Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study aims to examine the role of digital waqf platforms in promoting community sustainability by applying the Expectation-Confirmation Technology Model (ECTM), with a focus on understanding the factors influencing users’ continued intention to donate. This research addresses a critical need to understand user behavior in the context of religious-based digital philanthropy. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a structured online survey to collect data from 798 respondents across major regions in Indonesia. The study integrates key constructs of the ECTM, including satisfaction, trust, and continued intention. Data analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings ‒ The results indicate that confirmation has the strongest positive effect on both user satisfaction and trust, which in turn significantly influence the intention to continue donating. System quality and information quality indirectly affect continued intention through the mediating roles of satisfaction and trust. Originality/Value ‒ This research extends the application of the ECTM to the domain of digital waqf, offering novel insights into the behavioral mechanisms driving donor engagement within religious digital finance. It highlights the critical role of trust and satisfaction as mediators in sustaining user participation. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The findings are based on data from Indonesia, which may limit generalizability to other cultural or religious contexts. Future studies could explore cross-cultural comparisons. Practical Implications ‒ The study provides actionable recommendations for digital waqf platform developers, waqf institutions, and policymakers to enhance platform quality, transparency, and user experience, thereby supporting broader financial inclusion and community development aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study investigates how religiosity and web quality influence repurchase intention in halal e-commerce through the mediating roles of trust and commitment, addressing the unique religious and cultural context of Muslim consumers. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A quantitative approach was employed using PLS-SEM, with data collected from 656 Indonesian halal e-commerce users via convenience and snowball sampling. Constructs were measured using validated scales on a six-point Likert scale. Findings ‒ Religiosity and web quality significantly enhance trust and all commitment dimensions. Trust is the strongest predictor of repurchase intention, followed by affective and cognitive commitment; normative commitment showed no significant effect. Trust also serves as the dominant mediator between antecedents and repurchase intention. Originality/Value ‒ The study extends the Expectation Confirmation Technology Model (ECTM) by integrating religiosity as a key affective antecedent, offering novel insights into loyalty formation in faith-based digital markets. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ Findings are limited to Indonesian consumers and a cross-sectional design. Future studies should adopt probability sampling, longitudinal designs, and diverse cultural contexts.Practical Implications ‒ Halal e-commerce platforms should prioritize trust-building with religious values to foster long-term purchase behavior.

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study aims to systematically review and meta-analyze the impact of Islamic religiosity on purchase intention, addressing existing gaps in understanding its multidimensional nature and measurement inconsistencies. Given the growing significance of Muslim consumer markets, the research seeks to provide a comprehensive and statistically robust assessment of how religiosity influences consumer decision-making, particularly in relation to halal products and Islamic financial services. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis were conducted using 66 Scopus-indexed, peer-reviewed quantitative studies published between 2000 and 2024. The random-effects model was employed to synthesize effect sizes, accounting for potential variability across studies. Data were analyzed using Jamovi, with assessments of heterogeneity (I², Q-test), publication bias (Egger’s regression, Fail-Safe N), and equivalence testing (TOST) to ensure robustness. Findings ‒ Islamic religiosity has a significant and positive effect on purchase intention, with minimal heterogeneity indicating consistency across studies. Intrinsic religiosity emerges as a stronger predictor than extrinsic religiosity, especially in contexts involving halal-certified products and Islamic financial practices. Publication bias was found to be non-significant, reinforcing the reliability of the findings Originality/Value ‒ This is the first meta-analysis to quantitatively synthesize the relationship between Islamic religiosity and purchase intention, offering a unified estimate of effect size and highlighting the need for Sharia-compliant religiosity scales. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The study is limited to English-language articles and relies on adapted religiosity measures originally designed for non-Muslim populations, potentially affecting construct validity. Practical Implications ‒ Marketers and policymakers can leverage these insights to design faith-aligned branding, communication, and product development strategies that resonate with devout Muslim consumers.

