Abstract

Effective and efficient school financial management is crucial for enhancing the quality of educational services. However, many schools still rely on manual systems, which can lead to errors and delays in financial processes. This study aims to examine how the SIMAKOM application can serve as an alternative financial management system to improve the quality of financial services in Integrated Islamic Private Schools. A mixed methods approach (quantitative and qualitative) was employed, with data collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive methods. The results indicate that the SIMAKOM application enhances system quality, user quality, service quality, perceived benefits, and user satisfaction. The quantitative findings include a system quality score of 3.811 and a user satisfaction score of 3.931, based on responses from 93 participants. The qualitative component involved interviews and triangulation to support and enrich the quantitative data. Overall, the SIMAKOM application is shown to be an effective alternative for improving the quality of school financial services. This study contributes to the development of high-quality financial management systems in educational institutions and can serve as a reference for other schools seeking to enhance their financial service quality through digital solutions.

Abstract

Village Credit Institutions (Lembaga Perkreditan Desa or LPD) are unique financial organizations found only in Bali, operating under local customary laws. While the number of LPDs continues to grow, their performance and governance quality have not shown similar progress. In 2024, several LPDs were classified as unhealthy, with a notable case in Serangan Village where corruption led to institutional closure. This study explores how Good Corporate Governance (GCG) impacts LPD performance. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through questionnaires and informal interviews, then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The t-test results indicate that the significance values for each variable are below the 0.05 threshold, indicating that all five GCG principles transparency, accountability, responsibility, independence, and fairness—significantly and positively influence LPD performance. The findings highlight that strong governance practices support ethical operations and performance improvements in local financial institutions. Practically, the study urges LPD management to consistently apply GCG principles to prevent mismanagement and maintain public trust. Local governments and regulators are encouraged to enhance oversight mechanisms rooted in cultural values and offer regular training for LPD leaders

Abstract

Organizational factors play an important role in molding work engagement and overall employee performance. This study examines the influence of organizational factors on the work engagement of instructors in private higher education institutions in Cavite, Philippines. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 150 instructors via an online survey and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. Results show that interpersonal relationships significantly influence all three dimensions of engagement—physical ß = 0.201, p 0.01), emotional (ß = 0.193, p 0.03), and cognitive (ß = 0.165, p 0.05). Work interaction significantly affects physical (ß = 0.233, p 0.004) and cognitive engagement (ß = 0.178, p 0.03), while task characteristics negatively influence cognitive engagement (ß = -0.229, p 0.01). Organizational norms were found to influence only cognitive engagement (ß = 0.176, p 0.02). The findings highlight that interpersonal relationships are the most consistent predictor of holistic engagement. The study recommends that institutions foster strong interpersonal dynamics to enhance motivation, resilience, and instructional performance. These insights provide actionable guidance for institutional leaders and policymakers seeking to strengthen faculty engagement and improve teaching quality in higher education.

Abstract

The development of information technology (IT) in the banking sector has transformed service delivery, including in Sharia banking in Indonesia. Digital banking has become a crucial strategy to meet customer needs and enhance competitiveness, especially considering the limited number of Sharia bank office networks compared to conventional banks. This study aims to examine the influence of IT and office networks on the implementation of IT-based business strategies in Indonesian Sharia banking. Using a descriptive-verificative approach, the research applies an explanatory survey method by distributing questionnaires to gather data from selected respondents. The results show that IT has a significant positive effect on the implementation of IT-based business strategies (coefficient = 0.628; T = 2.766; p = 0.006), while the office network does not show a significant direct influence (coefficient = 0.269; T = 1.443; p = 0.150). However, when combined, IT and office networks have a significant simultaneous effect on technology-based business strategies. This implies that although physical office networks remain important, digital infrastructure plays a more dominant role in driving strategic business initiatives in Sharia banking. Strengthening IT systems should be prioritized to enhance service delivery and achieve long-term business goals.
