Abstract

Zakat holds profound significance in the Muslim community. Its intricate calculations and diverse categories, however, often pose challenges for individuals striving to fulfill this religious obligation accurately. This research investigates the design, development, and impact of a Zakat Calculator Application on Islamic economics students' academic performance at UNU Blitar. By leveraging technology, this study aims to bridge the gap between traditional learning methods and the evolving needs of students in grasping the complexities of zakat. ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) guided the application's creation and evaluation. A sample of 60 students from a population of 90 was selected through simple random sampling. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and an independent two-sample t-test to compare the performance of students using the application with those relying on traditional lecture and discussion methods. The Zakat Calculator Application demonstrated high validity and effectiveness. Expert evaluations yielded excellent scores (media experts: 96.25%, material and strategy experts: 95.55%, curriculum practitioners: 94.69%, lesson plan experts: 92.00%). The t-test results revealed significant improvement in academic performance for students using the application. The experimental group achieved a high academic performance level of 87.5%, compared to 50.5% in the control group. In conclusion, Zakat Calculator Application effectively enhances the academic performance of Islamic economics students. It simplifies zakat calculations, improves understanding of zakat regulations, and promotes compliance with Islamic principles. The application is recommended as a valuable learning tool in Islamic economics education.

Abstract

This meta-analysis investigates the relationship between green accounting practices (GAP) and firm performance. While prior studies have explored this link, the results remain inconclusive. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and robust analysis of the impact of GAP on firm performance by synthesizing findings from various empirical studies. A systematic literature review was conducted using Scopus and Web of Science databases, identifying 10 relevant studies published between 2013 and 2024. These studies employed diverse methodologies and performance measures. We used a random-effects model to estimate the overall effect size and explored potential moderators influencing the relationship. The meta-analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between GAP and firm performance. Specifically, firms that adopted GAP exhibited improved financial performance, as measured by return on assets, return on equity, and Tobin's Q. Furthermore, the analysis identified industry type and the stringency of environmental regulations as significant moderators. This study provides compelling evidence that GAP contribute to enhanced firm performance. These findings have important implications for managers, policymakers, and investors, highlighting the potential benefits of incorporating environmental considerations into accounting practices.

Abstract

The mobile payment sector in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, yet platforms face significant challenges in user retention. Gamification, the application of game-like elements in non-game contexts, has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance user engagement and loyalty. This study investigates the impact of gamification on user retention within Indonesian mobile payment applications, utilizing the theoretical lenses of affordance theory and social impact theory. Employing structural equation modeling (SEM) with a partial least squares (PLS) approach, we analyzed data collected from an online survey of 462 fintech application users in Indonesia. The findings reveal that reward, competition, and cooperation affordances exert positive and significant effects on social impact dimensions, specifically compliance, identification, and internalization. However, feedback affordance did not demonstrate a significant effect on these dimensions. Furthermore, narrative affordance, representing the storytelling aspect of gamification, moderates the relationship between gamified artifactual affordances and social impact. Notably, compliance strongly influences user retention, while internalization and identification do not show significant direct effects. This research offers valuable insights for mobile payment platforms seeking to cultivate user retention by strategically designing reward systems, fostering healthy competition, facilitating cooperation among users, and crafting compelling narratives to enhance the gamified experience. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by extending the understanding of gamification affordances and their interplay with narrative affordance within mobile payment platforms, providing a novel perspective on how these elements collectively shape user retention in the Indonesian context through the lens of social impact theory.

Abstract

Precarious employment is an increasingly prevalent feature of the academic landscape, particularly within Indonesian higher education institutions, posing significant challenges for human resource management. This study investigated the complex interplay between job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and turnover intention among non-permanent (contractual) employees at Universitas Lambung Mangkurat (ULM), a context characterized by employment uncertainty. A quantitative, descriptive-analytical survey design was employed. Data were collected via questionnaires from a proportionally stratified sample of 128 non-permanent employees at ULM. Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) was utilized to test the hypothesized relationships between job satisfaction, organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative), and turnover intention. The findings revealed that job satisfaction had a significant positive influence on organizational commitment (β=0.422, p<0.001) and a significant negative influence on turnover intention (β=-0.371, p=0.013) among non-permanent academic staff. However, contrary to some established models, organizational commitment did not demonstrate a statistically significant direct effect on turnover intention (β=-0.216, p=0.108). Furthermore, organizational commitment did not significantly mediate the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention in this cohort (β=-0.091, p=0.260). In conclusion, job satisfaction emerged as a more dominant predictor of turnover intention than organizational commitment. The inherent uncertainties and limited long-term prospects associated with non-permanent contractual roles appear to diminish the capacity of organizational commitment to retain employees or mediate the effects of job satisfaction. These findings underscore the critical need for higher education institutions to prioritize enhancing job satisfaction for their precariously employed staff as a primary retention strategy.

