Abstract

Today's younger generation tends to embrace freedom in their pursuits while actively developing their skills. This study investigates the factors influencing Indonesian students' intentions to become entrepreneurs from Islamic personality and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The research examines how Islamic personality and self-belief in entrepreneurial abilities impact students' desire to start their own businesses. Universities are increasingly equipping students with entrepreneurial skills to foster job creation. By employing quantitative methods, for minimum sampling, use the green method, including a survey of 195 students, ANOVA for hypothesis testing, and a multiple linear regression equation to get a model. The study found a correlation between Islamic personality, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial intentions, with the biggest correlation between entrepreneurial self-efficacy with entrepreneurial intention. The results suggest that individuals with a stronger Islamic personality and greater confidence in their entrepreneurial capabilities are more likely to pursue entrepreneurship. The biggest impact from each dimension of each variable is syahadah from Islamic personality, build a relationship with the investor from entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and plan to start from entrepreneurial intention.

Abstract

This study examines how coffee shops in Bandung implement the Triple Layered Business Model Canvas (TLBMC) to balance profitability with ecological stewardship and social responsibility. Its primary aim is to simultaneously highlight the core factors enabling such establishments to thrive within economic, environmental, and social dimensions. Employing a qualitative method, the research collects data from interviews and detailed on-site observations. The findings indicate that revenue diversification and efficient resource management result in economic benefits, while environmentally conscious initiatives such as local sourcing, composting practices, and reusable packaging reduce costs and enhance public image. Social engagement through staff development programs, community events, and transparent supply chain practices fosters greater customer loyalty and a positive brand reputation. The synergy among these three layers demonstrates the potential of the TLBMC framework to support holistic value creation, even for small-scale enterprises with limited resources. In conclusion, the study provides practical evidence that adopting a TLBMC-centered strategy can yield multiple tangible and intangible gains, thereby encouraging broader sustainability transformations in local coffee shop contexts. These findings underscore the value of integrating economic, environmental, and social considerations as a cohesive framework for fostering long-term business resilience and community well-being. However, this study is limited to coffee shops within a single urban context, which may reduce the generalizability of the findings. Future research could expand the geographical scope or employ longitudinal designs to strengthen the study’s broader applicability.

Abstract

Global financial markets, including Islamic stock markets, are highly sensitive to macroeconomic conditions. Understanding the relationship between macroeconomic factors and stock indices is crucial for investors and policymakers to anticipate market fluctuations. This study examines how macroeconomic variables affect the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII).  This study employs path analysis using data from January 2013 to December, with the gold price serving as the mediating variable. The results show that interest rate, exchange rate, unemployment rate, and price of gold significantly affect the Jakarta Islamic Index price index, both directly and indirectly. The consumer price index, however, only has an indirect influence on the Jakarta Islamic Index. In addition, the gold price is proven to partially mediate the association between macroeconomic factors and the Jakarta Islamic Index. All macroeconomic variables also significantly affect the gold price. This study enriches the insights of previous literature. In addition, this study provides recommendations for investors and policymakers to give more attention to macroeconomic factors that may affect the stock market.

Abstract

Wakatobi holds considerable potential in the sustainable blue economy, particularly in the fisheries sector. However, only 6.4% of its annual capture fisheries potential has been utilized, despite recent export milestones. This study employed a qualitative methodology using a systems thinking approach to explore the key determinants influencing fish exports in Wakatobi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and secondary sources, and were analyzed using causal loop diagrams (CLD) to map systemic interactions and identify leverage points. The findings revealed that outdated port infrastructure, insufficient cold storage, limited transportation access, and inadequate post-harvest handling were the main barriers to export readiness. Additionally, gaps in policy coordination and fisher training contributed to poor fish quality and limited market access. The study concluded that addressing these interconnected issues through integrated policies, investment in cold chain infrastructure, and capacity-building initiatives is critical for improving the competitiveness of Wakatobi’s fishery exports. This research offers a systemic perspective for designing sustainable interventions that align economic growth with ecological preservation.

