Abstract

The rapid growth of the digital gig economy has given rise to a new and controversial profession: Binary Option platform affiliates, who frequently employ the "flexing" marketing strategy (excessive displays of wealth) to attract customers. This phenomenon has become a serious problem in Human Resource Management (HRM) due to the use of psychological manipulation and dishonest information in the recruitment process for new users or partners. This activity often traps customers in a speculative and illegal system, substantially resembling online gambling. This study aims to analyze the morality of flexing-based recruitment strategies through the lens of HRM ethics and interfaith perspectives, particularly Islam and Christianity, to examine the social and spiritual impacts of this digital economic malpractice. This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive and comparative approach between positive law and religious norms in Indonesia and Singapore. The analysis examines affiliate marketing practices and religious texts relevant to the ethics of earning a living and honesty. Flexing is an unethical recruitment strategy because it violates the principles of transparency and professional integrity, where commissions are derived from the losses of others (loss-sharing). This practice is identified as a form of Riya (showing off) and support for Maysir (gambling) and Gharar (uncertainty/fraud), which are strictly prohibited in Islamic economic law because they harm others for personal gain. From a Christian perspective, this strategy contradicts the principle of honesty towards others and the warning about the "Love of Money" as the root of evil, and ignores the value of humility and moral responsibility in managing God's blessings. The difference in policy in Indonesia, which prohibits Binary Options as gambling, compared to Singapore, which strictly regulates it, shows how religious morality values ​​influence public policy. The study concludes that flexing in the digital gig economy is not just a social trend, but a crisis of recruitment morality. The integration of Islamic and Christian values ​​can provide a strong ethical foundation to strengthen digital HR regulations and protect society from fraud-based economic exploitation.

Abstract

The legal protection of victims of crime requires serious attention, as the victims frequently refuse to respect their human rights. In the criminal justice system in Idonesia the rights of victims of criminal acts are not widely accommodated, as the normative provision in the Act only states that the victim of a serious offence can obtain compensation from the state. With regard to criminal acts, it should be recognised that not all perpetrators can pay damages or compensation. So in this case, the state must play a role in restoring the condition of victims of crime, which can undermine the dignity and dignity of the victims

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the representation of Banyumas local wisdom values ​​as reflected in the Kembang Glepang anthology. Researchers interpreted data related to the value of local wisdom in the literary works of Banyumas writers in the Kembang Glepang anthology. The data in the research were obtained from interviews, observations and interpretations of the literary works of Banyumas writers in the anthology Kembang Glepang. The focus of this research is on the book Kembang Glepang which was used by the Culture and Tourism Service as an effort to explore literacy in Banyumas. Representations of Banyumas local wisdom values ​​as reflected in the Kembang Glepang anthology appear in art, language and discourse. In Banyumas, traditional art reflects local wisdom in various aspects, from themes, styles, to the techniques used. Art plays a crucial role in preserving local wisdom amidst the currents of globalization and modernization. Then what is more important is the linguistic aspect. The Kembang Glepang anthology contains various aspects of linguistic locality which make this anthological work unique. This linguistic aspect is concluded in the use of Banyumasan terms and proverbs in the various literary works published, the existence of local legends that inspired the birth of folklore, the use of certain ritual language in literary works, the existence of place names and people's names that symbolize Banyumasan, and the use of dialects. as well as language variations in narrative, dialogue, or in the poetry of the Kembang Glepang anthology. For the people of Banyumas, the ngapak dialect is not just a means of communication, but also a symbol of cultural identity.

Abstract

This study critically examines how organizational identity, meritocratic evaluation, and commercialization intersect to reproduce professional inequality within the Nigerian accounting profession. Employing a qualitative research design, it draws on document analysis and in-depth interviews with accounting professionals across diverse firms. Thematic analysis identifies four interrelated mechanisms. First, a dominant discourse of neutrality and technical objectivity obscures underlying power relations within the profession. Second, merit-based evaluation systems privilege elite educational credentials and embedded social capital, thereby reinforcing stratified access to career advancement. Third, intensifying commercialization pressures prioritize revenue generation and client acquisition, reshaping professional norms and performance expectations. Fourth, discursive strategies are mobilized to legitimize and normalize exclusionary outcomes. The findings demonstrate that organizational identity functions not merely as a symbolic construct but as a material and institutional mechanism structuring access to opportunities, recognition, and rewards. While meritocracy and market-oriented logics are framed as neutral and efficiency-driven, they operate in practice as instruments that reproduce structural inequalities. This study contributes to critical debates on professional stratification and institutional power, and calls for targeted interventions by policymakers and professional bodies to balance market imperatives with inclusion, thereby fostering more equitable career progression.

Abstract

The digital revolution has completely changed how we transact, making standard-form contracts like "terms and conditions" a common part of our lives. This article examines a crucial question: is the 'one-click' consent we give truly based on genuine willingness ('an tarāḍin), considering that users are in a much weaker position and often lack complete information? Recognizing that rigid, traditional Islamic legal (fiqh) perspectives are insufficient to address this challenge, this research employs two new approaches. First, it uses Abdullah Saeed's theory to look beyond mere written rules to uncover the substantive justice that is the core objective of Sharia (maqāṣid al-sharī'ah). Second, Jürgen Habermas's theory is applied to deconstruct how digital contracts often operate unilaterally, leaving no room for fair dialogue. Drawing on a case study of several Sharia-based digital applications in Indonesia, this article argues that consent in the digital age is no longer merely about the absence of physical coercion. More importantly, true willingness demands real justice and an agreement process that is transparent, equal, and free from domination by any party. In conclusion, this article offers concrete recommendations for digital platforms, regulators, and fatwa institutions on how to design contracts that are more ethical, fair, and truly in line with the spirit of Sharia.

