Abstract

Public trust is a vital asset for Islamic banking, particularly in an era where consumers are increasingly conscious of ethical and social values. This study aims to examine the impact of ethical communication and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on brand image and consumer trust in Bank Muamalat. Adopting a quantitative explanatory approach, the study utilized the SEM-PLS analysis technique to analyze data collected from Bank Muamalat customers in key urban areas, including Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya. The results indicate that ethical communication has a significant influence on brand image, while CSR directly affects consumer trust. Additionally, brand image serves as a mediating variable in fostering consumer trust. These findings underscore the importance of integrating transparent and ethical communication with CSR practices, especially those that align with the Islamic maqasid shariah principles. By doing so, Islamic financial institutions can strengthen their credibility and establish long-term relationships with consumers. In a highly competitive and information-driven environment, ethical communication and CSR initiatives go beyond mere promotional tactics. They play a crucial role in building customer loyalty, enhancing institutional integrity, and maintaining public trust. For Islamic financial institutions, particularly in the post-truth era, these factors are instrumental in differentiating themselves from competitors and ensuring sustainable growth. This study highlights the strategic value of combining ethical communication with CSR practices that reflect the values of Islamic teachings. The integration of these practices not only enhances the brand image but also fosters greater consumer trust, which is essential for the long-term success of Islamic banking institutions in today’s market. Thus, ethical communication and CSR should be viewed as fundamental components of a holistic strategy aimed at building strong, lasting relationships with customers.

Abstract

This article examines how President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) exercises his power through his presidential communication. It focuses on Jokowi’s statement when he endorses presidential candidates by using simple language, codes, and symbols. The purpose of this study is to decipher the possible meaning within the statement of Jokowi regarding his endorsement of presidential candidates. It also attempts to contextualize it within the larger setting of political public relations by using soft propaganda techniques. This study uses a qualitative case study approach that uses the lens of Benedict Anderson’s concept of power in Javanese culture and Eric Louw’s premise about the hype maker or messenger. Researchers argue that Jokowi's communication, in this case, can be interpreted as a political game where the president tries to show his power by deliberately violating political procedures to remove uncertainty among the political elite. The president’s power may also be seen in his soft propaganda communication, which employs “oversimplification” and “logical fallacies” techniques to stir up public emotion and resonance in the media and political elite. This article offers some critical insights on presidential communication strategy from different perspectives, particularly through the concept of power in the Javanese culture, the president’s role as a hype maker, and how political public relations strategies can be harnessed to modify a political process.

Abstract

President Prabowo Subianto stressed that the concept of opposition originates from Western culture and is not part of Indonesia’s political culture framework, a statement made during his early months as president. To reflect this view, he formed a large cabinet, even appointing a former presidential election rival as a coordinating minister. This observation study re-examines Prabowo’s assertion by analyzing it through Benedict Anderson’s perspective on the concept of Power in Javanese culture, Niccolò Machiavelli’s teachings on political power, and also Pierre Bourdieu's Theory of Capital. The findings reveal that Prabowo’s statement aligns with Anderson’s view, which posits that Power in Javanese culture is absolute, leaving little room for opposition. Similarly, Machiavelli, a prominent Western philosopher, advocates securing power without interference, opposing the concept of opposition to maintain sovereignty. These findings challenge Prabowo’s claim that opposition is solely a Western concept. Furthermore, the authors argue that Prabowo’s political narrative is inseparable from the accumulation of capital he possesses—particularly cultural, social, and symbolic capital—as framed by Pierre Bourdieu’s framework, rather than a genuinely rooted and robust political philosophy. Therefore, we argue that his statement serves as a political public relations strategy to legitimize his expansive cabinet and consolidate power.
