Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the principle of good faith in credit agreements and examines effective contractual clauses and internal policies for operationalizing good faith in banking practices. An empirical juridical approach with qualitative methods was employed. Data were collected through literature review and field observations of credit-granting practices, subsequently analyzed descriptively to illustrate prevailing empirical conditions. Findings indicate that: (1) the principle of good faith plays a crucial role in establishing a balanced relationship between banks and debtors, with implementation through honesty, transparency, and responsibility preventing disputes and promoting legal certainty; and (2) clear, balanced contractual clauses and appropriate internal bank policies effectively support the operationalization of good faith. However, in practice, application remains largely administrative and has not been fully operationalized as an effective risk mitigation instrument. This study uniquely integrates normative analysis with empirical observation of credit practices, highlighting the gap between legal doctrine and operational implementation of good faith in Indonesian banking. Findings recommend that banks strengthen internal policies and formulate clear contractual clauses to operationalize good faith as a strategic risk mitigation tool. Grounded in Pacta Sunt Servanda theory, this research contributes empirical evidence that good faith implementation enhances legal certainty and fosters fair contractual relationships, offering actionable insights for banking practitioners and policymakers in credit agreement design.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of Brand Image and Service Quality on Customer Loyalty through Customer Satisfaction as a mediating variable at Bigowner Surya Nusantara Safety Store in Medan City. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative research design. The population consisted of 877 customers who had conducted transactions during the previous seven months, from which 90 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The results demonstrate that Brand Image and Service Quality have positive and significant effects on Customer Satisfaction. Customer Satisfaction also has a positive and significant effect on Customer Loyalty. Furthermore, Brand Image and Service Quality have positive and significant direct effects on Customer Loyalty. The mediation analysis reveals that Customer Satisfaction does not significantly mediate the relationship between Brand Image and Customer Loyalty, indicating that a favorable brand image tends to influence customer loyalty more directly. In contrast, Customer Satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between Service Quality and Customer Loyalty, demonstrating that improved service quality enhances customer satisfaction, which subsequently strengthens customer loyalty. These findings highlight the importance of maintaining a strong brand image and consistently improving service quality to enhance customer satisfaction and foster sustainable customer loyalty.

