Abstract

Background: The social intelligence of leaders has become a very popular project; however, research conducted by practitioners to date does not provide convincing evidence of the effectiveness of organizations through the development of social intelligence. This study aimed to identify the impact of the social intelligence of administrative leaders on improving the effectiveness of the General Electricity Company in Libya. Methodology: The study population consisted of employees of the General Electricity Company. We tested our hypothesis using field data from 387 employees working at the General Electricity Company, using a questionnaire consisting of seven items to measure the social intelligence of administrative leaders and seven items to measure the effectiveness of the organization (the General Electricity Company). A mixed methodology (quantitative and qualitative) was used, and the SPSS program was used to analyze the data collected through the questionnaire. Statistical results indicate that social intelligence has a significant impact on organizational effectiveness through the availability of several characteristics, such as social acumen, emotional skills, and flexibility in dealing with employees. The study also revealed that a socially intelligent leader must demonstrate a genuine interest in their team and empathize with their feelings. Thus, social intelligence enables leaders to positively influence and persuade others of their viewpoints without resorting to coercive authority. Furthermore, the results showed a direct correlation between leaders' social intelligence and enhanced organizational effectiveness, as it allows them to understand the emotions and motivations of organizational members, communicate effectively, contribute to building trusting relationships, and manage conflict. The study also found that leaders with high social intelligence significantly contributed to increased team motivation, enhanced employee collaboration, and the creation of a positive and productive work environment, which positively impacted productivity and service delivery.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of price dynamics and demand elasticity in Indonesia's online retail sector, with particular emphasis on platform economy effects during the 2024-2025 period. Employing a double-log regression methodology with ordinary least squares (OLS) estimation, we analyze transaction-level data from major e-commerce platforms including Shopee, Tokopedia, and Lazada. The research reveals that demand elasticity in the Indonesian online retail market exhibits pronounced price sensitivity (elasticity coefficient: -1.23 to -1.67), indicating elastic demand characteristics. Cross-price elasticity estimates suggest significant substitution effects between platforms (range: 0.45 to 0.78), driven by the mobile-first architecture and promotional intensity of the digital ecosystem. Dynamic pricing mechanisms implemented by major platforms demonstrate adaptation to localized demand variations and competitive pressures. Our findings demonstrate that platform-based price competition generates downward pressure on margins while increasing consumer surplus, with elasticity heterogeneity across product categories ranging from -0.89 (electronics) to -1.95 (fashion and accessories). The study provides quantitative evidence that platform economy dynamics fundamentally reshape traditional price-demand relationships in emerging markets, offering actionable insights for retailers, policymakers, and platform operators managing competitive pricing strategies in this rapidly evolving ecosystem

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of product quality, service quality, and consumer trust on consumer loyalty to Mills Sport products, both directly and indirectly through consumer satisfaction. The research is motivated by unstable loyalty among Mills Sport consumers in West Jakarta, despite repeated purchases, which raises questions about which drivers are most critical for sustaining long‑term relationships. A quantitative survey was conducted using purposive sampling of 155 Mills Sport consumers who had purchased Mills Sport products at least twice and were at least 18 years old. Data were collected via a structured Likert‑scale questionnaire and analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS‑SEM). The findings show that product quality does not significantly affect consumer satisfaction or consumer loyalty, either directly or through satisfaction. In contrast, service quality and consumer trust have significant positive effects on both satisfaction and loyalty, and consumer satisfaction significantly reinforces loyalty. Furthermore, consumer satisfaction mediates the effects of service quality and consumer trust on loyalty, but does not mediate the effect of product quality. The results highlight the central role of service quality, trust, and satisfaction in building loyalty, and suggest that Mills Sport should prioritise relational and experiential aspects over product attributes alone.

Abstract

Strongly embedded customer loyalty impacts consumption behavior. To win business competition, loyal customers are the main goal of the culinary industry through achieving customer satisfaction. Maintaining customer satisfaction, through: service quality as one of the main weapons to maintain prestige value by providing more satisfaction; food quality as an important component in the production process; price which has a significant influence because high or low product prices affect product sales, and the physical environment creates a first impression and influences customers' initial perceptions of service or food quality. This study aims to identify the influence of service quality, food quality, price and physical environment through customer satisfaction on customer loyalty. Sampling used a purposive sampling technique, namely customers consuming takeaway or dine-in at least twice in the past month, minimum age 18 years - maximum 47 years, domiciled in Bekasi City, processing data from 200 respondents using SEM PLS. The results showed that service quality, food quality, price and physical environment have a positive effect on customer satisfaction and customer satisfaction has a positive effect on customer loyalty.

Abstract

This study develops a quantitative framework for integrating Maqashid Syariah principles within Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation for green economic policy in Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design with panel data analysis covering 2018-2024, this research examines the relationship between Islamic finance development and SDG achievement across 34 provinces. The study constructs a Maqashid-SDG Integration Index comprising five dimensions: preservation of religion (hifz ad-din), life (hifz an-nafs), intellect (hifz al-aql), progeny (hifz an-nasl), and wealth (hifz al-mal). Data from Bappenas, OJK, Ministry of Finance, and BPS reveal that Islamic finance assets reached IDR 2,582 trillion in 2023, representing 10.95% market share, while green sukuk issuance totaled USD 6.9 billion since 2018. Statistical analysis demonstrates a significant positive correlation (r=0.742, p<0.01) between Islamic finance penetration and SDG performance indicators. Regression results indicate that a 1% increase in Maqashid-aligned financing contributes to 0.63% improvement in environmental SDG indicators. The findings validate that integrating Maqashid Syariah into SDG frameworks enhances policy effectiveness for green economic transition, with Indonesia's SDG index reaching 70.22 in 2024. This research provides policymakers with a measurable framework to optimize Islamic finance mechanisms for sustainable development outcomes

Abstract

This study investigates the comparative resilience and contagion risk profiles of Islamic banking systems during two major global economic crises: the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. . However, profitability declined significantly in 2009 when the crisis affected the real economy. Conversely, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Islamic banks exhibited comparable systemic vulnerabilities to conventional banks when facing exogenous shocks, though with significantly reduced spillover effects. CAR increased from 24.0% to 26.5% while NPF improved from 2.1% to 2.0% during COVID-19, demonstrating structural resilience despite ROA declining from 1.9% to 1.4%. CoVaR analysis reveals Islamic banks receive significant directional risk spillover from conventional banks but transmit substantially less contagion. These findings suggest that while Islamic banking's profit-loss sharing principles and asset-backed financing provide buffer against financial sector crises, the system remains vulnerable to real economy disruptions, challenging the prevailing narrative of unconditional Islamic banking superiority during economic turbulenceThis study investigates the comparative resilience and contagion risk profiles of Islamic banking systems during two major global economic crises: the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