Abstract

ABSTRACTPurpose ‒ This study aims to examine the influence of Islamic religiosity and food quality on repurchase intention among Muslim consumers in Indonesia, with a focus on the mediating roles of customer commitment and perceived value. Given Indonesia’s status as the world’s largest Muslim-majority country, understanding how religious values shape consumer behavior is crucial for businesses targeting this demographic. The research addresses a significant gap in existing literature by exploring how Islamic religiosity, often inconsistently applied in consumer behavior models, directly and indirectly drives repurchase decisions through value-based and relational mechanisms.Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a survey of 2069 Muslim consumers across Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM), allowing for the examination of complex relationships among constructs. Validated multi-item scales were adapted from prior studies to measure Islamic religiosity, food quality, customer commitment, perceived value, and repurchase intention.Findings ‒ The results confirm that Islamic religiosity significantly enhances both customer commitment and perceived value, which in turn positively influence repurchase intention. Food quality also strongly impacts commitment and perceived value. Perceived value and customer commitment fully mediate the effects of religiosity and food quality on repurchase intention, with perceived value emerging as a critical driver.Originality/Value ‒ This study uniquely integrates Islamic religiosity into the Trust and Commitment Theory framework, offering a culturally grounded model for understanding consumer behavior in Muslim-majority markets.Research Limitations/Implications ‒ Findings are limited to Indonesian Muslims; future research should explore cross-cultural applicability.Practical Implications ‒ Businesses should align products with Islamic values, ensure halal integrity, and emphasize quality to strengthen perceived value and foster long-term customer commitment.

Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the psychosocial mechanisms underlying guest satisfaction in social hub and co-living hotels in Indonesia, with a focus on the mediating roles of resilience, engagement, and social presence. Grounded in an integrated framework of Relational Systems Theory (RST) and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), it explores how self-efficacy influences guest satisfaction through these psychosocial pathways whitin hybrid living-service environments. Design/Methodology/Approach – A quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with LISREL to analyze data from 525 guests in co-living spaces located in Jakarta, Bali, and Yogyakarta. The model tested direct and indirect effects of self-efficacy on satisfaction via resilience, engagement, and social presence, using validated multi-item scales and bootstrapping for mediation analysis. Findings – Self-efficacy significantly enhances resilience, engagement, and social presence. However, only engagement and social presence were found to mediate the path to satisfaction, with social presence exhibiting the strongest direct and indirect effects. Resilience, despite being predicted by self-efficacy, does not significantly influence satisfaction, challenging conventional assumptions regarding its role in well-being. Originality/Value – This research offers a novel theoretical integration of RST and SCT, redefining satisfaction as an emergent, relational outcome rather than a function of individual coping. It highlights the primacy of social connection over psychological endurance in transient living environments. Practical Implications – Operators should prioritize community-building, inclusive programming, and relational service design to enhance engagement and social presence, ultimately driving guest satisfaction in co-living ecosystems.

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study examines factors shaping urban Indonesians’ intentions and behaviors toward online loan apps amid rising illegal lending, with over 8,200 complaints filed to OJK in early 2024. It extends UTAUT2 by substituting facilitating conditions with perceived behavioral control (PBC) and adding social influence and source trustworthiness. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ Data from 267 urban respondents were collected via purposive, convenience, and snowball sampling and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The measurement model was validated for reliability and validity; Harman’s test confirmed no severe common method bias. Findings ‒ Results indicate that habit, hedonic motivation, social influence, and price value are significant predictors of intention and actual use, with habit emerging as the strongest driver. Effort expectancy, performance expectancy, and PBC show no direct effects on intention. Social influence significantly shapes habit, hedonic motivation, and PBC. Originality/Value ‒ This study is one of the first to apply an extended UTAUT2 to informal online lending in Indonesia, offering a more comprehensive view of user agency. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ Findings are limited to urban cross-sectional data, restricting generalizability. Broader longitudinal studies are encouraged. Practical Implications ‒ Policymakers and developers should foster habitual use, leverage social networks, and ensure transparent, affordable pricing to support responsible lending