Abstract

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia hold significant waqf land assets with considerable potential for promoting community welfare. However, effective management of these assets remains a persistent challenge. This study examines the challenges of waqf land management in pesantren, their negative implications for community welfare, and proposes a framework aligned with Maqashid al-Shariah principles. Employing a qualitative field research approach, the study investigates four pesantren in Merangin Regency, Indonesia, through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Findings reveal four major challenges: (1) incomplete legal documentation 79.2% of waqf land remains uncertified; (2) disputes with heirs of waqif (donors), including a case involving the loss of 50 hectares of waqf land; (3) limited nazhir (manager) capacity and financial resources; and (4) inadequate transparency and governance accountability. These challenges have resulted in disrupted educational sustainability, reduced community welfare, and weakened public trust. From a Maqashid al-Shariah perspective, effective waqf management must simultaneously protect and develop assets (hifz al-mal), enhance welfare (hifz al-nafs), and sustain Islamic education (hifz al-din). The study proposes the PTSA Model Legal Strengthening, Capacity Transformation, Legal Awareness, and Governance Accountability as a strategic framework for professional and welfare-oriented waqf management. These findings contribute to Islamic law scholarship and offer practical guidance for policymakers and pesantren administrators in optimizing waqf assets for sustainable community development.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of strategic leadership within Indonesia’s national defense strategy in response to non-traditional security (NTS) threats, including cyber threats, disinformation, economic coercion, and gray-zone warfare. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted, informed by PRISMA 2020 principles, drawing on Scopus and Google Scholar, and analyzed through thematic synthesis designed to surface convergences, contradictions, and paradoxes in the literature. Findings show that Indonesia’s leadership transformation has been real but asymmetric: doctrinal and integrative capacities have advanced through the Nusantara Trident Shield vision, the National Defense Council, and the recognition of cyberspace as a domain of warfare, while institutional and democratic-accountability capacities have lagged, most notably through the 2025 amendment to the TNI Law. Comparative evidence further suggests this risk stems less from military crisis involvement itself than from its open-ended, cross-institutional character. This study offers an integrative framework linking adaptive capacity, multidomain integration, digital capacity, and institutional capacity, positioning strategic leadership as a multidimensional process rather than a purely military or organizational construct. The framework provides a basis for strengthening cyber resilience, inter-agency coordination, and strategic intelligence, while binding any further military role expansion with sunset provisions and proportional civilian oversight. This study contributes theoretically by synthesizing conceptual and empirical developments on strategic leadership transformation and practically by offering guidance for developing adaptive, integrative, and democratically accountable defense policy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The ex officio authority of judges in Indonesian Religious Courts is intended to safeguard wives’ post-divorce rights, yet its implementation remains inconsistent, creating legal uncertainty and undermining substantive justice. This study examines the legal construction and effectiveness of ex officio authority in determining wives’ post-divorce rights in the Religious Courts of Jambi Province through the framework of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah. Employing a normative-empirical legal research design with a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with judges, court clerks, legal scholars, and litigants; analysis of court decisions; and field observations across Religious Courts in Jambi Province. The findings reveal three key gaps. First, although ex officio authority possesses strong juridical, philosophical, and sociological foundations, its application varies significantly across judicial panels due to divergent interpretations of judicial passivity versus substantive protection. Second, while the principles of Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah particularly ḥifẓ al-nafs (protection of life), ḥifẓ al-māl (protection of property), and ḥifẓ al-nasl (protection of lineage) provide normative legitimacy for ex officio action, their translation into consistent judicial practice remains limited. Third, institutional weaknesses in enforcement mechanisms and low compliance by former husbands undermine the effectiveness of rights determination even when judges exercise ex officio authority. This study offers a novel conceptual framework integrating positive law, theories of justice, and Maqāṣid al-Sharīʿah to reconstruct ex officio authority as a mechanism for achieving substantive gender justice. The proposed framework provides judges with operational guidelines that balance procedural requirements with the protection of vulnerable parties. These findings have implications for judicial training, policy reform, and the strengthening of women’s legal protection in Islamic family law systems across Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of School Operational Assistance (BOS) fund utilization in improving educational facilities and infrastructure at SDN 27 Banyuasin I, identifies challenges encountered, and examines strategies implemented by the school to address them. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, involving four purposively selected informants: the principal, two teachers, and one student. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, with validity established through source and method triangulation. Analysis followed data reduction, presentation, conclusion drawing, and verification. BOS fund utilization was relatively effective in supporting facility provision and maintenance through needs-based planning, priority setting, classroom maintenance, minor repairs, and creating a conducive learning environment. However, effectiveness remains constrained by budget limitations, recurring maintenance requirements, evolving educational needs, and expenditure restrictions. The school addresses challenges through careful planning, prioritization, phased maintenance, community involvement, and periodic evaluation. This study provides contextualized evidence on BOS fund effectiveness in a rural elementary school setting, highlighting the interplay between budget constraints and managerial capacity. Findings emphasize that effective BOS utilization depends not only on budget availability but also on school managerial capacity to plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate fund use transparently and sustainably. This research contributes empirical insights for policymakers and school administrators, demonstrating that BOS funds primarily meet basic facility needs rather than financing large-scale development, offering actionable recommendations for optimizing resource allocation in similar contexts.