Abstract

In the wake of recent elections, Indonesia’s political landscape has seen a consolidation of power and the co-optation of formal opposition parties, creating a vacuum in democratic accountability. This study investigates the emergence of a ‘New Opposition’—a constellation of civil society coalitions that have assumed the role of a critical check on state power. We examine the strategies these coalitions employ, their internal dynamics, and the mechanisms underpinning their resilience in an increasingly restrictive political environment. This research employed a 12-month ethnographic mixed-methods approach from May 2024 to May 2025. We conducted 35 in-depth interviews with activists, lawyers, and academics; participant observation within a major civil society coalition in Jakarta; and three focus group discussions. This qualitative data was triangulated with quantitative analysis, including a Social Network Analysis (SNA) of 45 organizations to map collaborative structures and a survey (n=150) of activists to gauge perceived strategic effectiveness. Our findings reveal a strategic repertoire that blends legal-constitutional challenges, sophisticated public narrative framing, and digitally-enabled mobilization. SNA results demonstrate a significant increase in network density (from 0.21 to 0.45) and centralization following key political triggers, indicating a rapid consolidation of the coalition. Key ‘broker’ organizations, particularly in the legal aid and digital rights sectors, were crucial for connecting disparate clusters. While digital platforms were vital for mobilization, they also exposed activists to significant risks, including doxxing and state-sponsored cyber-attacks, creating a paradox of visibility and vulnerability. In conclusion, Indonesian civil society coalitions have effectively transformed into a resilient ‘New Opposition,’ characterized by adaptive strategies and a robust, networked structure. They function as a crucial bulwark for democratic norms, operating outside formal political structures. Their resilience is derived not from a single strategy but from the synergistic interplay of legal, narrative, and digital contention, sustained by a dense network of trust and shared purpose. This study underscores the critical role of networked civil society in upholding democratic accountability in hybrid regimes.

Abstract

Governments worldwide are implementing digital transformation policies to enhance public service delivery. However, the impact of these algorithm-driven systems on street-level bureaucrats remains critically under-examined. This study investigates the complex pathways through which Indonesia's e-government policy affects bureaucratic work and service outcomes. This study employed a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data were collected from 500 public officials across five Indonesian provinces. An E-Government Implementation Index (EGII) was constructed. We used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and a formal mediation analysis with bootstrapping to analyze the relationships between EGII, Perceived Bureaucratic Discretion (PBD), and Bureaucrat-Perceived Public Service Quality (B-PSQ). This was supplemented by 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews to explain the statistical findings. Regression analysis confirmed a significant negative association between EGII and PBD (β = -0.47, p < 0.001) and a significant positive association between EGII and B-PSQ (β = 0.62, p < 0.001). The mediation analysis revealed that EGII has a strong, positive direct effect on B-PSQ (Effect = 0.57, p < 0.001) and a small but significant negative indirect effect through the reduction of PBD (Effect = -0.05, p < 0.01). Qualitative data revealed that officials feel constrained by "algorithmic cages" that, while improving efficiency, limit their ability to handle exceptional cases, thereby risking service equity for marginalized citizens. In conclusion, Indonesia’s digital transformation presents a complex trade-off. It successfully enhances administrative efficiency but simultaneously curtails the beneficial discretion of frontline bureaucrats, creating a small but significant drag on service quality. Effective digital governance requires a hybrid model that embeds algorithmic systems within a framework that empowers, rather than replaces, human judgment.

Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian presidential election marked a tectonic shift in its political landscape, dissolving the decade-long 'Cebong versus Kampret' rivalry. This study investigates whether this realignment led to depolarization or a reconfiguration of partisan animosity. It examines the structure and predictors of affective polarization in the immediate post-election environment. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to July 2024, involving 1,500 respondents across 15 provinces, selected via a multi-stage random sampling method with probability proportional to size. Affective polarization was measured using a feeling thermometer scale. Key predictors—including ideological self-placement, social media consumption for political news, and intergroup contact—were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. To test for non-linear ideological effects, both linear and quadratic terms for ideology were included in the model. The analysis reveals that affective polarization remains a potent force. The regression model showed a strong fit (R2= 0.47). While a linear measure of ideology was not a significant predictor, its quadratic term was a powerful and positive predictor (b = 0.42, p<0.001), indicating a U-shaped relationship where individuals at both ideological poles exhibit significantly higher polarization than those in the center. High consumption of partisan social media was also strongly associated with increased polarization (b = 0.35, p<0.001), while quality intergroup contact was linked to lower levels (b = -0.21, p<0.001). In conclusion, the post-2024 political era in Indonesia is characterized by a reconfiguration, not a dissipation, of affective polarization. The cleavage is no longer primarily personality-driven but is increasingly structured by ideological sorting, amplified by digital media ecosystems. These findings highlight the need for initiatives promoting cross-cutting dialogue and digital literacy to safeguard democratic health.

