Abstract

This study examines salary differences between the public and private sectors in Indonesia from the perspective of employees. Using a qualitative approach, interviews were conducted with 10 informants representing diverse industries and roles. Findings reveal significant contrasts between the sectors: public sector employees prioritize job security, stability, and comprehensive benefits, while private sector employees value higher salaries, performance-based rewards, and career growth opportunities. Despite these differences, both groups emphasize the importance of fairness and transparency in compensation systems. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and employers to develop equitable and competitive remuneration strategies that address employees’ priorities and support organizational goals.

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force in business development, driving innovation, strategic decision-making, and digital transformation. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis using Scopus data and VOSviewer to map the research landscape on AI applications in business. The analysis reveals that AI is closely linked to innovation, big data, machine learning, sustainability, and competition, highlighting its broad impact across industries. The co-authorship and country collaboration networks indicate that research is concentrated in technologically advanced regions, with limited representation from developing economies, suggesting the need for more inclusive global research efforts. The findings also identify a fragmented research landscape, where multiple disciplines study AI’s role in business from diverse perspectives, reinforcing the need for greater interdisciplinary collaboration. Future research should focus on bridging regional gaps, exploring AI’s long-term effects on business sustainability, and integrating ethical considerations into AI-driven strategies. This study provides valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and business leaders, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of how AI is shaping modern business practices.

Abstract

This study examines the implications of VAT increases and global price volatility on middle-class consumption behavior and the urban inflation rate in West Java. Using a quantitative approach, data from 200 respondents were analyzed via Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that VAT increases significantly influence both middle-class consumption patterns and urban inflation, with stronger effects compared to global price volatility. VAT adjustments impact household spending priorities and contribute to inflationary pressures in urban areas, while global price fluctuations moderately affect consumption behavior and inflation through external market dependencies. These findings underscore the need for balanced fiscal policies and strategies to manage external economic shocks to ensure urban economic stability and resilience.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of digital literacy, entrepreneurial orientation, and access to financing on business innovation and competitive advantage among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 180 MSME owners and managers through a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale. Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that digital literacy, entrepreneurial orientation, and access to financing significantly enhance business innovation, which in turn positively affects competitive advantage. Moreover, business innovation partially mediates the relationship between the independent variables and competitive advantage, highlighting its critical role as a mechanism linking resources and capabilities to firm performance. The findings underscore the importance of developing digital skills, fostering entrepreneurial behavior, and improving financial accessibility to strengthen the innovation capacity and competitiveness of Indonesian MSMEs.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of zakat transparency and government support on community trust and poverty alleviation in West Java. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a Likert scale (1-5). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results reveal that both zakat transparency and government support positively influence community trust, which acts as a mediator between zakat transparency, government support, and poverty alleviation. The findings indicate that when zakat institutions are transparent and the government provides adequate support, community trust is fostered, leading to more effective poverty alleviation efforts. This study underscores the importance of transparency and government involvement in poverty reduction programs, offering valuable implications for policymakers and zakat institutions.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance on the productivity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using data from 140 MSMEs, the research employs Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3) to analyze the relationships between these factors. The results show that all three variables—Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance—positively influence MSME productivity. Specifically, Environmental Credit Innovation, Government Regulation, and Green Microfinance significantly contribute to improving MSME performance. The model explains 71.3% of the variance in MSME productivity, indicating substantial explanatory power. Additionally, the predictive relevance of the model highlights its practical utility for policy recommendations. The findings suggest that fostering environmentally responsible practices, simplifying regulatory processes, and expanding access to green finance are key drivers for boosting MSME productivity in the region.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Fatwas issued by the National Sharia Council-Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) as a foundational regulatory framework for Islamic finance in Indonesia. Through a literature review analysis, the research explores the role of these Fatwas in shaping Sharia-compliant financial practices, their integration into regulatory frameworks, and the challenges associated with their application. Key findings highlight the dual role of DSN-MUI Fatwas as theological and regulatory tools, their contribution to ensuring Sharia compliance, and the need for standardized enforcement mechanisms. Drawing lessons from global practices, this study emphasizes the importance of institutional capacity and collaboration in enhancing the effectiveness of DSN-MUI Fatwas. These insights provide a valuable roadmap for advancing Islamic finance in Indonesia, fostering alignment between religious principles and regulatory frameworks.

Abstract

ESG integration is emerging as a game-changing influence on the world's financial systems with wide-ranging consequences for the Islamic finance industry. This research, therefore, has been designed to reach an objective that presents compatibility, challenges, and opportunities concerning ESG adoption in Islamic finance through a systematic review of 22 peer-reviewed manuscripts indexed in the Scopus database. The findings identify a good coincidence between ESG best practices and Sharia principles, as both witness vital echoes on ethical behavior, social development, and sustainability. Good harmony has been noted, though regulatory disparity, weak frameworks, and lack of awareness stand in the way. Green sukuk and international collaboration are promising pathways for the arising ESG issues. This would provide actionable insights for policymakers and financial institutions so that sustainability and ethical value creation can be encouraged at large, while positioning Islamic finance as a world leader in sustainable finance.
