Data were obtained from 50 mustahik (zakat recipients)at BAZNAS Probolinggo Municipalityusing theproportional random sampling method. The results show that zakat and number of household members directly and indirectly affect the household consumption of mustahik. Furthermore, household income as an intermediate variable also affects the household consumption of mustahik, whereas education and age have no effect, either directly or indirectly. The lackof effect of education on consumption can be attributed to the mustahiks’ jobs, for which no education/special skills are required;thus, a high level of education does not affect household income and consumption. Similarly, the lack of effect of age on predicted consumption is because many mustahik are not at a productive age and do not work;increasing age does not therefore increase income and consumption. \u0000Keywords: Poverty, Consumptive Zakat, Productive Zakat, Household Consumption","PeriodicalId":224383,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Zakat","volume":"144 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129539154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research examines how the zakat institution in Indonesia has improved in terms of disbursement activities over the past 5 years (2011-2015).This is a quantitative research study that uses two approaches of efficiency analysis, namely (i) zakat disbursement efficiency measurement (ratio analysis) and (ii) identification of governance factor(s) that influence the zakat disbursement efficiency of the zakat institutions (regression analysis). Eviews 9 was used in data calculation. In the first approach, there are three efficiency measures: disbursement efficiency, cost efficiency and time efficiency. In the second approach, governance factors (board size; professionals on board; and frequency of board meetings) identify the influence of governance factors on zakat disbursement efficiency measures. The findings showthat there is a negative influence between board size and cost efficiency and no influence with disbursement and time efficiency. However, the relationshipbetween board size and disbursement and time efficiency is rejected because of insignificant results. Professionals on boards has a positive influence on disbursement, cost and time efficiency. Lastly, the frequency of board meetings positively influences disbursement efficiency and time efficiency. Frequency of board meetings showed a negative influence with cost efficiency. This research is significant as it could contribute to future discussions on the potential ways to improve zakat governance and efficiency in Indonesia. The outcomes from the discussions will be useful as a guide for policymakers looking to improve the zakat institution’s governance system. \u0000 \u0000Keywords:Efficiency, Governance, Indonesia, Zakat","PeriodicalId":224383,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Zakat","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126845872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theoretically, zakat has an impact on Islamic banks larger expenditures compared to conventional banks which are not obliged to. This research examines and analyzes the extent to which profitability variables which are ROA, ROE, and BOPO, and bank size which is represented by total assets, can affect corporate zakat expenditure by Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS) in Indonesia. To do so, the Panel Vector Error Correction Model (PVECM) is used to analyze the subject matters which the period covers from 2012 to 2017. This work finds that in the short-run, all the independent variables were insignificant. However, in the long-run only ROE and BOPO which were significant. The results of the Impulse Response Function (IRF) analysis showed that the dependent variable responds to the shock of its independent variables with fluctuating and even negative trend. In addition, the results of Variance Decomposition (VDC) analysis showed that the contribution of profitability variables and bank size tended to decrease toward the formation of corporate zakat expenditure by BUS until the end of the research period. \u0000Keywords: Corporate Zakat Expenditure, Islamic Banks, Profitability, Bank Size, PVECM","PeriodicalId":224383,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Zakat","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116709763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
