Abstract

This study examines the human capital drivers and how they contribute to service innovation in Indonesian Islamic banking. A questionnaire is used to gather data from a total of 225 Islamic banking employees, and then partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is applied for data analysis. Moreover, the Maqashid Sharia concept from Abu Zaharah is used to enrich the study findings from an Islamic viewpoint. The findings reveal that human capital drivers comprising leadership strategies, employee engagement, and workforce optimization have both direct and indirect positive effects on service innovation. We believe that our key contribution to the work is providing a service innovation model, where the constructs in the framework employed so far have not been studied comprehensively in the context of Islamic organizations. Furthermore, the developed model integrates more relevant factors to the construction of a strategic human capital management system that can boost service innovation in Islamic banking.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of board attributes on the stability of Islamic banks and whether the presence a standalone risk management committee (SARC) moderates their relation. Applying the feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) regression as well as the two-step system generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for robustness to a panel sample of 43 Islamic banks across 15 countries over eleven years from 2010 to 2020, we document evidence suggesting that board meetings, board gender diversity and foreign directors do not influence the stability of Islamic banks. Conversely, board members holding doctorate degrees (PhDs) significantly and negatively affect the stability of Islamic banks. In addition, the presence of SARC significantly improves the stability of Islamic banks. The study further finds that SARC partially and positively moderates the effects of board members with PhDs and foreign directors on the stability of Islamic banks.

Abstract

This study empirically analyses the role of Islamic financial inclusion in overcoming poverty, income inequality, and human development problems by employing yearly panel data of 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2014 to 2022. The results show that, except Aceh and DKI Jakarta, all provinces in Indonesia have low Islamic Financial Inclusion Index (IFII). Our analysis reveals that Islamic financial inclusion exerts significant roles in poverty reduction and human development improvement, while it is insignificantly related to income inequality. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the effect on human development of financial inclusion is further strengthened. We further note that the effects of Islamic financial inclusion depends on the levels of Human Development Index (HDI), where poverty reduction and human development improvement are apparent only in provinces with high and very high HDI.

Abstract

The paper focuses on the impact of informal economy and Islamic finance development on sustainable development using a panel dataset of 15 Muslim-majority countries from 2016 to 2022. The results based on the feasible GLS and panel quantile regression methods reveal that Islamic finance development has a positive impact on sustainable development. Meanwhile, the informal economy has a negative impact on sustainable development. Assessing the components of Islamic finance development, we further note that only quantitative development/financial performance and knowledge indicators are effective in achieving sustainable development. Besides these key results, GDP per capita, trade openness, and foreign direct investment emerge to be positive factors while the natural resource rents a negative factor in sustainable development. We reason that low productivity and precarious working conditions associated with informal economy may have hindered economic, social, and environmental wellbeing. The positive contribution of the Islamic finance development especially those related to Islamic financial performance and knowledge sharing to sustainable development hints the importance of further development of the Islamic financial sector in these countries.

Abstract

To support the role of digital transaction in improving the growth of economy, the effect of Islamic digital payments on Muslim customer purchase decision on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises’ (MSMEs) products should be augmented. This study employs a modified Technology acceptance Model (TAM) to examine whether perceived values mediate or augment the effect of Islamic digital payments on purchase decisions of MSMEs’ products. Using data gathered from 477 respondents, we find that the perceived values do augment Islamic digital payment effect on Muslim customer purchase decision on MSMEs products. However, their augmentation for the case of cash payments is absent. In other words, Islamic digital payments and perceived values are together the predictors of Muslim customer purchase decision while cash payments are not. We also note that the Islamic digital payments are the predictor of perceived values.

Abstract

This study performs a bibliometric analysis of the literature on ethics in Islamic banking and finance (IBF) in the Scopus database. A total of 366 scholarly articles pertaining to the subject of ethics in IBF are analyzed using VOSviewer, Wordstats, Harzing’s Publish or Perish and Microsoft Excel. The development of the literature on ethics in IBF is outlined in this study, along with a list of the most significant authors, as well as relevant nations, groups, and journal sources. Moreover, the study identifies six major clusters namely, corporate image and customer loyalty of IBF, ethical decision making in IBF, Islamic work ethics, IBF standards and supervisory, ethical products and services of IBF, and maqasid al-shariah and IBF. The findings show an increasing number of citations and documents related to ethics in IBF whereby, the journal of "International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management" makes a substantial contribution to the field of ethics in IBF, both in terms of number of articles published and citation counts. The study offers the opportunity for future research to focus on these topics. Acknowledgment This paper is part of the research funded by the Faculty of Economics and Management, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia under Geran Inisiatif Penyelidikan (EP-2023-016) entitled "The Policy Framework of Ethical Banking for Malaysian Financial Institutions".

