Can religious values reinvigorate the links between development and falāh?
No full textPurpose: previous studies have challenged the Human Development Index’s (HDI) ability to emulate the achievement of falāh (happiness). This paper aims to evaluate the role of religious values in establishing a positive link between the current measurement of development and falāh. Design/methodology/approach: first, this study derives an improved value-loaded development measure from the concept of Maqasid al-Shari’ah (the higher objectives of Islamic law). Second, this paper compares the calculated Maqasid al-Shari’ah Index (MSI) with the HDI of some Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries by using the parametric pair difference z-test and t-test along with the non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Finally, the relationship of both indices and the proxy of falāh are examined by using the ordinary least square and the generalised method of moments estimations. Findings: as far as the religious-led development is concerned, the HDI underestimates OIC countries’ development progress. Here, the MSI can better embody the attainment of falāh than the HDI. Research limitations/implications: this study only covers limited OIC countries due to the data availability issue. Practical implications: The cultural-based development stemming from the religious values proves useful for putting the government effort towards the attainment of the objective of human well-being in the right direction. Originality/value: to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study examining the empirical relationship between the MSI and falāh.</p
Determinants and impacts of trust on awqaf institutions: intergenerational evidence from Indonesia
No full textThis study evaluates the determinants and impacts of trust toward awqf institutions. We extend previous studies by examining the determining role of religiosity and knowledge on trust towards awqf institutions, in addition to the role of reputation and integrity. Our study differs from the previous studies as we incorporate the intergenerational analysis of 658 experienced and inexperienced Indonesian waqf donors by employing the PLS-SEM method. Our findings suggest that religiosity and knowledge significantly influence trust toward awqf institutions. However, the impact differs across generations X, Y, and Z. While the direct impacts of religiosity and knowledge on the intention to do cash waqf are insignificant for certain generations, the variables significantly impact the intention of all generations when moderated by the trust. Therefore, our primary implication is for awqf institutions to know their customers better and offer more trust-enhancing programs for the inexperienced younger generations.JEL Classification: Z12, L31How to Cite:Haidlir, B.

On the design of Islamic blended microfinancing for refugee entrepreneurship: an institutional logic perspective
No full textUncovering apt policy for refugee self-reliance is intricate. Refugee entrepreneurship is often hailed as the way forward for such an objective as it deciphers ‘Canvas Ceiling’. However, the lack of financing for unfeasible and unbankable refugee entrepreneurs prevents this from materialising. This article proposes Islamic blended microfinance for refugee entrepreneurship, integrating state support, the private sector, the philanthropic funds, and Islamic values. Our model differs as it is developed through the lens of the competing logic discussed in the institutional theory. Understanding competing institutional logic is crucial as blended finance involves various agents with distinct moral preferences that are often overlooked by policymakers. We test our model in the spatial context of Indonesia, the home of microfinance and blended Islamic finance. The findings outline that the logics of the three agents and religion (Islam) can converge in contextuality and temporality dimensions. A key to attaining this equilibrium is to meticulously design the payoff between the private sector with market logic and the philanthropic institutions with universal community logic, making them contingent on the state of the economy
Beyond-money framing and customer decision to patronise Islamic banking: an experimental study
No full textPurpose: The recent growth of Islamic bank (IB) assets in Indonesia has been mainly driven by government interventions rather than the organic development on the demand side. A novel approach to attract new consumers, increase market share and accelerate its development is the need of the hour. This study aims to propose beyond-money framing that promotes the Shari’ah and social dimensions of IB’s products on top of its contemporary marketing strategy. This paper examines whether this technique can advance IBs selection. Design/methodology/approach: This paper uses the (online) laboratory experiment involving 192 high- and low-literate participants from Generation Z (Gen Z). Using difference tests and Logit regression, this paper examines the impact of beyond-money framing on customers decision-making. Findings: Beyond-money framing has a significant impact in influencing customers decisions to select profit-and-loss sharing (PLS) products offered by IBs. The effect of the framing accelerates in the high-literate customers. Research limitations/implications: The contract examined is only the PLS one (mudharabah). Respondents are also restricted to Gen Z. This study does not separate the effect of Shari’ah and social aspects from beyond money framing. Practical implications: To attract new customers, IBs should emphasise their products’ social and Shari’ah features rather than relying solely on a low-price strategy. Originality/value: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first study proposing the framing strategy for IBs and examining its impact on IB’s product acceptance in Indonesia.</p
Intergenerational analysis of cash waqf behavior: lessons learned from Indonesia
No full textPurpose: the proponents of cash waqf speak highly about its huge potential for mobilizing the third sector of the economy to fund the socio-economic development agenda. However, the under-collection issue has been characterizing the cash waqf movement globally. This study aims to examine how understanding the distinct cash waqf donating behavior across different generations has the potential to address the problem.Design/methodology/approach: this study extends the theory of planned behavior by adding religiosity and knowledge variables into the standard model, using the partial least square structural equation modeling. A survey is conducted on 684 respondents representing the main provinces in Indonesia and four major generations (Baby Boomers [BB], Generations X, Y and Z). Findings: Religiosity, Knowledge, Attitude, Subjective Norms and Perceived Behavioral Control directly or indirectly affect cash waqf intention. The effect is contingent on the characteristics of generations. Research limitations/implications: this study covers only the Indonesian case with limited coverage of the more heterogeneous provinces in the country. The sample distribution for BB can also be enlarged. Practical implications: cash waqf institutions (government and private) should apply the dynamic segmenting strategy, where the diversification of the promotion, marketing, awareness and approaches are contingent on the different characteristics of each generation. Originality/value: to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the intergenerational determinants of Intention toward cash waqf, particularly in Indonesia.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
