Abstract

This study examines the constraints and strategies for enhancing Islamic financial inclusion in Central Java from the perspectives of supply and demand. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through Focus Group Discussions with five Islamic Rural Banks (BPRS) and surveys involving 66 MSMEs. Findings reveal seven supply-side constraints, including limited public and human resource literacy, absence of ATMs, restricted branch networks, limited capital, difficulties in customer segmentation, and inadequate socialization efforts. Meanwhile, six demand-side barriers were identified, such as limited awareness of BPRS, perceived complexity in financing requirements, and concerns over collateral and loan repayments. To address these issues, two strategies are proposed: 1) targeted socialization and education campaigns and 2) enhanced collaboration with community organizations and stakeholders. The study underscores the need for joint efforts by BPRS, MSMEs, and the government to improve infrastructure and accessibility, thereby fostering broader Islamic financial inclusion

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the comparison of the concept of the operational system of Islamic Social Financial Institutions such as the Micro Waqf Bank, Baznas Microfinance Village, and Infak Bank. The research method uses qualitative Conceptual Comparison Method. Data collection techniques using interviews and documentation. The results showed that the system concepts of three Indonesian Islamic social financial institutions are purely social from the aspects of status as a social institution, funding, financing, and distribution, and have many operational system similarities. However, there are differences in the sources of capital in the form of alms, zakat, waqf, general donations, and CSR which have become the responsibility of the company. In terms of type, the three institutions are classified as ethical banks or non-bank Islamic ethical financial institutions because they emphasize the purpose of their activities on outcomes and impact rather than profit at all. In terms of the cash waqf theory of capital resilience, the three institutions are less efficient from the aspect of business sustainability, because the amount is at risk of decreasing and will always depend on donations, where the funds are channeled to poor businesses that are at risk of inability to repay loans. The researcher recommends a commercial social financial institution model that is commercial in seeking profit, but social in profit distribution

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of digital technology on Human Resource Management at Islamic Banks in Batusangkar, both aspects of recruitment, performance appraisal, training and employee development. The research method uses mixed method with sequential exploratory model by combining qualitative and quantitative research methods sequentially. The first stage of the research was carried out qualitative methods and in the second stage quantitative. The results of this study indicate that digital technology has a significant influence on Islamic banking SDI management. Digital transformation not only increases efficiency and transparency, but also accelerates decision-making and improves workforce quality through technology-based training. However, for the impact of digitalization to be optimized, Islamic banking needs to adopt a decentralized strategy in SDI management and improve digital literacy for all employees. This will ensure that digital technology is not only a supporting tool, but also an integral part of a more innovative and adaptive SDI management strategy.

Abstract

Islamic banking in Indonesia has grown significantly, but its services remain unevenly distributed, especially in rural areas like Mandailing Natal Regency, where only 30% of residents access formal financial services (BPS, 2023). This study examines the role of Islamic banks in improving financial inclusion in Panyabungan City. Using a quantitative method and 100 respondents, data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed with PLS-SEM. Results show that financial literacy (β = 0.422; p = 0.000) and perception of Islamic banks (β = 0.493; p = 0.000) significantly affect financial inclusion, with R² = 0.647. Despite high account ownership, digital service use and financing remain low. Findings underscore the importance of strengthening financial literacy and expanding access to Islamic digital banking. Recommendations include targeted financial education and outreach strategies to enhance service utilization in underserved regions

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of funding and financing activities—specifically Mudharabah Savings, Mudharabah Deposits, and buying and selling transactions on the Falah Profit of Sharia Rural Banks (BPRS) in West Sumatra over the period from 2015 to 2023. Employing a descriptive quantitative methodology with panel data regression analysis, secondary data were collected from the official financial reports published on the OJK website, involving a purposive sample of 38 banks. The analysis reveals that both Mudharabah Savings and Mudharabah Deposits have a positive and statistically significant influence on Falah Profit, with regression coefficients indicating that an increase in these funding sources is associated with higher profitability. Conversely, buying and selling activities exhibit a positive but statistically insignificant effect on Falah Profit, suggesting a less direct impact in this context. The combined impact of these variables explains approximately 82.68% of the variation in Falah Profit, illustrating their substantial role in shaping bank performance. These findings imply that strategic enhancement of Mudharabah-based funding mechanisms can effectively boost profitability, contributing to the stability and growth of Sharia banking institutions in the region. The study thus emphasizes the importance of Islamic financial products and funding schemes in driving sustainable bank performance aligned with Sharia principles

Abstract

This research aims to determine the influence of competence and perception on fresh graduate syndrome working in sharia banking for students of the Sharia Banking Study Program at UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar. The type of research used is quantitative research with data collection techniques using questionnaires. The results of this research show that the competency of sharia banking alumni influences fresh graduate syndrome working in sharia banking. Students need to develop various relevant competencies during the study period to minimize the impact of the syndrome of working in sharia banking. Competencies that new graduates must have include mastery of sharia banking knowledge, technical banking skills, financial analysis skills. Apart from increasing competence, forming a positive perception of the sharia banking industry also plays an important role in preparing students to face the world of work. Simultaneously, the competence and perception of Islamic banking alumni at the State Islamic University Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar influence the fresh graduate syndrome working in sharia banking. By combining competency development and forming positive perceptions, students will be ready to face the challenges of the world of work and can reduce the risk of fresh graduate syndrome and increase opportunities for career success in the sharia banking industry
