Abstract

Purpose - This study aims to explore how the application of blockchain technology can contribute to improving human resource (HR) performance through a value co-creation strategy at PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Central Java Province. This study uses a qualitative approach with an in-depth interview method with employees at the managerial level to collect relevant data. Blockchain, as a technology known for its security and transparency, is expected to improve operational efficiency and collaboration between departments, which in turn has an impact on improving HR performance. Method - The method used in this study is qualitative, which is a research approach used to understand social phenomena in depth, from a complex and contextual perspective. In qualitative research, data is collected in a way that allows researchers to explore the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of respondents, and to understand the context in which the phenomenon occurs. Result - This study identified that blockchain can improve trust and communication between management and employees, creating a more cooperative and dynamic work environment. This allows companies to respond to market changes more quickly and efficiently. The study also revealed that blockchain can reduce administrative and operational costs through the automation of processes that previously required human intervention, such as payroll and contract management. The study concluded that value co-creation strategies supported by blockchain technology can be an effective tool in improving HR performance in the Islamic Banking industry. Implication - Recommendations for further implementation include training and developing employee skills in using blockchain technology as well as improving the company's information technology infrastructure to support this digital transformation. Originality - Blockchain, as a technology known for its security and transparency, is expected to improve operational efficiency and collaboration between departments, which in turn has an impact on improving HR performance. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of blockchain can strengthen the HR management system through the creation of shared value (value co-creation) between management and employees. Keywords:           Blockchain, Value Co-Creation, HR Performance, Islamic Banking Industry.

Abstract

Purpose - This literature review aims to systematically analyze and synthesize existing research on the impact of Islamic banking on financial inclusion in developing countries, with a specific focus on four Southeast Asian nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, and Singapore. The study seeks to identify key patterns, challenges, and opportunities in the relationship between Islamic banking development and financial inclusion outcomes. Method - The review employs a systematic literature review methodology, analyzing peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and institutional reports published between 2013 and 2024. The analysis focuses on four key dimensions: regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, market penetration, and socio-economic impact. A structured content analysis approach was used to synthesize findings from 87 selected publications. Result - The review reveals a significant positive correlation between Islamic banking development and financial inclusion metrics across the studied countries. Malaysia demonstrates the most advanced integration of Islamic banking with financial inclusion initiatives, supported by comprehensive regulatory frameworks and technological innovation. Indonesia shows rapid growth potential but faces infrastructure challenges, while Brunei Darussalam exhibits high market penetration within a smaller market. Singapore's unique position as a regional Islamic finance hub contributes differently to financial inclusion through sophisticated product development and cross-border services. Implication - The findings suggest that successful integration of Islamic banking with financial inclusion objectives requires a holistic approach encompassing regulatory reform, technological advancement, and market development strategies. The review identifies best practices and lessons learned that can inform policy development in other developing nations seeking to leverage Islamic banking for financial inclusion. Originality - This review provides the first comprehensive cross-country analysis of Islamic banking's impact on financial inclusion in Southeast Asia, synthesizing recent empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks. It contributes to the literature by identifying patterns of successful implementation and challenges across different market contexts, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners.

Abstract

Purpose - This article aims to examine and analyze the role of Islamic travel insurance in improving protection for Muslim tourists. Specifically, this study focuses on understanding the mechanism of Islamic insurance, as well as the extent to which this insurance is able to answer the needs and challenges of Muslim travelers in the context of halal travel.. Method - In this study, data search was conducted using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) Method by summarizing findings from previous studies that are relevant to the research topic. The keywords from Indonesian used to search for data for this study are "Sharia Travel Insurance" and "Protection for Muslim Tourists". Result - Islamic travel insurance, based on the principle of takaful, provides protection for Muslim travelers through sharia-compliant mechanisms, such as tabarru and wakalah bil ujrah contracts. However, travelers still face various obstacles, such as a lack of understanding of takaful, limited coverage, and constraints in regulations and claim procedures. They need insurance coverage that covers important aspects, such as legal certainty that is free from gharar, maysir, and usury, as well as access to halal food and prayer facilities during the trip. Case studies reveal that defaults in Islamic travel insurance claims for Umrah pilgrims often occur due to a lack of transparency in the claim procedure. To increase traveler confidence, the insurance industry needs to design more inclusive products, improve regulations that support sharia compliance, and improve financial literacy so that protection for Muslim travelers is more optimal. Implication - This study used data from Google Scholar to identify related articles, with a total of 1,010 articles found in the initial stage. After a screening process based on the relevant year range, 270 articles were identified from journals published in the period 2020–2025 as the basis for initial selection. Further screening was carried out using the Open Refine application by considering the inclusion criteria that had been set. From the results of this process, 27 articles were obtained that were relevant to the research topic, with 8 of them having a high level of relevance to the research title. Originality - This study examines the mechanism of Islamic travel insurance and its role in meeting the needs and overcoming the challenges of Muslim travelers in halal travel. The discussion covers fundamental aspects, coverage, as well as regulatory barriers and claim procedures. In addition, this study evaluates innovative strategies in product development and increasing understanding of Islamic finance to ensure more effective protection for Muslim travelers. Keywords:                     Sharia Insurance, Insurance Sharia Travel, Protection Muslim Tourists.
