Abstract

The cosmetics and personal care industry has emerged as one of the most prominent and fastest-growing markets, especially among millennials worldwide. The halal cosmetics industry is also important to today's young generation. They and social media technology have become an important part of consumer research. This study explores the factors determining the millennial generation's choice of halal cosmetics. This study used the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) method with 202 millennial respondents from Indonesia and Malaysia. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test result is 0.723%, indicating a middling sampling. The Bartlett test result shows a value of 1848,828 with a significance level of 0.0000 < 0.05, indicating a correlation between the variables. There are no statements with a score of less than 0.5 after the communalities checking. As a result, every statement can be used more thoroughly in this research. Based on the results, six main factors can increase the millennial generation's interest in making choices about halal cosmetics: social media campaign, influencer trustworthiness, halal awareness, brand curiosity in social media, cosmetics advertisement language, and brand trust and product quality.

Abstract

The Islamic fashion model in Indonesia continues to evolve in line with the increasing Muslim population. However, there is limited research on consumer perceptions and the role of religiosity in the context of halal fashion products. This research aims to investigate the influence of fashion uniqueness and consciousness on halal fashion purchase behavior with religiosity as a moderating variable. Halal fashion in this research emphasizes halal product standards in fashion. This research used a quantitative approach through a survey targeting Millennials and Gen Z individuals. A total of 186 respondents were obtained, deemed valid and complete. Additionally, this study used SemPLS-3 to validate hypotheses and evaluate the model. This analysis is considered appropriate as it can test several variable relationships simultaneously or in multivariate analysis. The findings of this study show that halal fashion purchase behavior is influenced by fashion uniqueness and consciousness. Both factors have a positive influence on halal fashion purchase behavior. However, religiosity does not impact halal purchase behavior, nor does it moderate the role of fashion uniqueness and consciousness variables on halal purchase behavior. It suggests that decisions to purchase halal fashion are more influenced by fashion uniqueness and awareness of its halal status rather than individual religiosity levels. This research highlights the need for a deeper understanding of consumer behavior in relation to religiosity and halal fashion, contributing to the fields of economics and social sciences.

Abstract

The development of an industry cannot be realized without the role of stakeholders, and this also applies to the halal industry. This paper aims to examine the determinants of the pentahelix model in developing the halal industry in Indonesia. Qualitative approach by using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) used in this study. Ten respondents, including practitioners, academics, and policymakers, are selected to gather experts' opinions about developing the halal industry through the pentahelix model. The findings of this study show that business actors, who play a major role as producers and providers of halal products and are responsible for meeting halal standards, are the first priority determinant found in the pentahelix. An increase in understanding of halal knowledge, consistent discipline and professionalism, and having product development access of business actors will increase their role in developing the halal industry. The second priority determinant found is media, followed by government, academia, and community. The most prioritized sub-elements of the pentahelix aspect indicators, according to the respondents' agreement, are government support (government element) and knowledge and understanding of halal (business actor element). It indicates that government assistance is a priority due to its significant regulatory role in ensuring simple procedures and compliance with halal standards. In conclusion, the priority rank of determinant of pentahelix found is business actor (first rank), media (second rank), government (third rank), academia (fourth rank), and community (fifth rank). The study suggests that business actors play a crucial role in developing the halal industry, which may be enhanced in terms of their halal literacy and knowledge of halal products. The government's role in halal certification needs to be enhanced in order to ease the halal register for business actors.

Abstract

This research investigates the determinant factors influencing the purchasing decisions of Indonesian students in Taiwan regarding uncertified halal food products. Despite the growing demand for halal products globally, the uncertainty surrounding the halal status of certain food items poses challenges, particularly for Muslim consumers. This study focuses on Indonesian students in Taiwan due to their unique position as international students residing in a country where halal certification may be less prevalent compared to their home country. Data was collected via structured questionnaires distributed among Indonesian students in various universities across Taiwan through a quantitative approach. The study employed multiple regression analysis to examine the relationships between several key variables, including trust, halal awareness, perceived behavioral control, subjective norms, religiousness and attitudes toward purchasing uncertified halal food products. The findings reveal significant insights into the factors influencing purchasing decisions in this context. Trust emerges as a crucial factor, indicating that consumers' confidence in the halal status of products, despite lacking certification, significantly influences their purchasing attitudes. Furthermore, perceived behavioral control plays a significant role, reflecting individuals' perceived ability to access and acquire uncertified halal products. Subjective norms also demonstrate a notable impact, reflecting the influence of social expectations and support from important reference groups. Interestingly, religiousness does not emerge as a significant determinant, suggesting that other factors may overshadow its influence in this context. Trust and perceived behavioral control significantly influence purchasing attitudes and decisions toward uncertified halal food products. In contrast, religiosity and halal awareness have less impact, suggesting the need for further research into additional factors that shape consumer behavior.

Abstract

As the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia has a substantial opportunity to establish itself as a leading halal tourism destination. However, realizing this potential faces challenges related to the provision of halal facilities and the enforcement of government regulations. This research aims to analyze the development of halal tourism in the Sis Aljufri Religious Area based on local wisdom with reference to the Indonesian Ulema Council halal tourism guidelines. This qualitative research uses Miles and Huberman analysis. The study reveals that the development of halal tourism in this area can be categorized into four aspects: products and services, government support, human resources, and infrastructure. While the development of tourist attractions aligns with the general principles of Sharia tourism and guidelines related to tourists and destinations, facilities such as hotels and travel agencies still need to meet the required Sharia-compliant standards. Overall, the development of halal tourism in the Sis Aljufri Religious Area has shown significant progress, particularly in enhancing products and services, securing government support, and improving infrastructure. However, further efforts are needed to ensure full compliance with the Indonesian Ulema Council's guidelines, especially in the areas of Sharia hotels and travel agencies, to realize its full potential.

