Abstract

Introduction: The rapid development of digital technology has transformed the way customers interact with banking services, including within the Islamic banking sector. While previous studies have predominantly focused on technological determinants of digital banking adoption, limited attention has been given to the integration of Islamic value internalization and digital culture in explaining customer behavior. This study aims to examine the relationship between digital culture and the internalization of Islamic values in shaping Islamic banking customer behavior in the digital era. Research Methods: This research employs a qualitative approach based on a literature review of relevant scientific articles. The analysis integrates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT2) framework with key Islamic value dimensions, including trust, Sharia compliance, transparency, and fairness. Through thematic analysis, the study develops an integrative conceptual framework that explains the interaction between technological and value-based factors in influencing customer behavior. Conclusion: The findings indicate that the adoption of digital banking services is influenced not only by technological factors such as perceived usefulness, ease of use, and service quality, but also by the internalization of Islamic values that shape customer trust, satisfaction, and loyalty. Digital culture serves as a contextual force that accelerates behavioral change and reinforce value based decision making. The study proposes the concept of digital value hybrid behavior, reflecting the integration of technological rationality and normative rationality.

Abstract

Introduction: This study aims to develop the ShariaLearn educational application and analyze its effectiveness in improving students’ Islamic banking literacy. Research Methods: This study employed the Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). Data were collected through expert validation as well as pre-test and post-test results from students of MAN 1 Ngawi, which were then analyzed using a paired sample t-test. Results: The findings indicate that ShariaLearn was successfully developed by providing comprehensive materials on the principles, contracts, and products of Islamic banking. Empirical findings confirmed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores, indicating that the use of interactive digital media can overcome students’ low contextual understanding. Conclusion: The ShariaLearn application is effective as an independent learning medium. Its implication is that the integration of technology into school curricula can accelerate the improvement of Islamic financial literacy among the younger generation.

Abstract

Introduction: The rapid growth of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia has increased the demand for competent and career-ready human resources. However, job mismatch remains a significant challenge, as data from the National Committee for Islamic Economics and Finance (KNEKS) show that around 90% of workers in the industry do not come from Islamic economics or banking backgrounds. While previous studies have widely examined the influence of internships on work readiness and job interest, limited attention has been given to how internship experiences shape students’ career efficacy in the Islamic banking sector. This study aims to explore the role of student internship activities in enhancing career efficacy and shaping interest in working in the Islamic banking industry. Research Methods: This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with field research methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving Islamic Banking students at UIN Kiai Ageng Muhammad Besari Ponorogo who had completed internship programs in Islamic banking institutions. Results: The findings reveal that internships provide direct exposure to both internal and external banking operations, enabling students to develop practical skills and professional understanding. The main factors contributing to the development of career efficacy include mastery experiences, the presence of professional role models, verbal persuasion from mentors, and emotional management during workplace challenges. The study also found that internship experiences not only strengthen students’ interest in pursuing careers in Islamic banking but also help clarify career preferences when students perceive a mismatch with the industry. Conclusion: Internship experiences play an important role in shaping students’ career efficacy and career interests in the Islamic banking industry. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting internships not only as a medium for career efficacy development but also as a process of career clarification, helping students make more informed career decisions.

Abstract

Introduction: This study analyzes the effectiveness of the Marketing Public Relations (MPR) strategy in shaping the image of funding products at Bank Muamalat KCP Ponorogo. The study was motivated by the decline in the number of funding customers in 2025 despite the implementation of various Marketing Public Relations activities. Research Methods: This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving the Sub-Branch Manager, Funding Relationship Manager, Customer Service staff, and funding product customers of Bank Muamalat KCP Ponorogo. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation. Results: The findings indicate that Bank Muamalat KCP Ponorogo has implemented Marketing Public Relations through seven main tools proposed by Kotler, namely publications, events, sponsorships, news, speeches, public service activities, and identity media. These activities have contributed positively to the image of funding products by increasing customer understanding, creating favorable perceptions, and highlighting the uniqueness of Islamic banking products. However, based on the evaluation model of Cutlip, Center, and Broom, the implementation of Marketing Public Relations has not been fully effective, particularly in encouraging sustainable customer behavior. Conclusion: Marketing Public Relations has succeeded in creating a positive image of funding products but has not been able to consistently maintain customer engagement and long-term usage. Therefore, additional strategies are needed to strengthen customer loyalty and sustain funding product utilization.