Abstract

Indonesia offers significant opportunities for the halal sector thanks to its predominantly Muslim population. However, there is a notable lack of certified halal medicines, which is surprising given the crucial role that medicines play in human life. This study aims to investigate how awareness of halal practises influences Muslim consumers' intention to purchase halal medicines, with a particular focus on the Jabodetabek region. The study is based on a total of 150 respondents and employs a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). From the analysis, it is found that awareness of halal products has a significant influence on the intention to purchase halal medicines. In addition, both subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are identified as significant factors influencing the intention to purchase halal medicines. However, it is worth noting that attitude does not have a statistically significant influence on the intention to purchase halal medicines. This result may be attributed to the limited availability of halal-certified medicines, which influences the attitude of individuals in the decision-making process.

Abstract

The empirical literature on a one-tier board system has recently focused on busy directors, defined as directors holding multiple similar positions in more than one firm simultaneously. In the same spirit, this paper investigates the impact of busy commissioners (instead of busy directors) on firms' performance for the case of Indonesia, a country adopting a two-tier board system. We find that busy commissioners do not impact accounting performance but are negatively associated with market performance. The markets tend to react negatively to the presence of busy commissioners, while actually the firms are also not advantaged financially by their presence. Interestingly, we also find that Shariah-compliant firms tend to have better accounting performance but not with market performance. Our analysis further reveals that the negative impact of busy commissioners on market performance diminishes in non-Shariah-compliant firms. Perhaps, the different characteristics of Shariah-compliant and non-Shariah-compliant companies, wherein Shariah-compliant firms tend to restrict leverage and cash level, account for the results. These findings are robust across various regressions. This research calls on policymakers to enforce the regulation regarding commissioners to reduce its detrimental impact on performance. The regulators should also collaborate with relevant agencies to educate and promote the existence of Shariah-compliant firms in Indonesia. Acknowledgment The authors would like to thank Universitas Sebelas-Maret, Indonesia, for the partial funding for this study.

Abstract

With growing concerns about environmental degradation and its impact on global ecosystems, the Halal food industry is facing increasing scrutiny and pressure to adopt sustainable practices. This research examines the relationship between green sustainability and the financial performance of Halal food companies in Malaysia. Applying a dynamic panel modelling to a sample of 75 companies over 10 years, we document diverse effects of sustainable practices on firms’ financial performance. More specifically, we note that efficient material usage is positively associated with both Return on Assets (ROA) and Tobin's Q (TBQ). Likewise, by reducing costs and enhancing the company's public image, effective emission management boosts both ROA and TBQ. However, energy-related initiatives negatively impact both ROA and TBQ. Biodiversity efforts, although costly in the short term, contribute to improved long-term market valuation. In a similar vein, while its decreases short-term profitability, environmental sustainability positively influences market valuation. Finally, water management initiatives often lead to decreased ROA and TBQ, which possibly is related to their high costs. From the results, policymakers should support efficient material usage and emission management through incentives to enhance profitability and market valuation. Additionally, they should consider providing financial assistance for biodiversity and environmental compliance initiatives while evaluating ways to mitigate the high costs associated with energy and water management to ensure sustainable industry growth. ACKNOWLEDGMENT We extend our sincere gratitude to the Institute of Halal Management, Islamic Business School, University Utara Malaysia, and the Research and Innovation Management Centre (RIMC) for their invaluable support and contribution to our current research. The institutional support from both entities has greatly enriched our study, emphasizing the significance of sustainable practices in the Halal food industry.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately impacted women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia, exposing their vulnerabilities and highlighting the need for effective resilience strategies. This study examines the role of Islamic social finance in enhancing the financial resilience of these businesses during and beyond the pandemic. To achieve this goal, the study explores three key areas i.e., identifying factors shaping the financial resilience of women-owned SMEs in Malaysia during and beyond the pandemic, assessing the effectiveness of Islamic social finance instruments in fostering financial resilience for these businesses, and formulating recommendations for effective policies that strengthen the financial resilience of women-owned SMEs, enabling them to navigate future pandemics more effectively. Using a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method and 330 respondents, we document no significant effects of Islamic social finance instruments on the financial resilience of women-owned SMEs. We argue that this documented insignificance could be due to the ways Islamic Social Finance (ISF) is operationalized. At the same time, contradicting previous research on the ISF women-owned SMEs financial resilience, we also believe that further investigation is needed. ACKNOWLEDGMENT This research is supported by the Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia (MOE) through Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS/1/2021/SS01/UIAM/03/3).