Abstract

The financial literacy and inclusion of Indonesia remain low index, including the takeful awareness. This fact is noteworthy given that Indonesia is a Muslim-majority country and is a highly active user of social media.  This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic financial literacy, religiosity, and social media on Indonesians’ intention to purchase takeful. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the survey data to determine the roles of financial literacy level, social media, and religiosity in takeful purchase intentions. The study involved 149 respondents who intend to purchase takaful products and services in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia. The findings of this study empirically show that the intention to purchase takaful in Indonesia is likely initiated by the level of (islamic) financial literacy. Those who are familiar with takaful products and their benefits are more likely to purchase them. Moreover, the emotional appeal of the market remains a significant factor for Islamic products. Religiosity is a key factor in offering the takeful product to the public, while social media is identified as an effective channel for introducing these products and influencing individual purchasing intentions. This study suggests that the takeful industry and stakeholders must collaborate to intensify efforts to enhance Islamic financial literacy. While religiosity is a crucial element, the industry should also prioritize the value and benefit of takeful products. Furthermore, social media is also an important medium to introduce products and make the public engage with takeful products.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and optimism on business resilience among Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Pasar Jaya Pasar Rumput. The selected site represents a vulnerable urban business environment affected by redevelopment projects, making it a relevant context for exploring the dynamics of entrepreneurship and sustainable development. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 185 respondents who manage MSMEs in Pasar Jaya Pasar Rumput through a questionnaire. Analysis was carried out using SEM with SmartPLS software. The results obtained from this research show that self-esteem, self-efficacy, and optimism have a positive and significant effect on business resilience in MSMEs in Pasar Jaya Pasar Rumput. The results support the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. This research offers a novel contribution by integrating psychological capital into the discourse of entrepreneurial resilience within the broader sustainability framework. The practical implications suggest the need for empowerment programs that include psychological development to strengthen long-term business sustainability. Policymakers are encouraged to incorporate psychological resource training into MSME support strategies to promote resilience and inclusive economic growth in uncertain urban environments

Abstract

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has evolved from an optional practice to an ethical imperative, particularly in today's competitive market where it significantly influences brand image and reputation. This study primarily examined the consumer awareness and perception on CSR initiatives of gasoline companies in Cavite, Philippines. A descriptive and narrative research design was employed using 300 consumers which was purposively selected. The study revealed that participants have a basic understanding of CSR initiatives, but lacks in-depth knowledge, particularly in community development and environmental sustainability. While demographic factors (age, sex, civil status, and education) showed weak, yet statistically significant, correlations with CSR awareness, their practical significance was minimal. Critically, price remained the dominant factor in gasoline purchasing decisions, despite qualitative feedback highlighting the importance of community-focused CSR initiatives (e.g., education, social welfare) in shaping positive brand image and trust. This suggests a disconnect between awareness and action, where CSR is valued but price drives purchasing. The study concludes that gasoline companies can leverage community-focused CSR to enhance reputation and build consumer relationships, even in price-sensitive markets. Further research should explore effective CSR communication strategies and how to translate awareness into purchasing behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the simultaneous effects of corporate image and product innovation on customer decision-making in the context of Islamic banking. Focusing on PT Bank Syariah Indonesia, Branch Palangkaraya, the study draws data from 100 respondents using a structured questionnaire and applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationships among key variables. The results indicate that both corporate image and product innovation have a significant and positive impact on customer decisions, with product innovation exhibiting a slightly stronger effect. Together, these two variables explain 76.8% of the variance in customer decision-making, indicating a robust model. These findings emphasize the strategic role of corporate reputation and continuous product innovation in influencing consumer behavior in the Islamic financial sector. The research provides empirical evidence that integrating reputational elements, such as professionalism, trust, and Shariah compliance, with innovative offerings enhances customer engagement and decision-making. This is particularly relevant in today’s competitive banking landscape, where customers are increasingly influenced by the availability of modern financial services and strong brand credibility. The study makes important contributions to both theory and practice. Theoretically, it enriches the strategic management literature by presenting a dual-variable approach that addresses a gap in Islamic banking research, where corporate image and innovation have often been studied in isolation. Practically, the study offers actionable insights for banking practitioners and policymakers aiming to boost customer acquisition and loyalty through integrated branding and innovation strategies. The context of Palangkaraya also adds value by highlighting consumer behavior in a growing yet under-researched regional market.

Abstract

The leading commodity of forest coffee is a strategic opportunity for the local economy's strength. This study uses a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach that combines a qualitative approach with participatory action as part of an effort to increase the role of coffee as the competitive advantage of Mekarmanik Village in Bandung Regency. Identifying the business model using the Hijrah Tool Business Model approach indicates that this business has a promising business model. The main sources of strength of the coffee business are the geographical aspects that impact the quality of coffee with unique flavors, social capital, strategic partnerships through the role of cooperatives, and skilled human resources. The limitation of coffee commodity development as the village's leading commodity is related to area development, which is mostly in protected forest areas, a lack of accessibility, particularly connectivity (infrastructure), a lack of product marketing, high dependency on middlemen, and managerial obstacles. This study recommends a triple-helix approach that involves coffee farmers/businesses in the village, the government, and universities to increase community income more sustainably and equitably.