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study investigates how perceived risk shapes public distrust toward the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG) through the mediating roles of rational decision-making, self-control, and psychological fatigue. It aims to explain the cognitive and emotional mechanisms underlying public skepticism toward government welfare initiatives, addressing a theoretical and empirical gap in understanding distrust formation. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 384 parent respondents whose children participated in the Free Nutritious Meals Program (MBG). A purposive non-probability sampling technique was employed and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine both direct and indirect relationships among perceived risk, rational decision-making, self-control, fatigue, and distrust behavior. Findings ‒ The results reveal that perceived risk significantly increases rational decision-making, self-control, and fatigue. Rational decision-making and fatigue positively mediate the relationship between perceived risk and distrust, while self-control shows no significant effect. These findings highlight that cognitive evaluation and emotional depletion jointly drive public distrust. Originality/Value ‒ This research integrates risk perception, rational choice, and self-regulation theories to propose a dual-path model of distrust, combining cognitive and affective mechanisms often overlooked in prior studies. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The cross-sectional design limits causal interpretation, and self-reported data may introduce bias. Practical Implications ‒ The findings emphasize the need for balanced risk communication, reduced cognitive overload, and transparent governance to strengthen public trust in welfare programs.

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study investigates how aesthetic presentation, authenticity, and fear of missing out (FOMO) influence Muslim travellers’ information adoption regarding UNESCO-recognized heritage foods. It also examines the mediating role of review credibility and the moderating role of halal tourism motivation within the frameworks of the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) model and the Information Adoption Model (IAM). Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A quantitative explanatory design using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to 372 valid responses from Muslim travellers who had engaged with online reviews of heritage foods. The analysis tested direct, mediating, and moderating relationships among the study variables. Findings ‒ The results show that aesthetic presentation, authenticity, and FOMO significantly enhance review credibility, which in turn strongly predicts information adoption. Authenticity exerts the strongest influence on both credibility and adoption, while aesthetic cues and FOMO affect adoption only indirectly through credibility. Halal tourism motivation positively affects information adoption but does not moderate the credibility–adoption relationship. Originality/Value ‒ This research integrates visual, cultural, and psychological cues into a unified digital trust model, advancing theoretical understanding of credibility formation in halal heritage food tourism and providing empirical insight into how Muslim travellers interpret online review cues about UNESCO-recognized traditional foods. Research Limitations/Implications ‒ The study focuses on Muslim travellers and heritage foods; future research may explore other tourism contexts and use longitudinal or experimental designs. Practical Implications ‒ Destination marketers and heritage food promoters should design authentic, visually coherent, and halal-assured digital content to strengthen review credibility and encourage information adoption among Muslim travellers.

Abstract

Purpose ‒ This study examines how source credibility, micro-influencer engagement, and parasocial interaction shape information adoption in digital culinary consumption within an urban style center, emphasizing perceived risk as a key mediating mechanism. It addresses whether relational cues or diagnostic credibility signals more strongly drive risk evaluation in highly ambiguous, trend-driven culinary environments. Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ A quantitative survey of 384 active users of digital culinary platforms in an Indonesian urban style center was conducted. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling in SPSS to assess direct, indirect, and risk-mediated effects based on Signaling Theory and Uncertainty Reduction Theory. Findings ‒ Source credibility emerges as the strongest predictor of information adoption, both directly and through reduced perceived risk. Unexpectedly, micro-influencer cues and parasocial interaction increase perceived risk and do not directly enhance adoption, indicating that relational closeness and authenticity may trigger skepticism when consumers prioritize objective quality assurance. Originality/Value ‒ The study identifies key boundary conditions in influencer effectiveness, showing that in high-stakes lifestyle domains like food, diagnostic credibility outweighs relational appeal. It advances theoretical integration by clarifying how risk mediates signal–behavior linkages in digital consumption. Practical Implications ‒ Culinary brands should prioritize communicators with verifiable expertise and transparent review practices, while platforms should reinforce credibility-based signals to reduce consumer uncertainty
