Abstract

This study was started by a research gap regarding the influence of customer orientation on firm performance. Grounded in the resource-based theory, it develops a research model to examine the effect of customer orientation on firm performance, with internal resource integration serving as a mediating variable. This research population consisted of managers of Islamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFIs) in Semarang Regency, with a purposive sample of 100 respondents. Using SmartPLS for data analysis, the findings reveal that customer orientation exerts a positive and significant effect on firm performance, that customer orientation positively and significantly influences internal resource integration, and that internal resource integration positively and significantly enhances firm performance. Moreover, internal resource integration is found to effectively mediate the relationship between customer orientation and firm performance. These results provide empirical support for the resource-based theory, highlighting that superior internal resource integration amplifies the impact of customer orientation on performance. Accordingly, firms are advised to strategically manage their internal resources to build sustainable competitive advantage and achieve long-term performance excellence.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing the effectiveness of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in enhancing Village Original Revenue (PAD) and to analyze the role of BUMDes in increasing the PAD of Kadundung Village. The research employs a qualitative method through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The findings reveal that the development of BUMDes business units in Kadundung Village, supported by government and village funds, has generated substantial benefits for the community. BUMDes contributes to the growth of PAD while simultaneously assisting low-income households through micro-loan services. In addition, BUMDes has created employment opportunities and facilitated entrepreneurial activities by providing initial capital through cooperative-based financing schemes. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of BUMDes varies across its business units. The kiosk unit demonstrates significant effectiveness in enhancing PAD and improving community welfare, whereas the savings and loan cooperative unit faces challenges due to repayment defaults among villagers. Overall, BUMDes in Kadundung Village can be considered effective, particularly through the kiosk unit, although improvements in the management of the savings and loan cooperative are necessary to maximize its contribution

Abstract

The rapid expansion of Indonesia’s sukuk market has become a strategic pillar in the advancement of the national Islamic economic framework. Nevertheless, this progress is overshadowed by the inherent risk of yield volatility, primarily triggered by fluctuations in monetary policy. Such volatility generates significant cash flow uncertainty for issuers and price risks for investors. Unmitigated, this risk has the potential to hinder market deepening and constrain long-term financial stability.This study aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the conceptual framework and technical mechanisms of Sharia-compliant hedging instruments as a viable solution to these challenges. Employing a systematic literature review with a qualitative analytical approach, the study synthesizes diverse academic works, industry standards, and relevant fatwas. The findings indicate that the Islamic Profit Rate Swap (IPRS) represents a manifestation of Sharia-compliant financial engineering that is theoretically effective in mitigating yield-related risks. Structured through a series of wa’d (unilateral promises) and tawarruq (commodity murabahah) contracts, the IPRS mechanism provides functional equivalence to conventional swaps by enabling market participants to exchange fixed-rate exposures for floating ones.The main contribution of this research lies in bridging the existing literature gap between global discourses on Islamic derivatives and their contextual application within Indonesia’s sukuk market. The study concludes that understanding and adopting sophisticated instruments such as the IPRS is not merely an option but a necessary condition for achieving maturity, resilience, and market completeness in the future development of the Islamic capital market.

Abstract

This study examines the role of fisher cooperatives in North Minahasa’s coastal communities as hybrid socio-economic institutions that integrate market logic with moral, cultural, and ecological values. It explores how four key dimensions, economic, social, cultural, and ecological, interact within cooperative practices, and how the local value of mapalus (Minahasan mutual cooperation) shapes collective ethics and institutional sustainability. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through participant observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews, then analyzed narratively to uncover meaning structures embedded in fishermen’s social actions. The analysis draws upon Islamic moral economy and institutional theory to interpret how values and norms guide cooperative behavior. Findings reveal that fisher cooperatives serve not only as economic entities providing capital, production inputs, and price stability but also as social spaces that cultivate solidarity, trust, and collective learning. The cultural foundation of mapalus reinforces moral accountability and shared welfare, while ecological practices demonstrate adaptive responses to climate change and marine resource conservation. The study concludes that these cooperatives represent a model of community-based Islamic institutional economics that unites efficiency, ethics, and ecological responsibility. Despite its limited scope, this research provides conceptual insights into how Islamic economic principles can be localized within socio-ecological contexts, offering a foundation for further comparative studies on cooperatives, informal finance, and Blue Economy policies in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research explores the perception and motivation of saving from customers of the Branch Office (KC) Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Manado. This study uses a qualitative approach to understand how customers view Islamic banking services and the factors motivating them to use them. The research method includes in-depth interviews with BSI customers. Interviews are used to explore customers' views on Islamic banking services, the factors influencing their savings decisions, and their experiences and expectations regarding these services. The findings show that religiosity, income, and understanding of Sharia principles are essential in the motivation to save in Islamic banks. Customers choose Islamic banks not only because of their religious aspects but also because they believe in transparency and fairness in financial services based on Islamic teachings. The implications of this research are important for Islamic banks in designing more effective marketing strategies and products that suit the needs of customers with a solid religious background.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of IAIN Manado students' impulse buying behavior and hedonistic lifestyles on Shariah investment from an Islamic economics perspective. Impulse buying behavior, characterized by spontaneous purchases without rational consideration and a hedonistic lifestyle focused on material satisfaction and pleasure, is increasingly prevalent among students. This phenomenon can affect the allocation of funds that should be invested in Shariah-compliant instruments by Islamic economic principles. This study employs a qualitative approach using case study methods and in-depth interviews with students from the Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business at IAIN Manado. The results indicate that impulsive behavior and a hedonistic lifestyle tend to reduce students' awareness and interest in Sharia-compliant investments. This is due to priorities shifting from productive long-term investments to unplanned short-term consumption. From an Islamic economics perspective, such behavior contradicts the principles of prudent and responsible financial management. The study recommends enhancing Shariah's financial literacy and promoting awareness about the importance of Shariah-compliant investments to foster sustainable well-being.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the applicability of ISAK 35 to the financial reporting practices of the Great Awwal Fathul Mubien Mosque in Manado City and to reconstruct its financial statements in accordance with non-profit reporting standards. Using a qualitative case-study approach, this research employed observation, in-depth interviews with key financial officers, and document analysis. The data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal significant gaps between the mosque’s existing cash-based practices and the requirements of ISAK 35. The current system records only cash inflows and outflows, resulting in the absence of core components such as the statement of financial position, comprehensive income, changes in net assets, cash flows, and notes to the financial statements. The reconstruction process demonstrates the presence of substantial invisible assets—primarily waqf land and heritage buildings valued at approximately IDR 17.3 billion—that had never been formally recognized. The application of ISAK 35 also uncovers the mosque’s actual operational surplus and net asset position, provides clearer distinctions between restricted and unrestricted funds, and highlights structural and governance issues that hinder proper reporting. The study concludes that the mosque’s existing reporting system provides social accountability but fails to meet institutional accountability required for an entity managing significant public assets. Despite the voluntary nature of ISAK 35 adoption, the mosque’s historical and financial prominence creates a higher moral obligation to transition toward standardized reporting.