Abstract

Character education in vocational schools faces unique challenges due to the dual demands of academic competence and professional character formation. This study examines the implementation of character education management in fostering students’ moral development at an Islamic vocational school in Medan, Indonesia, focusing on planning, implementation, evaluation, and obstacle mitigation. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven key informants (principal, vice principal, teachers, and students), observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that character education management operates through integrated, systematic, and sustainable processes: planning is needs-based and participatory; implementation occurs through formal learning, school culture, religious habituation, and role modeling; evaluation employs multiple instruments including attitude assessments and parental collaboration. However, significant obstacles include insufficient parental supervision and the negative influence of social media. The school addresses these through reinforcing religious practices, personal development programs, and strengthening school-family partnerships. This study contributes to understanding how vocational schools can systematically manage character education to produce graduates with both professional competence and moral integrity. It recommends enhanced collaboration frameworks and digital literacy programs to address external environmental challenges.

Abstract

Traditional Islamic educational institutions face the challenge of adapting to digital technology without compromising their religious and cultural identity. This study examines how Pondok Pesantren Darul Qur’an in Medan, Indonesia, manages digital integration while preserving Ahlussunnah wal Jama’ah (Aswaja) values. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study approach, data were collected through passive observation, semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders (head of madrasah, teachers, administrative staff), and document analysis. The findings reveal three main strategies: (1) a “Guided Innovation” model integrating technology as an ideological filter, combining strict digital access control with classical Islamic literacy to maintain Aswaja principles; (2) preservation of the ta’dzim (respect) culture through hybrid-traditional learning methods, though students exhibited behavioral shifts when outside the pesantren environment, indicating the need for deeper internalization of digital ethics; and (3) structured administrative policies, including Standard Operating Procedures, digital skills training, and equitable access programs, effectively bridged the digital literacy gap among students from diverse geographical backgrounds. This study contributes to understanding how traditional Islamic institutions can undergo digital transformation while maintaining their spiritual identity through visionary leadership, systematic management, and value-based adaptation. The findings offer practical insights for Islamic educational institutions navigating the tension between modernization and tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the principal's managerial competence and teachers' competence on classroom management skills in public elementary schools in Banyuasin III District. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed. The sample comprised 35 teachers selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires and documentation. Analysis utilized descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). Findings indicate that the principal's managerial competence has a positive and significant effect on teachers' classroom management skills. Similarly, teachers' competence exerts a positive and significant effect on classroom management skills. Simultaneously, both variables demonstrate a positive and significant effect, confirming that they jointly predict effective classroom management. This study provides empirical evidence from a district-level elementary school context in Banyuasin III, demonstrating the combined predictive power of principal and teacher competencies on classroom management in an under-researched rural setting. Findings underscore the need for school administrators and district policymakers to invest in targeted professional development programs that strengthen both principal managerial capacity and teacher pedagogical competence to optimize classroom management outcomes. This research contributes actionable insights for educational stakeholders, affirming that classroom management effectiveness is substantially enhanced when leadership competence and teaching competence are developed synergistically, offering a foundational reference for capacity-building strategies in similar elementary education contexts.

Abstract

The effectiveness of educational leadership is crucial for sustaining teacher performance, yet evidence on servant leadership in Islamic educational institutions remains limited. This study examines how a madrasah principal implements servant leadership to support teacher performance at MTsN Kota Binjai, Indonesia, including its supporting conditions, challenges, and resolution strategies. Using a descriptive qualitative case study, data were collected from 15 purposively selected participants through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and institutional documentation. The findings reveal four interconnected practices: altruistic calling through responsiveness to teachers’ professional needs; community building through collaborative interaction; empowerment through delegation and professional autonomy; and persuasion through humanistic alignment with the madrasah vision. A familial organizational culture, transparent financial governance, and technology-adaptive younger teachers supported implementation. Key challenges included role disorientation among some senior teachers, possible misinterpretation of humanistic leadership as disciplinary leniency, bureaucratic constraints, and limited time for individualized interaction. The principal addressed these challenges through cross-generational peer mentoring, informal communication forums, tactical funding, and progressive discipline combining counseling with accountability. The study shows that servant leadership is most sustainable when empowerment is balanced with structured support, transparent resource management, and clear professional boundaries.
