This present study empirically analyzed the growth of Indonesia’s three main sectors of the Islamic Financial Industry (Islamic Capital Market, Islamic Banking, and Islamic non-bank Financial Industry) towards economic growth between 2014Q1 and 2021Q3. The quarterly data was processed through the ARDL Bound-test for cointegration and Error Correction Model (ECM). The research revealed three of the four research variables (sharia stock, Sukuk, and sharia insurance) that significantly affect GDP, while Islamic banking shows no significant effect on GDP. As a result, Indonesian Islamic banks must optimize funds for the productive sector. Future policies should consider maximizing the role of the Islamic financial industry to accelerate economic growth.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78928467","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 study describes how intentions are influenced by service, word-of-mouth, and subjective norms, with knowledge of usury acting as a moderating variable. This quantitative study involved 150 respondents. The data collected was analyzed by using structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3 Software. According to this study, service significantly affected intention to take a loan from loan sharks but had no influence on word-of-mouth. Though it has no influence on intention, the subjective norm has a significant influence on word-of-mouth. The service on the intention is mediated by word of mouth, which has an influence on the intention. However, word-of-mouth does not act as a mediating variable between subjective norms and intentions. The intention to use the services of loan sharks is significantly moderated by knowledge about usury, which also significantly moderates word-of-mouth and subjective norms. It did not, however, moderate the influence of service on intentions. As a result, it is recommended that the government create Islamic financial institutions not only for the middle class and upper class but also for the lower economic class, which is vulnerable to loan sharks.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"289 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72435083","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}

However, studies investigating the mediating role of perceived ease of use of technology on saving intention in Islamic banks by considering social influence, religiosity, and salesperson service still require more paucity of evidence. This study adopted the TPB and Perceived Behavior Control (PBC). Purposive sampling was used to select 250 respondents who were customers of Islamic banks in Surakarta municipality, Indonesia. The data were analyzed by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with SPSS AMOS 22. The results indicate that social influence, religiosity, and salesperson service have a positive and significant impact on saving intentions in Islamic banks. With partial mediating results, perceived ease of use of technology mediates the effect of social influences on saving intention in Islamic banks. Meanwhile, the role of perceived ease of use of technology in mediating social influence on saving intentions is ineffective. Salesperson service has the biggest effect on saving intentions since they are directly interacting with customers. The results contribute to providing fruitful insights to sharia banks that sales person service and religiosity are two crucial factors determining the consumers’ satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89813999","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 study attempts to review the contribution of Islamic and conventional microfinance institutions established in these countries in tackling financial exclusion. The study used the data from the Global Findex Database of the World Bank and IMF Financial Access Survey to draw a comparative image of financial access among the countries. The evidence indicated that there are significant financial gaps across the countries and hence a huge opportunity for Islamic microfinance with its vast range of financial products could be implemented to spur economic growth and tackle financial exclusion. Policymakers can use the study's findings to entice and build new microfinance institutions with broadly inclusive products for all populations of these countries.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"161 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80145486","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}

Drawing in this issue, this study scrutinizes the influence of attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavior control on the purchase intention of Muslim consumers in the halal marketplace. This study involves the Muslim community in Semarang, Indonesia. Taking a sample of 100 respondents, this quantitative study was used with multiple linear regression. The results demonstrated that Muslim consumers have a good understanding of the halal market. An individual's understanding of the halal market improves with increasing levels of education. Subjective norms and behavior control have a significant influence on the purchase intention of Muslim consumers in the halal marketplace. Attitude does not significantly influence Muslim consumers' purchase intentions in the halal marketplace. The outcomes of this research are anticipated to be helpful to Muslim consumers and entrepreneurs in encouraging competitiveness and sales so they may create a digital platform-based halal marketplace ecosystem in light of KNKS' expectations.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81697384","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}

Hence, this study offers novelty by involving a variable of individual diversity interaction to investigate the effect of knowledge sharing on employee performance as observed by the ability of employees in achieving individual targets in collecting and distributing ZIS (zakat, infak, and alms). This study included 195 respondents that were analyzed with Structural Equation Modelling using AMOS. The results indicated that knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on individual diversity interaction. Individual diversity interactions have a positive and significant effect on religiosity and affective commitment. Moreover, religiosity and individual diversity interaction have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, affective commitment indicates no effect on employee performance. This study suggests that to improve performance, employees at zakat institutions need to further intensify their knowledge sharing.

Data were obtained from 100 auditors who have been registered as members of the Indonesian Institute of Certified Public Accountants (IICPA) with a minimum period of active duty of one year using online questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling with LISREL. This study concludes that organizational commitment and professional commitment have a negative effect on dysfunctional audit behavior and turnover intention. Commitment is crucial to avoiding dysfunctional audit behavior since persons who are committed are less likely to engage in such behavior. Conversely, the more the turnover intention, the higher the risk of dysfunctional audit behavior. Thus, it is suggested that auditors have emotional relationships, economic values, religious morals, and ethical attitudes when performing their duties as public accountants.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89137247","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 led to the selection of 12 people in the Department of Agriculture and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, tourism operators consisting of the Hotel and Restaurant Association (PHRI), the Association of The Indonesian Tours and Travel Agencies (ASITA), and farmers/agritourism partners. Upon the analysis using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the results showed that authentic experience should be prioritized with agrotourism actors or partners playing a big role in the marketing process. Furthermore, the addition of attractions with actors or partners is expected to play a key role in offering authentic experiences to tourists as a prioritized alternative strategy.

Because of its natural beauty, which is comparable to that of Bali, the majority of the population is Muslim, and the island has a distinct religious culture and history, Lombok has a lot of promise in promoting halal tourism in Indonesia. This study intends to elucidate the relationship between destination brand awareness, brand image, brand quality, and destination brand value in increasing the destination brand satisfaction of tourists visiting Lombok. This study proposes a new model and clarifies the concept of a new indicator on the variable of destination brand value. Upon analysis of structural equation modeling (SEM) using convenience sampling employing WarpPLS software to 250 respondents, it was proven that the research model was accepted with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 86.6%. The proposed model shows destination brand value to be a determinant of tourists’ satisfaction. The model also proves that indicators of convenience, reasonable cost, fun, and getting benefits make a positive contribution to brand value destinations. This study offers practical implication that tourism managers should pay attention to and improve brand image, which currently has little impact on destination brand value, by building brand popularity and competitive advantages.","PeriodicalId":31157,"journal":{"name":"Shirkah Journal of Economics and Business","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82083169","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}