Abstract

The cosmetics industry consistently requires up-to-date research to develop effective marketing strategies that attract consumers and build their trust. This research aims to analyze how Millennials perceive halal labels and brand image in relation to their purchasing decisions for cosmetics. The study utilized an associative research method with a quantitative approach, employing purposive sampling and a questionnaire as its instrument. Data was processed using structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) analysis. The findings indicate a strong positive correlation between the perception of halal labels and Millennials' purchasing decisions for cosmetics, as halal certification is a crucial factor for this demographic. Additionally, the study found that a positive brand image also significantly influences purchasing decisions, as consumers prefer products that are recognized for their quality, safety, and popularity. The practical implications for the cosmetics industry are evident: understanding the factors that drive purchasing decisions can help companies make the best strategic choices. It is recommended that companies consistently maintain halal certification on their products and focus on building a strong brand image, as both factors play a critical role in influencing consumer decisions.

Abstract

This research's focal points are identifying key factors of halal food standards (HFS) in small-medium industries (SMIs) in Padang and exploring the roles of traceability systems in compliance with the halal assurance system (HAS). The sample size included 105 food SMIs in Padang through a survey using questionnaires. The study employed Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) as a data analysis technique. Results demonstrated that external pressure from government regulations and organizational commitment as part of internal initiatives significantly affected HFS adoption, whereas the latter had a stronger effect. Meanwhile, consumer pressure, industrial competition, marketing function, operational improvement, and suppliers had no significant impact. Results also exhibited that HFS adoption and traceability systems had a significant implication for compliance with HAS. The limitation lies in variables related to halal food standard adoption factors. Accordingly, future researchers have to explore the analyzed phenomenon in various research contexts. In sum, the results afford valuable information that is favorable for industries, allowing them to provide better and safer halal food products for consumers. They also indicate that the halal traceability system enables food SMIs to elevate their business and offers a vast potency for further developing halal industries in Indonesia.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the halal market, driven by increasing Muslim consumer demand, has led to the establishment of halal certification bodies such as Malaysia's Department of Islamic Development (JAKIM) and Brunei's Halal Food Control Division (HFCD) under the Ministry of Religious Affairs (MoRA) to ensure compliance with Islamic dietary laws. However, recent halal integrity issues, including product contamination and certification fraud, have raised concerns about the effectiveness and trustworthiness of these authorities. This study aims to examine Muslim consumer trust in JAKIM and HFCD, exploring the factors influencing their confidence in halal certification processes. This study used a quantitative approach to collect primary data from 300 Muslim individuals in both countries using online surveys. The analysis is conducted using descriptive and factor analysis methods using SPSS V.2. The study revealed that despite high awareness of recent halal issues, Muslim consumers in Malaysia and Brunei maintain significant trust in their respective halal authorities, JAKIM and HFCD. Multiple linear regression analysis confirmed that halal knowledge (β= 0.362), attitude (β= 0.292), and awareness coupled with willingness (β= 0.158) were significant factors influencing consumer trust, while environmental factors were not statistically significant. The high educational background of respondents contributed to a strong understanding of halal integrity, reinforcing confidence in the authorities. Furthermore, media influence and prior exposure to halal food fraud shaped consumer perceptions, leading to increased inspection of halal certification. These findings highlight the critical role of transparency, constricted regulatory enforcement, and continuous engagement in sustaining consumer confidence in halal certification bodies.

Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the factors influencing the purchasing intentions and attitudes of Indonesian Muslim youth toward halal skincare products. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), it integrates both external and internal components, including halal certification, halal literacy, and religiosity. Data were gathered from 233 Muslim adolescents, and the proposed model was evaluated using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze net effect factors, followed by necessary condition analysis (NCA) to identify critical components. The outer loading values of PLS-SEM range from 0.736 to 0.945, indicating that the indicators used have a strong and reliable contribution to the constructs they represent. The research results indicate that the net effect analysis demonstrates that the dimensions of TPB and halal literacy significantly influence the purchase intention of halal skincare products. The NCA results indicate that Attitude (9.4%) and Perceived Behavioral Control (65.3%) play a crucial role in influencing consumers' purchase decisions for halal skincare products, with PBC being the most significant determinant. Halal Certification (16.5%-25.6%) serves as a key prerequisite for fostering a positive attitude, while Subjective Norms (5.8%-45.5%) become more influential once a fully established positive attitude is achieved.

Abstract

The Indonesian government is striving to encourage Muslim entrepreneurs to obtain halal certification for all products produced, imported, and sold within Indonesia. Digital media has emerged as a viable solution to enhance the convenience and practicality of Muslim entrepreneurs in applying for halal certification. This study aims to examine factors that influence Muslim entrepreneurs' halal certification applications through digital media, using the DeLone and McLean and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) models. This quantitative study analyses 350 Indonesian Muslim entrepreneurs using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Researchers obtain data using non-probability sampling approaches. The results of the study indicate that the constructs of performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), and service quality (SEQ) have a positive and significant effect on intention (INT). In addition, the facilitating condition (FC) has a positive influence on INT but is not significant. While the constructs of system quality (SYQ) and information quality (IQ) have a positive and significant effect on user satisfaction (US), the correlation of the two constructs to INT is not significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that PE, EE, and SI are the key driving factors for Muslim entrepreneurs in using digital media to apply for halal certification. According to the results, developing user-friendly features and technology systems is highly recommended. Pre- and post-submission service quality must be improved. Therefore, halal process assistance officers (PPH) are proposed to support Indonesian Muslim entrepreneurs.
