Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to analyze the effect of CEO power, independent board of commissioners, capital structure, and firm size on Islamic social reporting disclosure, as well as to explore the role of profitability as a moderating variable. Method - Using the random effect model and data analysis with EViews 12, the research sample includes Islamic banks in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei Darussalam during the period from 2018 to 2023, with a population of 20. Result - CEO power has no significant effect on isr disclosure, while the independent board of commissioners and firm size have a significant positive effect. Capital structure shows a positive but insignificant effect, with profitability moderating the relationship between capital structure and firm size on isr disclosure. Implication - Good corporate governance and management commitment are essential for enhancing ISR disclosure, which is key to maintaining the reputation and transparency of Islamic banks in ASEAN. Originality - This study is the first to examine Islamic social reporting disclosure by integrating corporate governance factors and profitability across three ASEAN countries.

Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to examine the influence of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) characteristics on intellectual capital efficiency in Islamic banks in Indonesia. Method - This study employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis. The population consists of Islamic banks in Indonesia, with the sample selected using a purposive sampling technique based on specific criteria. The final dataset comprises 63 observations from 10 Islamic banks over the period 2017–2023. Result - The findings reveal that SSB size, education level and meeting frequency do not significantly affect intellectual capital efficiency. However, SSB cross-membership positively influence intellectual capital efficiency. These results highlight the importance of external expertise and board activity in enhancing intellectual capital in Islamic banks. Implication - The study provides practical implications for regulators and Islamic bank managers in optimizing SSB governance structures to improve intellectual capital efficiency. Enhancing SSB effectiveness through cross-membership may contribute to better knowledge-sharing and decision-making processes, ultimately improving bank performance. Originality - To the best of our knowledge, there is still limited research that examines the direct impact of various SSB characteristics on intellectual capital efficiency in Islamic banks, particularly within the Indonesian context. This study therefore contributes to filling this gap in the literature by providing new evidence from an emerging Islamic banking market.
