. This research shows that IZU's investment in sustainability interestingly represents one of its foundational core ethical values disseminated, and that its broad-spectrum practices, strategies, policies and systems of operation and management are underpinned in its very cultural and historical fabric of planetary preservation and stewardship