Abstract

Introduction: this research is motivated by the fluctuation of probability (ROA) in Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia, which is influenced by capital conditions, financing quality, and operational efficiency. ROA stability serves as a crucial indicator in assessing bank performance; thus, empirical analysis is required to determine the effect of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non Performing Financing (NPF), and Operating Expenses to Operating Income (OEOI/BOPO). Research Methods: this study employs a quantitative of five Islamic commercial banks (BUS) during period of 2017-2024. The analysis technique used is panel data regression via Eviews9 software, involving model section stages through the Chow test and Hausman Test. Based on the test result, the Random Effect Model (REM) was selected as the best model Results and Conclusion: indicate that partially, CAR does not have a significant effect on ROA, meanwhile NPF and OEOI/BOPO has a significant negative effect on ROA. Simultaneously, CAR, NPF, and OEOI/BOPO significantly affect ROA with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0,542, indicating that 54,2% of the variation in ROA can be explained by these three variables, while the remaining 45,8% is influenced by factor outside this research.

Abstract

Introduction: This study examines the effect of murabahah, mudharabah, musyarakah, and ijarah financing on the profitability of Bank Muamalat Indonesia during 2015–2024. Profitability is an important indicator in measuring the effectiveness of Islamic bank performance in managing productive assets. However, the increase in financing distribution is not always followed by an increase in profitability, creating a gap between theory and empirical facts. Research Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from Bank Muamalat Indonesia financial reports for the 2015–2024 period. The analysis technique uses multiple linear regression with classical assumption tests, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. Results: The results indicate that murabahah, mudharabah, and musyarakah financing have a positive and significant effect on profitability, while ijarah financing has a negative and significant effect on profitability. Simultaneously, all financing variables significantly affect profitability.Conclusion: Financing management has an important role in improving Islamic bank profitability. Therefore, Islamic banks need to optimize financing quality and operational efficiency to improve financial performance sustainably.

Abstract

Introduction: This article investigates the influence of attitudes and risk perceptions on investment decisions in shares of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BRIS). Research Methods: Employing a quantitative methodology, primary data were collected via a 1–4 Likert scale questionnaire. The research population consisted of 1,017 members of the “Syariah Saham” WhatsApp Group, from which a purposive sample of 91 respondents was drawn. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. Results: The findings demonstrate that attitudes exert a positive and significant impact on investment decisions in BRIS shares. Similarly, risk perception is shown to have a positive and significant influence on investment decisions. Jointly, attitudes and risk perception significantly affect investment decision-making in BRIS shares. The coefficient of determination (R²) reveals that the model accounts for 64.9% of the variance in investment decisions. These results underscore the necessity of fostering positive attitudes and enhancing risk literacy to promote participation in sharia-compliant equity investments.

Abstract

Introduction: This paper examines the structural transformation of the Islamic banking industry in Indonesia following the enactment of Law No. 4 of 2023 (UU P2SK) and OJK Regulation (POJK) No. 12/2023, which shifts the spin-off paradigm from a time-based to an asset-based threshold. The study examines the institutional and shariah governance challenges faced by Bank Syariah Nasional in regional markets. Research Methods: Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical case study design, this research investigates managerial autonomy and shariah governance at the BSN Surabaya Capital Branch. Data were collected through triangulation of in-depth interviews, passive participatory observations, and documentation. Results: The findings reveal that the spin-off establishes a direct reporting line to corporate directors, yet the branch’s operational autonomy remains semi-autonomous due to its dependency on the conventional parent bank’s shared IT infrastructure. A gap also persists between formal administrative compliance and substantive shariah compliance, as daily practices remain dominated by murabahah financing using conventional interest rate benchmarks (BI-Rate). Conclusion: The transitional phase of banking spin-offs creates tensions between formal independence and functional dependency. Without strategic interventions in corporate culture and product innovation based on genuine risk-sharing, pseudo-shariah compliance may reduce customer trust and encourage switching behavior among urban Muslim consumers.
