The development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) has faced significant setbacks, particularly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigates the role of productive zakat in enhancing the resilience of MSMEs through a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected via interviews with 24 MSME actors and 3 productive zakat managers. The findings indicate that productive zakat contributes meaningfully to MSME resilience. Furthermore, the study highlights the relevance of human capital theory in business development, emphasizing the importance of skill enhancement and evaluation among MSME actors. The implications of this research support the ongoing resilience of MSMEs in the post-pandemic context and provide valuable insights for policymakers regarding productive zakat.

Abstract

This study explores the meaning of financial transparency within the church services of the Perindingan Congregation, Klasis Sillanan, Toraja Church. Using a phenomenological approach, this research seeks to uncover the lived experiences, perceptions, and interpretations of church council members regarding the practice of financial management and reporting. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to capture the essence of transparency as experienced in daily church activities. The findings reveal that financial transparency is not merely understood as accountability in managing church funds but also as a reflection of spiritual integrity, collective trust, and social harmony within the congregation. The study highlights that transparent financial practices strengthen the congregation’s faith in leadership, foster participation, and sustain the moral foundation of church governance. This research contributes to the broader understanding of how ethical and spiritual values shape financial accountability in faith-based institutions.

Abstract

This study reviews how deposit insurance interacts with the operations, behavior, and stability of microfinance institutions (MFIs). Methods: A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted using PRISMA-guided screening. Searches were run in five academic databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, SpringerLink, Taylor & Francis Online, and ScienceDirect) using the string “deposit insurance” AND “microfinance,” producing 625 records. After removing duplicates and applying title/abstract and full-text screening, three studies met the final inclusion criteria and were synthesized. Results: The evidence shows three main patterns: (1) deposit guarantees can increase moral hazard in MFIs with weak governance (as seen in Indonesia’s rural banks), (2) depositor trust, often shaped by perceived safety, can reduce deposit volatility and panic withdrawals (as shown in Gabon), and (3) deposit insurance may shift higher-risk borrowers away from insured banks toward MFIs, changing where risk concentrates in the financial system. Implications: Deposit insurance policy should consider MFIs, not only commercial banks. If protection is extended to MFIs (fully or partly), it should be paired with stronger governance requirements, better supervision, and risk-based pricing to reduce moral hazard while supporting depositor confidence and financial inclusion

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of operating cash flow, financing cash flow, and debt level on stock returns, with company size as a moderating variable. The approach used is quantitative with a causal research design. The research data consists of secondary data sourced from annual financial reports and closing stock prices of transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2022–2024. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling, resulting in 60 observations. The data analysis techniques applied include multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that, partially, operating cash flow, financing cash flow, and debt level do not have a significant effect on stock returns, although simultaneously, these three variables form a significant model. The moderation analysis shows that company size moderates the relationship between operating cash flow and stock returns in a negative direction, while no moderating effect was found for cash flow from financing activities and debt levels. These findings indicate that investors tend to pay more attention to company characteristics and general market perceptions than to short-term financial information when assessing potential stock returns

Abstract

The rapid growth of the fast-food restaurant industry in Indonesia demands effective strategies to maintain consumer loyalty, especially in the face of intense competition and shifting consumer preferences. This study aims to analyze the effect of Brand Awareness and Service Quality on Repurchase Intention with Customer Satisfaction as a mediating variable, focusing on McDonald's consumers in Semarang. Data were collected through a survey of 100 respondents using a purposive sampling technique. Respondents were McDonald's customers who had made at least two purchases in the last three months. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The findings show that Brand Awareness has a significant positive effect on Customer Satisfaction (β = 0.386; p = 0.000) but does not directly affect Repurchase Intention (β = 0.093; p = 0.425). Meanwhile, Service Quality significantly influences both Customer Satisfaction (β = 0.429; p = 0.000) and Repurchase Intention (β = 0.140; p = 0.017). Furthermore, Customer Satisfaction itself significantly drives Repurchase Intention (β = 0.307; p = 0.000) and acts as an effective mediator for the influence of both Brand Awareness and Service Quality on Repurchase Intention. This study highlights the key role of Customer Satisfaction as a bridge that connects consumer perceptions of brand and service with repeated purchasing decisions. The results are expected to provide practical input for McDonald's management to strengthen loyalty strategies through service quality improvements and brand reputation management

The results showed that halal certification (β = 0.342, p = 0.016) and BPOM permit (β = 0.439, p = 0.000) had a significant positive effect partially and simultaneously (F = 24.418, p = 0.000), with R² = 33.5%. The conclusion states that both factors shape consumer trust, it is recommended to highlight labels on packaging for marketing strategies.

Abstract

This study examines the rapidly growing Indonesian bottled water industry driven by health awareness and urbanization, where brands like Ades face intense competition that demands strong Brand Image and product innovation. The objective is to analyze their influence on Semarang consumers' purchasing decisions with customer satisfaction as an intervening factor, using a quantitative survey method on an infinite population via incidental sampling (119 respondents), a 5-point Likert scale online questionnaire, and PLS-SEM analysis in SmartPLS 4. The results show that Brand Image (path coefficient 0.486, p<0.05) and product innovation (0.386, p<0.05) have a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction and purchase decisions directly, while customer satisfaction has a weak direct effect (0.139, p=0.041); mediation is not significant (p>0.05), with the model explaining 78.7% of the variance. In conclusion, direct perceptions of Brand Image and innovation are the main drivers of purchasing everyday products like Ades, exceeding the mediating role of satisfaction.
