Abstract

This research is aimed to acknowledge the disclosure of Islamic ethics in sharia banking business practices. Islamic banks have a different concept of understanding compared to a conventional bank in implementing the practices of collecting and channeling funds. Islamic economic system has stipulated mandatory regulations in every financial transaction of Islamic banks. Finding the balance on implementing business practices and religious orders have become the primary consideration of Islamic banks. The social responsibility as a higher priority has constructed Islamic banks with different ethical identity in contrast to the one conventional bank has. Having the ethical identity grants Islamic banks with a distinguishable unique characteristic. For  the Islamic banks, the compatibility of Islamic ethics in its practices becomes one of the strengths in thriving among the highly competitive banking industry. This research is a textual analysis which discusses Islamic ethics on Islamic banks business. The methodology applied in this research is qualitative descriptive. Based on the findings, it is revealed that sharia banking in Indonesia has not yet been ideal in implementing Islamic ethics in its business practices. Islamic banks show the presence of similarity between Islamic and conventional banks in terms of service behavior.

Abstract

Service quality is an important market differentiator and is an instrument that has strong competitiveness. The purpose of this research was to test and to analyze the influence of service quality towards customer trust and customer loyalty, especially in the retail industry. In such an industry, service quality is the key to improve competitiveness. The research was carried out in North Sulawesi with 135 supermarket customer as the sample. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The research result showed that service quality had significantly positive influence either on the customer trust or customer loyalty. Besides, on the relationship between customer trust and customer loyalty, it also had significant positive finding. Such finding was in line with the concept of SERVQUAL and The Commitment-Trust Theory, stating that service quality interaction would minimize the gap between the expectation and the service received so that it would improve customer trust and eventually they would be back to shop more. The implication of such managerial research was that the supermarket leader in North Sulawesi must focus more and emphasize more on the dimension of service quality especially in terms of reliability, empathy, and warranty. The limitation of this research was the limited area of research, therefore, the area scope should be broader for the next research so that the conceptual model could be generalized.

Abstract

The government has issued career development policies since 1988, until the issuance of Permenpan-RB Number 9 of 2014, but implementation of Permenpan-RB Number 9 of 2014 still leaves some challenges. The objectives of this study are:  (1) to explain the implementation of Permenpan-RB Number  9  of  2014  at  Malang  State  University  (UM);  and  (2)  knowing the supporting and inhibiting factors. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods. Data collection techniques used in this study were interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis used in this study is the  Miles, Huberman and Saldana  analysis models. Research findings:  (1)  the  reluctance  of  a  small  number  of  librarians  to  take  part  in  the  librarianship competency test and carry out professional development activities, (2) the placement of general functional personnel who do not have competence in the library sector to carry out librarians activities due to the lack of librarians and (3) submission cancellations promotion of UM librarians to Main Librarian Position due to limitation of librarianship career paths to positions of middle librarians at Kemenristekdikti. The inhibiting factors for the implementation of Permenpan-RB Number 9 of 2014 in UM are (1) the lack of responsiveness of the Kemenristekdikti in processing proposals for promotion/rank of librarians, and (2) the limited number of competent civil servants to follow in passing the position of librarians. The implementation of Permenpan-RB Number 9 of 2014 in MUs has not been going well, therefore, a fast response from both librarians and UM leaders is needed to minimize the gap.