Abstract

This article examines the reform of the minimum marriage age in Indonesia through Muhammad Syahrur’s ḥudūd theory and its implications for contemporary Islamic legal epistemology. While previous studies have largely discussed Law No. 16 of 2019 from the perspectives of gender equality, child protection, and positive law, limited attention has been given to how this reform may be theoretically justified within a dynamic framework of Islamic legal reasoning. Using normative legal research, this study combines statutory, conceptual, and Islamic legal-theoretical approaches. It compares Law No. 1 of 1974 and Law No. 16 of 2019 and interprets the reform through Syahrur’s theory of limits, supported by relevant legal materials and scholarly literature. The study finds that raising and equalizing the minimum marriage age reflects not merely a legislative response to social problems, but also an epistemological shift in Islamic family law from rigid textualism toward contextual legal construction. Within Syahrur’s framework, the state’s determination of marriage age represents human ijtihād operating within divine boundaries, where legal norms may be adjusted to protect welfare, maturity, equality, and social justice. The article argues that the reform embodies an adaptive model of Islamic legal development that reconciles scriptural normativity with changing social realities. It contributes to debates on Islamic family law reform by showing that Syahrur’s ḥudūd theory offers a productive framework for legitimizing legal transformation without detaching Islamic law from its normative foundations.

Abstract

This study analyzes the legal protection of copyright for illustrations under Law Number 28 of 2014 concerning Copyright and Examines the Implications of Supreme Court Decision Number 988 K/Pdt.Sus-HKI/2021 on legal certainty in Indonesia. Illustrations, as works of fine art, are protected automatically once embodied in a tangible form and include both moral and economic rights of the creator. This research employs a normative juridical method, drawing on statutory and case law. Primary legal materials consist of copyright legislation and relevant court decisions, while secondary materials include legal literature, journals, and doctrines related to intellectual property law. The analysis is conducted qualitatively by interpreting legal norms and considering judicial considerations. The results show that Indonesian Copyright Law protects the principles of automatic protection, recognition of moral and economic rights, and preventive and repressive legal mechanisms. The Supreme Court emphasized that copyright recordation is not absolute proof of ownership if conducted in bad faith. Protection is granted only to parties who are legally and factually entitled to the work. The decision strengthens legal certainty by prioritizing good faith and substantive justice in copyright disputes.

Abstract

Diversion constitutes a mechanism for resolving juvenile criminal cases outside the formal criminal justice process through a restorative justice approach. This article examines the normative transformation of diversion for children in conflict with the law by comparing the old Indonesian Criminal Code with Law Number 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code. Under the old Criminal Code, diversion was not explicitly regulated, as the code was primarily oriented toward punishment, prosecution, and an adult-centered model of criminal liability. The regulation of diversion was therefore mainly developed through Law Number 11 of 2012 on the Juvenile Criminal Justice System. Law Number 1 of 2023 marks a significant shift by expressly placing diversion, measures, and penalties for children within the general structure of Indonesian criminal law. The new Criminal Code requires diversion to be attempted for offences punishable by imprisonment of less than seven years and that do not constitute recidivism, while also emphasizing non-custodial measures, child rehabilitation, and social reintegration. This development does not replace the Juvenile Criminal Justice System Law but strengthens its restorative logic by embedding child-sensitive principles into the national criminal law framework. The comparison shows a movement from punitive silence toward restorative codification, reflecting Indonesia's broader commitment to child protection, proportional accountability, recovery, and the best interests of children in conflict with the law.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of religion and godfatherism in sustaining political dominance in Nigeria, drawing upon survey data from 120 respondents across six geopolitical zones and 45 key informant interviews. The findings reveal that nearly half of respondents acknowledged religious influence on their voting behavior, while over half reported awareness of political godfathers in their communities. Regional and gender variations further demonstrate the uneven salience of religion in electoral mobilization, with northern states and female respondents showing greater susceptibility to clerical endorsements. Godfatherism remains entrenched, often overlapping with religious institutions through reciprocal patronage networks, while widespread practices of vote-buying reflect rational voter strategies under conditions of poverty and weak governance. The study concludes that religion and godfatherism constitute overlapping informal institutions that simultaneously provide electoral legitimacy yet undermine democratic accountability. Recommendations emphasize the need for electoral reforms, strengthened civic education, and inclusive economic policies to mitigate the enduring dominance of informal political structures and foster programmatic competition in Nigeria’s democracy.

Abstract

Ethical performance has become increasingly important in legislative institutions where integrity and accountability are essential for maintaining public trust. This study examines the mediating role of ethical climate in the relationship between ethical competence, organizational justice, and ethical performance. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 120 members of five Regional Houses of Representatives (DPRD) in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, through proportionate stratified sampling. The proposed model was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that ethical competence and organizational justice positively influence ethical performance and ethical climate. Ethical climate emerged as the strongest predictor of ethical performance, while organizational justice had the greatest effect on ethical climate. In addition, ethical climate significantly mediates the effects of ethical competence and organizational justice on ethical performance. These findings indicate that the interaction between individual ethical capability, perceptions of fairness, and organizational conditions shapes ethical behavior in legislative institutions. The study enriches the ethical performance literature by integrating individual and organizational factors within a single framework.
