Abstract

Technological advancements have significantly transformed workplace environments across various industries, including those operating within Islamic frameworks. The integration of digital tools, automation, and artificial intelligence (AI) in Islamic workplaces has reshaped organizational structures, work ethics, and employee interactions, raising questions about the compatibility of technology with Islamic business principles. Balancing efficiency, ethical considerations, and adherence to Islamic values presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations seeking to maintain Islamic ethical integrity in a rapidly evolving digital era. This study aims to examine the impact of technology on productivity, ethical work practices, and employee engagement in Islamic workplaces. A mixed-methods approach is employed, combining surveys distributed to employees in Islamic organizations and in-depth interviews with business leaders and Islamic scholars. Quantitative data measures changes in productivity and employee satisfaction, while qualitative data explores perceptions of ethical dilemmas, technological dependence, and alignment with Islamic work ethics. Findings indicate that while technology enhances operational efficiency and flexibility, concerns arise regarding digital distractions, ethical challenges in automation, and the erosion of traditional interpersonal workplace values. The study concludes that technology must be strategically implemented to support productivity without compromising Islamic ethical principles.

Abstract

The healthcare sector faces increasing pressure to improve efficiency in patient management due to rising demands for services and limited nursing resources. The integration of wearable devices in healthcare offers a promising solution to enhance nursing efficiency by providing real-time monitoring and data collection. This study aims to explore the impact of wearable devices on nursing efficiency, particularly in the management of patients with chronic conditions. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative analysis of patient outcomes and qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals using wearable technology in clinical settings. The results show that the use of wearable devices led to a 20% reduction in nurse workload, as real-time monitoring allowed for early detection of health issues, reducing the need for frequent in-person checks. Additionally, patient satisfaction increased by 15% due to the continuous monitoring and prompt intervention facilitated by wearable devices. The study concludes that wearable devices can significantly enhance nursing efficiency and improve patient outcomes, particularly in chronic disease management. The integration of these devices into healthcare systems has the potential to alleviate nursing shortages, improve patient care, and optimize resource allocation. However, challenges such as data security and device integration must be addressed for widespread adoption.

Abstract

Zakat, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a mandatory form of almsgiving aimed at redistributing wealth and promoting economic justice. In Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, zakat has the potential to significantly impact income distribution and reduce poverty. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by inefficiencies in collection, distribution, and utilization. This study examines the impact of zakat on income distribution in Indonesia, focusing on its role in reducing economic inequality and promoting social welfare. The research aims to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with zakat management and propose strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. Using a mixed-methods approach, this study combines quantitative analysis of income distribution data with qualitative interviews with zakat institutions, beneficiaries, and policymakers. Data were analyzed to assess the impact of zakat on poverty alleviation, income inequality, and economic empowerment. The findings reveal that zakat has a modest but positive impact on income distribution, particularly in rural areas. However, inefficiencies in collection and distribution, as well as a lack of transparency, limit its potential to achieve broader economic justice. The study concludes that improving zakat management through better governance, transparency, and targeted distribution strategies is essential for maximizing its impact on income distribution. This research contributes to the discourse on Islamic economics by providing practical recommendations for enhancing the role of zakat in promoting economic justice and social welfare in Indonesia.

Abstract

Workplace resilience and personal development are critical factors influencing employee well-being and organizational success. Modern workplaces present numerous challenges, including high stress levels and rapid changes, necessitating effective strategies to enhance resilience and promote personal growth. Intervention programs have emerged as a promising approach to address these challenges, yet their impact on employee well-being requires further empirical investigation. This study examines the effect of workplace intervention programs on employee resilience, personal development, and overall well-being. A mixed-methods design was employed, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study involved 150 employees from diverse industries, divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in a 10-week program that included resilience training, mindfulness practices, and goal-setting workshops. Data were collected through standardized well-being assessments, resilience scales, and semi-structured interviews. The findings revealed significant improvements in resilience scores and well-being indicators among the intervention group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). Participants reported enhanced emotional regulation, stress management, and self-efficacy. Qualitative insights highlighted increased motivation and a stronger sense of purpose as key outcomes of the program.
