Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the efficiency of Islamic Public Financing Banks (BPRS) in Bengkulu and Lampung Provinces during 2019–2023 by examining two BPRS in Bengkulu and four BPRS in Lampung with the largest assets and operating for more than five years.Design/methodology: This research employs a quantitative approach using financial reports of BPRS in both provinces. Samples were determined through purposive sampling based on asset size and operational period. Efficiency was measured using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, which applies a linear programming system to construct a non-parametric frontier. The input variables were Third-Party Funds (DPK) and Operational Costs, while the output variables consisted of Fixed Assets, Financing, and Operational Income..Findings: The results indicate that several BPRS experienced inefficiencies. In Bengkulu, BPRS Maslahat Dana Syariah Nusantara was inefficient in 2022 due to high operational costs (+10.03%), low financing (-84.20%), and reduced operational income (-78.36%) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Lampung, inefficiency was found in BPRS Kota Bumi (2019) due to high costs (-12.13%) and suboptimal financing and income; BPRS Metro Madani (2021–2022) due to rising costs (+4.51%) and mismatched financing growth; and BPRS Lampung Timur (2020) due to declining income (-4.91%). Overall, Lampung BPRS demonstrated higher efficiency, with an average score of 0.85 compared to Bengkulu’s 0.70, attributed to broader market access and stronger financial performance in urban-based BPRS.Practical Implication: The study highlights key challenges affecting BPRS efficiency, such as frequent regulatory changes and the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Strengthening fund allocation, improving cost management, and leveraging government policies on financial inclusion can enhance efficiency and market competitiveness.Originality/Value: This research provides new insights into the efficiency of BPRS in Bengkulu and Lampung by comparing their performance within a regional context. The findings underscore the strategic role of BPRS in supporting financial inclusion and ensuring compliance with sharia principles, while offering recommendations for improving operational sustainability

Abstract

Purpose:This article examines the development of waqf for higher education studies from five perspectives: (1) research development and distribution; (2) research topics; (3) main contributors; (4) recent collaboration patterns; and (5) most influential documents in waqf for higher education literature.Design/Methodology:This study involved a comprehensive bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review, which were utilized to examine 162 documents related to waqf for higher education that were published between 2012 and 2024. The data processing was facilitated by Publish or Perish, Microsoft Excel, and VOSviewer software.Findings:Despite the long-standing existence of waqf literature, the focus on waqf for higher education was not identified until 2012 (RQ1). We identified eight distinct clusters of research topics: community welfare, waqf models for higher education, waqf in Malaysia, good management, practice, alternative sources, cash management, and waqf knowledge (RQ2). A subsequent analysis of the authorship and affiliation patterns revealed a preponderance of researchers based in Malaysia across all categories (RQ3, RQ4, RQ5).Practical Implications:Future research topics on waqf for higher education should be limited to conceptual studies or literature reviews, with a focus on best practices in universities, collaborative financing or subsidies, waqf sustainability, and waqf in the Western world.Originality/Value:This article boasts a more extensive database than previous studies, thus ensuring a more robust foundation for future research. Moreover, given the paucity of literature on the subject, it is imperative to continue documenting the evolution of waqf for higher education literature.

Abstract

Purpose:Understanding the factors that influence financial well-being is important for promoting financial sustainability, especially amid economic uncertainty that requires effective and planned management. Such financial management requires adequate Islamic financial literacy, positive financial attitudes, and appropriate financial behavior.Design/Methodology:This study investigates the mediating role of financial behavior in the relationship between Islamic financial literacy, financial attitudes, and financial well-being. Using a quantitative design, data were collected from 100 civil servant teachers in Agam Regency, Indonesia, through a structured questionnaire. The sample was determined using the Slovin formula and selected through simple random sampling. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling PLS-SEM 4 was used for data analysis.Findings:The findings show that Islamic financial literacy does not directly affect financial well-being but indirectly through financial behavior. Financial attitudes have a significant direct influence on financial well-being, while their indirect influence through financial behavior is not supported. These results underscore the important role of financial behavior as a mechanism linking financial knowledge to better financial outcomes.Practical Implications:This study offers meaningful implications for financial education programs and policy interventions focused on developing long-term financial resilience.Originality/Value:This study offers a novel perspective on understanding financial well-being by positioning Islamic financial literacy as a foundational approach. It not only addresses the limitations of previous research that primarily focused on conventional financial literacy, but also provides a more contextually relevant understanding for communities that manage their finances based on Sharia principles.

Abstract

Purpose: Despite advancements in digital infrastructure, the adoption of digital zakat platforms among Indonesian muzakki remains uneven. This study aims to investigate the determinants influencing muzakki’s intention and behavior in adopting digital zakat payment platforms by extending the UTAUT model through the integration of electronic trust (e-trust) and personal innovativeness in technology (PIT), offering a context-specific perspective within Islamic philanthropy.Design/methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach. An online questionnaire was distributed using purposive sampling to Indonesian Muslims with experience or awareness of digital zakat platforms. A total of 338 muzakki were collected from 32 Indonesian provinces. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed model and hypotheses.Findings: The findings indicate that performance expectancy and social influence have a significant and positive impact on the intention to pay zakat digitally. Furthermore, intention significantly predicts actual usage behaviour, with this relationship being positively moderated by personal innovativeness in technology. However, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions and e-trust are found to have no significant effect on intention.Practical Implication: The study offers practical insights for zakat institutions (e.g. BAZNAS and LAZNAS), platform developers and policymakers. Promoting digital literacy, engaging religious leaders ansocial influencers and designing inclusive, user-friendly platforms are essential to enhance participation. Cultivating individual openness to technology is also critical for sustaining digital zakat behaviour. Although e-trust was not found to significantly influence intention, maintaining platform transparency, credibility and reliability remains crucial for fostering long-term user confidence and acceptance.Originality/Value: This study contributes to Islamic marketing and digital philanthropy literature by extending the UTAUT model by incorporating e-trust and PIT in the context of digital zakat. he findings provide a novel perspective on technology acceptance in faith-based financial ecosystems, particularly in Muslim-majority countries undergoing rapid digital transformation
