Abstract

In 2022, a total of 70 districts (16.83% of the total 416 districts) and 4 cities (4% of the 98 cities) were reported to have low scores in the Food security Index (FRI). This research aims to analyze the impact of the availability, affordability, and utilization of food on the Food security Index (FRI) in districts and cities with the lowest Food security Index in Indonesia. The research is quantitative with a correlational design, aiming to analyze the effect of availability, affordability, and utilization of food on the Food security Index. The study was conducted in 74 districts and cities that had the lowest Food security Index in 2022. Secondary data were obtained from the National Food Agency of the Republic of Indonesia, and data analysis was carried out using Multiple Linear Regression methods. The research findings affirm that the availability of food has a significant positive impact on the Food security Index in districts and cities with the lowest Food security Index. Meanwhile, the affordability of food also shows a significant positive influence on the Food security Index at the same local level. However, the utilization of food is not proven to have a significant impact on the Food security Index in districts and cities with low levels of food security.

Abstract

This study assesses the adequacy of Model Risk Management (MRM) frameworks within Indonesian Islamic banking by utilizing Maqashid Shariah principles as a tool to align these frameworks more closely with global standards, specifically focusing on safeguarding life (Hifzh Al-Nafs) and property (Hifzh Al-Mal). Through a comparative literature review, this research examines the structure and effectiveness of MRM practices in Indonesia, referencing regulations such as POJK 65/2016 and SEOJK 25-SEOJK.03-2023, against those in developed financial markets such as the USA, UK, Europe, Japan, and UAE, with an emphasis on governance, lifecycle management, and internal audit processes. The findings suggest that Indonesia’s current MRM frameworks are somewhat rudimentary when contrasted with international norms. Key areas identified for enhancement include expanding the scope, enhancing governance structures, refining model lifecycle management, and strengthening internal audits and oversight mechanisms. By employing Maqashid Shariah principles as an analytical tool, this paper proposes enhancements to MRM frameworks that can significantly improve the stability and compliance of Islamic banks in Indonesia, promoting greater global competitiveness and adherence to Shariah principles. This approach not only integrates traditional MRM approaches with Islamic ethical standards but also provides a tailored framework for regulatory enhancements that support a stable, compliant, and ethical Islamic banking environment.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the influence of consumer behavior and electronic-word of mouth (e-WOM) on the decision to purchase Pizza Hut products among Generation Z in Depok City from a Maqosid Syariah perspective. The importance of this research lies in understanding how these two factors influence purchasing decisions in the context of sharia which focuses on prosperity and balance. The background to the problem includes the increasing influence of digital and social media in the consumption behavior of Generation Z, as well as the lack of literature that discusses the influence of consumer behavior and e-WOM specifically in the fast food industry in Indonesia. This phenomenon is increasingly relevant considering that Generation Z is a significant target market. The novelty of this research is the integration of the Maqosid Syariah perspective in the analysis of consumer behavior and e-WOM, which has not been widely discussed in previous research. The method used was quantitative with a questionnaire as the data collection instrument, involving 150 respondents from Generation Z in Depok City. The research results show that consumer behavior and e-WOM simultaneously have a significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a calculated F value of 137.28 which is greater than the F table of 3.06 at a significance level of 0.05. The t test shows that the coefficient value for consumer behavior is 0.482 and e-WOM is 0.567, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.652, indicating that 65.2% of the variability in purchasing decisions is explained by these two factors. So, consumer behavior and e-WOM have a significant influence on purchasing decisions for Pizza Hut products, and it is important for the company to develop an ethical and transparent marketing strategy in accordance with Maqosid Syariah principles.

Abstract

Research Aims: Analyze the factors that influence the use of Linktree using UTAUT theory. This research analyzes Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions, Behavioral Intention and Use Behavior in using Linktree by customers. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research examines construction companies that were founded in 2012. Researchers used a sample of 119 customers using Stratified Random Sampling. The analytical method used in this research is UTAUT. Research Findings: Findings show that Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy do not have a significant influence on Linktree's Behavioral Intention or Use Behavior. On the other hand, Social Influence and Facilitating Conditions have a significant impact on these two variables. Social Influence influences Behavioral Intention and Use Behavior due to recommendations and social norms received by users. Facilitating Conditions plays an important role in supporting the use of Linktree through the availability of adequate infrastructure and technical support. Apart from that, Behavioral Intention is the most significant factor in determining usage behavior. And the influence of Facilitating Conditions on Behavioral Intention is strengthened when mediated by Use Behavior. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research provides a theoretical contribution to the understanding of factors influencing the acceptance and use of new technologies in the context of small and medium-sized companies. Practitioners/Policy Implications: Companies should focus on practical benefits that customers gain, such as easy access to various important links on one page. And considering the significant social influence, marketing strategies must be reinforced with positive testimonials from satisfied customers. Research Limitations/Implications: Companies must focus on the practical benefits of using Linktree, strengthen social influence- based marketing strategies through customer testimonials and recommendations, and ensure conditions that facilitate use remain optimal with adequate infrastructure and technical support.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the financial performance of XYZ Bank through the lens of the balanced scorecard approach. The research method employed is qualitative, with data drawn from the annual reports of the banks in question for the period spanning 2020 to 2021. This period encompasses both the pre-merger and post-merger phases of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The findings of this study indicate that, from a financial perspective, the combined ROE ratio of the three Islamic banks, which has undergone a merger, is improving and includes healthy qualifications, approaching 15%. The customer perspective reveals an encouraging improvement in profitability, which is attributable to both customer migration from the predecessor bank to the merged bank and new customer growth. The merger has facilitated operating efficiency due to the synergy of the merger, leading to an increase in employee productivity, as measured by revenue. The establishment of several business unit networks represents an innovative form of internal business process, which can facilitate service delivery. The implications of this research provide a more detailed description of performance measurement using data from the company's published annual reports. Previous balance scorecard research employed survey methods in order to obtain information related to the growth and learning perspectives, as well as the customer and internal business process perspectives. In contrast, this study uses only data from the company's financial statements and annual reports.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of employee productivity and operational costs on income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan. The study uses multiple linear regression methods with a sample of annual financial reports from the past six years, which have been approved by the company leadership. The motivation for this research stems from fluctuations in income over the years, particularly during the pandemic, where a drastic decline was observed. The income generated was insufficient to cover operational costs, leading to unmet income targets and a lack of management incentives, or even company losses. The results of the study indicate that employee productivity has a positive and significant effect on income, with a T-value of 7.079 (T-value 7.079 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Operational costs also have a significant impact on income, with a T-value of 3.976 (T-value 3.976 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, again leading to the acceptance of Ha and rejection of H0. Furthermore, the combined effect of productivity and operational costs yields an F-value of 34.852 > 4.74 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings demonstrate that both employee productivity and operational costs positively and significantly influence income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify intelligence as a proxy for worker performance at XYZ's company from an Islamic standpoint. The three types of intelligence in question are intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Given the increasing complexity of the industry and the globalization of business, it is critical for organizations to recognize that their most valuable resource is their workforce. Utilized by XYZ's company to assist intelligence from an Islamic perspective, particularly in integrating Islamic values, this research method involves qualitative descriptive analysis. Five informants provided information during staff interviews in the operational unit responsible for human resources, education, and training. Data were also gathered through observation and documentation. The study's findings suggest that intelligence encompasses more than just cognition; it also covers other types of intelligence including emotional and spiritual intelligence. Islamic teachings place a great emphasis on the harmony between the three forms of intellect in order to develop healthy and productive persons. This allows employers to produce workers who are not only technically proficient but also possess a strong sense of social awareness and spiritual understanding.
