Abstract

Purpose – This study analyzes how zakat literacy and awareness affect compliance with zakat payments among Islamic students. Zakat literacy involves understanding zakat’s concept, types, calculation, and distribution, while awareness includes recognizing zakat’s importance as a religious and socioeconomic duty.Methodology – This study employed a quantitative approach using primary data collected from second- and fourth-semester students at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar through purposive sampling and questionnaires distributed to 116 individuals via WhatsApp groups. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS Version 26, chosen for its comprehensive statistical tools and user-friendly interface. Findings – Data analysis revealed that both zakat literacy and awareness had a positive and significant effect on compliance with paying zakat. Students with higher levels of zakat literacy and deeper awareness of the benefits of zakat are more motivated and consistent in paying zakat, according to Sharia provisions.Implications – This study highlights the importance of zakat education and counseling in universities to enhance literacy and awareness, which can ultimately increase compliance with paying zakat. This increase in compliance supports the achievement of Zakat’s social and economic goals in reducing poverty and social inequality.Originality – This study makes a unique contribution by focusing on the role of zakat literacy and awareness among students, a topic that has been underexplored. These findings can inform the development of more effective zakat education programs at the university level.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the intention of the young Muslim generation in paying infaq using online platforms. Methodology – The respondents in this study were 320 young Muslims who had previously made infaq payments through online platforms. The research framework applied was an extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model to predict the intention to use new technology. Structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques to assess the validity, reliability, and relationships between various latent variables.Findings – The results of the data analysis show that performance expectations, social influence, infaq literacy, and habits have a significant influence on the intention to pay infaq through online platforms. In addition, habits and intention to pay donations online also influence usage behavior in paying donations via online platforms. Implications – Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Amil Zakat Infaq and Sedekah Agency (BAZNAS) collaborate with profit-oriented and non-profit social organizations in Indonesia. This collaboration is expected to improve online infaq services and expand the reach of community participation, in line with the increasing intention in and habit of using online platforms to pay infaq.Originality – This study uniquely focuses on the young Muslim generation's behavior in using online platforms for infaq, an area not extensively explored in previous research. By employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), it offers a comprehensive analysis of both direct and indirect effects, providing actionable insights for enhancing online donation platforms.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines how financial attitude, behavior, knowledge, literacy, financial socialization, and subjective norms influence individuals’ intention to invest in gold across Generations X, Y, and Z. Grounded in Islamic Management principles, it positions gold as a Shariah-compliant asset aligned with ethical wealth creation and prudent risk management. This study contributes to Islamic wealth management by exploring how intergenerational dynamics shape ethical investment behavior.Methodology – A quantitative approach was employed using a structured questionnaire distributed to 360 respondents from three generations in Malaysia, with most participants being residents of Indonesia. The data collected were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM)Findings – The results indicated that the measurement model met the recommended reliability and validity standards. Financial attitude, behavior, and knowledge positively enhance financial literacy, which, along with financial attitudes, financial knowledge, financial socialization, and subjective norms, significantly shape gold investment intention. Generational differences were evident: Gen Z’s intention was strongly driven by financial knowledge and social expectations; Gen Y was influenced mainly by financial attitude; and Gen X relied more on financial socialization and subjective norms. The overall model demonstrated strong predictive and explanatory power.Implications – This study emphasizes the mediating role of financial literacy and identifies the distinct generational drivers of investment intention. Insights support targeted financial education and tailored strategies to engage each generation, including policy initiatives promoting inclusive gold-based financial instruments.Originality – This study offers a generationally segmented perspective on the determinants of investment intention, underscoring diverse financial decision-making processes and providing practical guidance for policymakers, educators, and the investment industry.

Abstract

Purpose – This study explores how service quality and Sharia governance directly influence customer loyalty in Islamic banking. It moves beyond procedural interpretations of Sharia compliance by examining how operational performance and institutional religiosity jointly shape long-term customer commitments.Methodology – An explanatory sequential mixed-method design was employed. In the quantitative phase, data were collected from 213 customers of the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Jambi Province, Indonesia. The sample was selected using cluster random sampling, in which two of the three existing BSI branches were randomly chosen, and all customers from the selected branches participated as respondents. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The qualitative phase followed an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) involving in-depth interviews with four long-term loyal customers to uncover the emotional, spiritual, and value-based dimensions underpinning their loyalty.Findings – Both service quality and Sharia governance significantly and directly affect customer loyalty, with Sharia governance exerting a stronger influence. The qualitative findings revealed four key loyalty-building patterns: spiritualized service experience, trust in Sharia supervisory structures, emotional connection with Islamic digital platforms, and personalized service grounded in ethics.Implications – For Islamic banks, fostering loyalty requires more than efficient service delivery and demands visible Sharia credibility and alignment with customers’ religious values and expectations.Originality – Departing from previous studies that examined operational or governance factors in isolation, this study integrates service quality and Sharia governance as parallel, mutually reinforcing drivers of customer loyalty. The developed loyalty framework captures the multidimensional interplay between faith, ethical congruence, and service experience in Muslim-majority banking context.

Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to analyze the effect of Islamic leadership on employee performance by integrating Islamic work motivation, work environment, and work-life balance (WLB) as mediating and contextual factors, while also examining gender differences through Multi-Group Analysis (MGA).Methodology – This study employs a quantitative approach with survey data collected from 80 employees working in Islamic banking and financial institutions and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).Findings – The findings indicate that Islamic work motivation significantly enhances employee performance, both directly and indirectly, through WLB. In contrast, Islamic leadership and the work environment do not have a direct significant effect on employee performance, highlighting the need for more consistent application of Islamic leadership values. The MGA results reveal no significant gender difference in the influence of Islamic leadership on employee performance but show that women face greater challenges in achieving WLB, reflecting their dual roles in professional and personal spheres.Implications – The findings imply that organizations should strengthen the implementation of Islamic leadership values consistently, promote Islamic work motivation, and design inclusive policies that address gender-specific challenges in achieving work-life balance. Originality – This study offers originality by explicitly integrating gender dynamics into an Islamic leadership framework. Unlike previous studies that focus mainly on the general aspects of Islamic leadership, this research highlights how gender differences, particularly women’s dual roles, shape the relationship between Islamic leadership, work-life balance, and employee performance.

Abstract

Purpose – This study analyzes the influence of animosity and religiosity on brand switching among Pizza Hut consumers in Indonesia, with boycott intention as a mediating variable. It seeks to understand how negative sentiments and religious values shape consumers’ decisions to switch brands in the context of geopolitical and social conflicts.Methodology – A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a survey distributed to 190 Pizza Hut consumers in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) via SmartPLS 4.0 to test the direct and indirect effects among variables.Findings – The results confirmed that both animosity (β = 0.174, p < 0.05) and religiosity (β = 0.240, p < 0.05) significantly influenced brand switching. Boycott intention also mediated these relationships, with animosity (β = 0.126, p < 0.05) and religiosity (β = 0.149, p < 0.05) exerting indirect effects. Additionally, boycott intention directly affects brand switching (β = 0.402, p < 0.05).Implications – Practically, Pizza Hut must address consumer animosity rooted in political conflict and align marketing strategies with religious values to retain customers. Theoretically, this study enriches the literature on ethical consumption by integrating social, political, and religious factors into emerging markets.Originality – This study is among the first to explore the combined effects of animosity and religiosity on brand switching in Indonesia, particularly within the fast-food industry. It highlights boycott intention as a critical mediator, offering novel insights into consumer behavior amid sociopolitical tensions.

Abstract

Purpose – Zakat institutions (ZIs) face managerial inefficiencies to the extreme seasonality of zakat fitr collection, which restricts distribution to short-term consumptive aid. This study analyzes LAZISMU's "year-round zakat fitr" program implementation at LAZISMU Ponorogo, East Java, as a fiqh-management innovation designed to address this operational challenge by harmonizing Sharia compliance with financial sustainability.Methodology – A qualitative, single-case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with LAZISMU management and Sharia experts, supplemented by analyses of institutional documents and fiqh rulings. An interactive qualitative model was used to examine the legal foundations and managerial implications of the program.Findings – This study finds that Sharia compliance is achieved through the wakalah contract rather than ta'jil (early payment). This legal framework allows for the temporal separation of fund collection from disbursements. Consequently, the institution successfully transforms its cash flow into a stable, continuous flow from a volatile seasonal lump sum, thereby resolving critical operational bottlenecks.Implications – The fiqh-management model enhances strategic planning and operational efficiency. By stabilizing cash flow, ZIs can shift their distribution strategy from purely reactive and consumptive to proactive, enabling the integration of zakat fitr funds into long-term productive empowerment programs without violating Sharia constraints.Originality – Unlike previous studies that predominantly focus on the distributional aspects of wakalah, this study offers a novel analysis of the wakalah contract as a strategic cash flow-smoothing tool in the zakat administration. It bridges classical Islamic jurisprudence with modern corporate finance theory and provides a replicable model for Islamic social finance institutions to overcome operational seasonality.
