Sharia Supervisory Board Characteristics and Anti-Corruption Disclosure: Study of Islamic Banks in Indonesia and Malaysia
Full text linkCorruption continues to pose a substantial challenge for corporations globally, including financial institutions that comply with sharia principles. Islamic banks must prioritize transparency and accountability, as these elements are essential for maintaining ethical governance and revealing their anti-corruption efforts. Despite the growing focus on Anti-Corruption Disclosure (ACD), corruption cases within Islamic banks continue to occur, highlighting concerns regarding the efficacy of Islamic governance mechanisms. This research analyzes the influence of Sharia Supervisory Board (SSB) attributes—namely, number, cross-membership, expertise level, educational qualifications, reputation, and rotation—on ACD. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing panel data regression to analyze Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia during the period 2020–2021. The sample, chosen via purposive sampling, includes 16 Islamic banks from a total population of 37, according to established criteria. According to the results, ACD is considerably affected by the number of SSB members, but it is not significantly affected by cross-membership, expertise, educational background, reputation, or rotation. The results provide light on how SSB traits affect ACD improvement and add to the broader conversation on Islamic governance and company transparency
Designing the Business Scheme Model of Direct Investment of Indonesian Hajj Funds to The Saudi Food Industry
Full text linkDiversification of investment in hajj funds is also needed in the real sector to optimize the portfolio and sustainable development of hajj finance. This study analyzes the potential for direct investment in the supply of raw materials to meet the needs of catering and processed food by the Indonesian Hajj Fund Management Agency in Saudi Arabia’s food industry. This research utilized a qualitative approach and used data and regulations from authorities and regulators in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. All available data is used to design direct investment models using contracts complying with ethical and fair investment principles.

Mapping Research Landscape on Ijarah Accounting: A Bibliometric Study Based on PSAK 107 Literature
Full text linkThe development of ijarah accounting in Indonesia is in line with the growth of the Islamic financial sector which continues to show a positive trend. Compliance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK), particularly PSAK 107 on Ijarah Accounting, is crucial in ensuring transparency and accountability of financial statements of Islamic financial institutions. However, although PSAK 107 has been in effect since 2010, in-depth and sustained academic studies on this topic are still limited, especially in the Indonesian context. To comprehensively explore the research on PSAK 107, a bibliometric review was conducted using Scopus and Crossref academic databases. ScienceDirect and Emerald Insight academic databases were used for data updates, covering the period 2014-2024 for Scopus and 2019-2024 for Crossref. Article metadata from Scopus and Crossref downloaded on April 17, 2024 were processed using BibTeX and RIS formats with R Studio and VOSviewer software. This collaborative study categorizes research themes on PSAK 107 using metadata from 1187 articles indexed in Scopus and Crossref between 2014 and 2024. The mapping visualization results show that the dominant themes are PSAK 107 and Ijarah, while topics such as Accounting, Ijarah Contracts, Ijarah Financing, and Islamic Profitability are identified as potential research opportunities. Another important finding is the dominance of contributions from Malaysia and Pakistan, with very little representation of research from Indonesia. This indicates a significant literature gap on the implementation and development of Ijarah accounting based on PSAK 107 in Indonesia. In addition, a number of topics such as Sukuk Ijarah, Accountability, and Ujrah are relatively under-researched, thus offering great room for further scientific exploration. Therefore, this study emphasizes the urgency for researchers in Indonesia to fill the literature gap to strengthen local understanding and contribute to the global discourse of Islamic accounting

The Analysis of Crowdfunding Implementation as an Alternative Financing for Islamic Microfinance Institution
Full text linkIslamic Microfinance Institutions (IMFIs) play a crucial role in delivering financial services to Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), thereby advancing financial inclusion and fostering economic empowerment. Despite their significance, IMFIs frequently encounter major constraints, particularly limited access to capital. In contrast, technological advancements have introduced innovative and efficient financing alternatives, most notably in the form of financial technology (fintech). This study investigates the potential for collaboration between IMFIs and fintech, with a particular emphasis on crowdfunding as a financing mechanism. It seeks to identify the benefits and opportunities, alongside the costs and risks, associated with the implementation of fintech-based crowdfunding as an alternative financing source for IMFIs. Adopting a critical review research paradigm and a mixed-method epistemological approach, the study employs two key methodologies: (1) the development of a typology outlining the benefits, opportunities, costs, and risks of collaboration; and (2) the application of the Analytic Network Process (ANP), using the typology as the foundation for model construction. Findings indicate that experts generally perceive the benefits and opportunities of such collaboration to outweigh the associated costs and risks. Notable advantages include enhanced access to capital and the cultivation of a more robust investment culture within IMFIs. On the other hand, key concerns include infrastructural limitations and the potential for capital loss. To mitigate these risks and maximize collaborative benefits, the study highlights the importance of strengthening institutional management across both IMFIs and fintech platforms