Abstract

The state-led relocation of Indonesia's capital to Nusantara (IKN) is a monumental project framed as a leap into a sustainable future. However, this top-down imposition of modernity is creating deep social fissures on the ground. This study conducts a sociological autopsy of the IKN development, dissecting the intricate mechanisms of resistance, displacement, and identity formation among affected communities. We employed a concurrent embedded mixed-methods design in North Penajam Paser, East Kalimantan (Jan 2024–Mar 2025). A structured survey was administered to 500 households, selected via a multi-stage sampling process, to quantify displacement anxieties and resistance participation. This was triangulated with 50 in-depth interviews with community leaders, displaced residents, and officials. Quantitative data were analyzed using t-tests and a Negative Binomial regression model to identify predictors of resistance, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Survey data revealed profound anxiety, with indigenous communities reporting significantly higher distress levels (t(498) = 10.2, p < 0.001). The Negative Binomial regression identified indigenous status (IRR=3.45, p<0.001), reliance on agro-forestry (IRR=2.88, p<0.001), and higher anxiety scores (IRR=1.12, p<0.001) as significant predictors of increased participation in resistance activities. Qualitative findings uncovered a sophisticated "tripartite arsenal" of resistance (symbolic, material, legal) and documented the emergence of a "Janus-faced" state, perceived as both coercively present and procedurally absent. In conclusion, the IKN project is a site of intense social struggle where competing modernities collide. State-led development, without genuine participation, engenders resilient and adaptive forms of social resistance and catalyzes a dialectical process of identity politicization. We argue that IKN risks becoming a landscape of exclusionary modernity unless a fundamental shift towards rights-based development is enacted.

Abstract

Indonesia's mandatory Halal certification policy represents a critical juncture of state governance, religious practice, and neoliberal market forces. This study moves beyond a purely economic or policy-based analysis to investigate how this regulation functions as a powerful engine of social stratification. We examine the process by which Halal certification creates a new social field of consumption, reshaping class distinctions and religious expression in urban Indonesia. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed in Jakarta and Makassar. The quantitative phase involved a survey of 500 urban consumers selected via multi-stage stratified sampling. Key variables, including Socio-Economic Status (SES) and Religiosity, were constructed as composite indices. Logistic regression and a Two-Step Cluster Analysis, justified by Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and silhouette coefficients, were used to identify consumer patterns. The qualitative phase comprised 30 in-depth semi-structured interviews and over 100 hours of participant observation, with a specific focus on the gendered dynamics of consumption. Quantitative analysis reveals that SES is the strongest predictor of willingness to pay a premium for Halal-certified products (OR=2.89, p<0.001). Cluster analysis identified three distinct consumer profiles: the 'Conscious Cosmopolitans', 'Pious Pragmatists', and 'Market Traditionalists'. Qualitative findings illuminate how the Halal logo has been symbolically transformed from a religious marker into a signifier of quality, modernity, and class. This enables "piety signaling," a gendered performance of social status. In conclusion, Halal certification is not a neutral regulatory tool but an active force in social structuration. It creates a new field of distinction where "Halal capital" is used to perform symbolic boundary-work, legitimizing inequality through the moral language of piety. This study contributes a novel theoretical framework for understanding how state-regulated religion intersects with consumer capitalism to forge new, intersectional hierarchies of class and gender in the contemporary Muslim world.

Abstract

The digital divide in higher education, particularly in resource-constrained environments, critically impedes institutional effectiveness and academic parity. Effective network systems management (NSM) is the bedrock of modern pedagogy and administration, yet its key determinants are insufficiently understood in these challenging contexts. This study investigates the factors predicting the quality of NSM in public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within a geographically isolated and developing region. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted at three public HEIs in Sulu, Philippines, a representative resource-constrained archipelagic province. A validated survey instrument was administered to a stratified sample of 256 respondents, including IT personnel, administrators, faculty, and students. The instrument measured three latent constructs identified from the literature: IT Governance and Policy (ITGP), Technical Infrastructure and Configuration (TIC), and Human Capital and Personnel (HCP). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. The overall quality of NSM was found to be 'moderately satisfactory' (M=2.84, SD=1.05), but with a statistically significant and profound chasm between institutions (p < 0.001). Institution 3 (M=1.50) was 'unsatisfactory,' while Institution 2 (M=3.53) achieved a 'satisfactory' status. The multiple regression model was significant (F(3, 252) = 188.7, p < 0.001), explaining 68.9% (Adjusted R²) of the variance in NSM. IT Governance and Policy emerged as the most powerful predictor (β = 0.45, p < 0.001), followed by Human Capital and Personnel (β = 0.31, p < 0.001). Technical Infrastructure and Configuration (β = 0.18, p < 0.01), while significant, had the smallest unique contribution. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that institutional policy and human capital are more critical determinants of effective network management than technical infrastructure alone. Bridging the digital chasm in resource-constrained HEIs requires a holistic, socio-technical approach, prioritizing the development of robust IT governance frameworks and investing in the continuous training, retention, and empowerment of skilled IT personnel.
