Abstract

Traders in traditional markets often exhibit behaviors that contradict Islamic business ethics. Therefore, the actions of such traders are influenced by Islamic business ethics. This study focuses on how traders understand these ethics and behave based on them. This study employed a qualitative methodology. A purposive sampling technique was used to select informants. Respondents were selected based on factors relevant to the research objectives. The data collection methods were interview, observation, and documentation. The results show that traders' perceptions of Islamic business ethics are evident in their trading practices. They know how to trade in accordance with these ethics. Additionally, the majority of traders in the market have applied Islamic business ethics. Traders use the five principles of Islamic business ethics: tawhid, balance, free will, responsibility, and ihsan. However, some traders do not follow these ethics. Examples include not praying at the time of entry, treating buyers differently, and selling poor-quality goods.

Abstract

The Shopee Express Hub in Banda Aceh faces challenges in improving employee productivity and work quality. Variables such as compensation (salary and incentives), motivation (internal and external), and work discipline (adherence to rules and responsibilities for tasks) are considered significant factors in influencing employee performance. This study was conducted using a quantitative approach through the collection of primary data via a questionnaire distributed to Shopee Express Hub employees in Banda Aceh. The data analysis technique used was multiple regression to test the research hypotheses, and the data was processed using SPSS version 22. Based on the results of the study conducted using a t-test, it was concluded that compensation does not significantly influence employee performance. However, motivation was found to significantly influence employee performance, while work discipline also showed a significant impact on performance. Furthermore, the results of the F-test indicate that compensation, motivation, and work discipline simultaneously influence employee performance. Based on these findings, the researcher provides the following suggestions: the company should increase its attention toward employees by providing additional compensation as a form of recognition for their dedication, which can further motivate them to work harder. For the employees themselves, discipline is a very important factor in creating a healthy work environment. Therefore, awareness of company rules must be improved to foster better organizational performance.

Abstract

This study examines the mediating role of positive emotional involvement in the relationship between visual merchandising and impulsive buying among Shopee users in Banda Aceh. In the era of rapidly growing e-commerce, visual merchandising has become a crucial strategy to attract consumers attention and influence unplanned purchasing decisions. However, consumer behavior is not solely shaped by external stimuli but also by emotional factors that drive responses to online shopping experiences. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 105 respondents through purposive sampling, and mediation regression analysis was performed using SPSS. The findings indicate that visual merchandising has a significant effect on impulsive buying and that positive emotional involvement serves as a full mediator in this relationship. This means that consumer emotions play a central role in transforming the appeal of visual displays into actual purchase behavior. The study provides both theoretical and practical contributions, emphasizing the importance of emotional engagement in strengthening marketing effectiveness within e-commerce platforms.