Analysis of the Effect of Outreach on Cooperative Sustainability: The Mediating Role of Capital Deepening
Full text linkIndonesia is experiencing a serious inactivity of cooperatives, initially the number of active cooperatives was 209,448 units (2014) but has decreased to 130,119 units (2023) or a decrease of 79,328 units. This research aims to defined the effect of cooperative outreach on the sustainability of sharia saving and loan cooperatives (SLC). SLCs endeavor to elevate support provision to members. Mutually beneficial will be reached if financial and non-financial services (NFS) provided in a balanced manner. Utilizing data via questionnaires from 11 provinces in Indonesia or 32.3% of the total provinces, linear regression, mediation and moderation analysis were carried out. The analysis technique uses Structural Equation Model Partial Least Square (SEM PLS). The findings show a negative relationship between outreach and sustainability. Meanwhile, capital deepening has a positive effect and has a mediating effect on sustainability. However, NFS were found to have no moderating effect on this relationship. This research concludes that SLCs have to take a look at the capitals strength to maintain outreach, and should be wise regarding non-financial services. As a recommendation, the delivery of NFS needs a carefully consideration because apart from adding costs it also does not support the sustainability of the institution
The Negative Influence of Viral Marketing and Brand Awareness on Customer Trust and Purchase Decisions of Pro-Israel Products in Banten Province
Full text linkThis study investigates the influence of viral marketing, brand awareness, and trust on the purchase decisions of pro-Israel products in Banten Province. Anchored in the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory, the research conceptualizes viral marketing and brand awareness as external stimuli (S), consumer trust as the internal organismic state (O), and purchase decisions as the behavioural response (R). The study employs a purposive sampling technique targeting individuals who previously purchased pro-Israel products but have since discontinued or become more selective in their choices. Data were collected through an online survey involving 278 respondents and analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with AMOS 23. The results indicate that viral marketing and brand awareness have a significant negative effect on consumer trust. Furthermore, viral marketing, brand awareness, and trust each have a negative influence on purchase decisions regarding pro-Israel products. These findings underscore the mediating role of trust within the SOR framework, highlighting how consumer perceptions shaped by external marketing stimuli impact ethical decision-making. The study concludes that brands operating in sensitive socio-political contexts must carefully manage their marketing communications to maintain trust and consumer alignment. These insights provide valuable implications for marketers aiming to influence behaviour through ethical and culturally sensitive branding strategies
The Impact of Socioeconomic and Behavioral Factors on Health Indicators in OIC Countries
Full text linkHealth sector indicators are important basis of determining the overall state of a nation’s wealth and welfare. Apart from this broad and conventional perspective on the role of health, in many Islamic countries, health is also part of objective of ‘maqashid sharia’ that needs to be maintained to sustain life. Accordingly, countries invest substantial share of national resources to sustain critical health systems. Notwithstanding these commitments, health service delivery remains a major challenge in these countries, as indicated by the low average life expectancy and the high mortality rate caused by communicable diseases. This study aims to describe and analyze the factors influencing health outcomes, namely life expectancy and mortality rate, in Muslim countries using secondary data from 46 OIC countries from 2010-2018. Employing panel data estimation, the study finds evidence suggesting the important role of a nation’s wealth, health expenditure, educational achievement and the prevalence of smoking as important determinants of life expectancy in OIC countries. In particular, the results show that high incidence of communicable diseases in countries with lower than mean years of schooling and those with significantly wide prevalence of smoking habits may have contributed to high mortality in these countries
Volatility Dynamics of Islamic and Conventional Equity Portfolios During COVID-19: Evidence from Fama-French and GARCH Models
Full text linkThis paper examines the performance and volatility of Islamic equity portfolios in contrast to their conventional counterparts during the pre-pandemic, COVID-19 pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. Using daily data gathered from February 2019 to December 2023, this study employs the Fama-French factor models alongside GARCH-type models to evaluate risk-adjusted returns and volatility of portfolios. Furthermore, shariah screening rules, particularly those related to debt ratios, are integrated into the portfolio construction process to assess their influence on performance. The results show that while Islamic equity portfolios generally deliver lower returns, they demonstrate significantly lower volatility. This relation implicitly suggests a trade-off between risk and return, which are amplified further during periods of market stress. These findings contribute to the growing literature on Islamic finance by demonstrating the stability provided by shariah-compliant equity portfolios. Future research may explore sector-specific performance or extend the framework to other economies
