Abstract

This study aims to identify and analyze the key factors that influence customer preferences and loyalty toward Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in North Sulawesi. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 52 active BSI customers across three cities: Manado, Bitung, and Kotamobagu, with respondents aged between 20 and 35 years. The research instrument underwent validity and reliability testing, yielding a Cronbach’s Alpha score of 0.969, indicating excellent internal consistency. The analysis revealed that internal bank factors, particularly the quality of employee service, including friendliness and professionalism, are the most dominant contributors to customer loyalty. External factors, such as recommendations from close associates, also play a significant role. In contrast, location and technological infrastructure, such as ATM availability, scored the lowest, suggesting areas that require improvement. The study highlights that human interaction and excellent service delivery are more decisive in fostering loyalty than physical infrastructure or rational considerations. These findings offer strategic insights for enhancing BSI services, particularly in regions with predominantly non-Muslim demographics. Practical implications include continued frontliner training, expansion of digital infrastructure and branch locations, and reinforcement of community-based marketing strategies. The study also recommends future research to explore the impact of digitalization on customer loyalty through a longitudinal approach.

Abstract

In response to escalating divorce rates in Indonesia, particularly within its Religious Courts, this study explores the limitations of current mediation practices. It proposes local wisdom-based mediation as an alternative approach. Traditional mediation within these courts often fails to prevent divorces effectively, prompting the need for innovative solutions that integrate cultural insights. This research aims to assess the effectiveness of mediation processes within Indonesia's Religious Courts and investigate the potential role of religious leaders in improving mediation outcomes. Specifically, it highlights how local wisdom can be leveraged to mitigate divorce rates by fostering reconciliation and resolving disputes outside formal legal procedures. Using an empirical approach, researchers collected data by interviewing 50 informants, namely judges, religious leaders, and the government, related to the increasing divorce rate. The findings that can be presented are that religious figures, as locals, can reconcile divorced parties without the need to go to religious courts. The Religious Court is seen as a formal facility to certify the divorce of both parties, but has yet to be able to prevent divorce optimally. That is, the high divorce rate in religious courts requires the involvement of religious leaders in reconciling parties who want to divorce. This study accepts the potential for integrating local wisdom in mediating to reduce divorce rates. With an emphasis on cultural sensitivity and community involvement, this approach aims to go beyond the limitations of conventional legal frameworks and promote more meaningful outcomes in resolving marital conflict.
