Afief El Ashfahany , Fatimah Azzahra , Yayuli , Ibrahim Musa Unal doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/im.19(2).2023.15Innovative Marketing Volume 19, 2023 Issue #2 pp. 184-197
Views: 690 Downloads: 241 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study aims to build a framework for the variables affecting interest in sharia e-commerce, such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and religiosity. Using a convenience sampling method, this analysis involved 212 young people, who represent the most significant proportion of e-commerce clients. The survey measurements and hypotheses testing used the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The results of the study show that attitude (ß = 0.261, p = 0.000), subjective norm (ß = 0.264, p = 0.000), perceived usefulness (ß = 0.241, p = 0.013), and perceived ease of use (ß = 0.185, p = 0.032) have a positive relationship with intention to use sharia e-commerce for youths. In addition, perceived ease of use (ß = 0.759, p = 0.000) also significantly affects perceived usefulness as a moderator to intention. In comparison, perceived behavior control (ß = –0.042, p = 0.505) was an insignificant factor in using sharia e-commerce. This study also shows that religiosity (ß = 0.648, p = 0.000) is essential in a person’s attitude toward intending to use sharia e-commerce. The insignificant relationship between perceived behavior control and intention to use sharia e-commerce is believed to be because both conventional and sharia e-commerce are easily operated. Thus, youth people have not noticed many differences in using sharia e-commerce.

Azhar Alam , Ririn Tri Ratnasari , Isnani Latifathul Jannah , Afief El Ashfahany doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ee.14(1).2023.06Environmental Economics Volume 14, 2023 Issue #1 pp. 61-72
Views: 958 Downloads: 223 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe threat of the global climate crisis demands improvement and adjustment from various sides, including the financial sector. Islamic finance responds to environmental responsibility by presenting environmentally friendly financing products in green sukuk. This study aims to show the development trend of the number of publications in green sukuk and systematize the results of studies that explain the development and evaluation of the emergence of green sukuk investments. This study analyzed 15 publications on green sukuk during the 2016-2022 years indexed by the Scopus database. As for methodology, the descriptive analysis was used to explain the green sukuk data quantitatively; the synthesis analysis was used to describe data based on four directions (the development of models (10 sources), opportunities (12 sources), challenges (12 sources), and evaluations of green sukuk (10 sources). Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses standard were used to choose samples for this investigation. The green sukuk challenge is dealing with the sukuk market after the pandemic. Several evaluation findings regarding managing commitment from the government and investors for the renewable energy sector and efforts to provide low-cost sukuk financing and risk minimization are found. Green sukuk demands efficient management to be more viable, competitive, and attractive to investors if the operational area supports it. Green sukuk projects face expanding green funding, global climate financing, managing renewable energy, and validating greenhouse gas emissions. The green stock market reaction requires coordination amongst economic subsectors.

Why non-Muslims choose Islamic banking. Extended theory of planned behavior: a moderating factor of Islamic bank knowledge
Afief El Ashfahany , Dinda Ayu Siti Mutmainah , Isman doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/bbs.18(3).2023.10Banks and Bank Systems Volume 18, 2023 Issue #3 pp. 112-125
Views: 583 Downloads: 326 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study aims to explore the intention of non-Muslims to become Islamic bank customers using an extended theory of planned behavior with Islamic Bank knowledge as a moderating variable. The partial least square structural equation modelling technique was employed for data and hypothesis testing. Using a probability sampling method, this analysis involved 200 non-Muslim Christians as the majority of respondents, representing the majority of non-Muslims in Indonesia. The results of this study show that attitude (ß = 5.390, p = 0.000), subjective norm (ß = 5.488, p = 0.000), and perceived behavioral control (ß = 2.104, p = 0.036) have a positive relationship with intention. Surprisingly, the relationship between Islamic Bank knowledge and intention is indirect, which is mediated through attitude. In addition, the Islamic Bank knowledge amplifies the relation between perceived behavioral control and intention. This study confirmed that Islamic Bank knowledge plays an important role in increasing intention. Thus, Islamic banks should consider educating more non-Muslims about what an Islamic bank is.

Nur Rizqi Febriandika , Harun Harun , Neneng Nadila Kurniawati , Afief El Ashfahany doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.21(4).2023.27Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 21, 2023 Issue #4 pp. 347-360
Views: 302 Downloads: 102 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study aims to analyze the performance of Islamic philanthropic institution during the COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2021) by using a balanced scorecard approach. The balanced scorecard assesses a company or institution based on four perspectives: finance, customer, internal business, and growth and learning. For internal business and growth and learning performance perspectives, data were taken from interviews, and the annual report of the institution was taken for a finance perspective. For customer perspectives, the study used a questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents who are regular donors to philanthropic institution. They play an essential role because regardless of the economic conditions that occur, they are still obliged to donate as a form of the obligation of a rich Muslim to pay zakat. The results showed that the customer perspective had the highest value in its performance results compared to the other three perspectives. Islamic philanthropic institution has a high orientation to customers where customer satisfaction is prioritized in improving the performance of zakat institutions, especially during the pandemic. This is in line with the performance of Islamic philanthropic institution, which continues to increase performance during the pandemic. Despite experiencing a decline in zakat funds in the second wave of COVID-19, Islamic philanthropic institution increased infaq and sadaqah funds during the same period.

Analysis of factors influencing intention to purchase halal Japanese food: The moderating role of religiosity
Afief El Ashfahany , Shafiyya Khansa Farrahvanaya , Muhamad Subhi Apriantoro , Suharjianto doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/im.20(1).2024.06The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors affecting the desire to purchase halal Japanese cuisine using the theory of planned behavior and religiosity as a moderator. The study employs the structural equation modeling partial least square (SEM PLS) method to analyze data obtained from questionnaires administered to 202 Muslim consumers at halal Japanese restaurants (Ramen Ya, Marugame Udon, and Sushi Tei). The findings demonstrate that attitudes (β = 0.228, p = 0.074), subjective norms (β = 0.198, p = 0.076), perceived behavioral control (β = 0.133, p = 0.035), and religiosity (β = 0.459, p = 0.000) significantly affect the intention to buy Japanese food labeled halal. In addition, halal awareness (β = 0.593, p = 0.000) and religiosity (β = 0.227, p = 0.039) also have a significant positive effect on attitude. However, the presence of religiosity does not significantly moderate the relationship between attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control towards purchase intention. Although religiosity does not act as a moderator, the outcomes of this analysis are expected to be useful for the Japanese halal cuisine sector, notably in countries with a majority Muslim population, to consider religiosity as an essential factor in increasing purchase intention.

Balanced scorecard approach to measuring the performance of a non-profit organization: Case study on a Waqf-based Pesantren in Indonesia
Afief El Ashfahany , Muhamad Ramdhani Jihad , Neneng Nadila Kurniawati , Syamsul Hidayat , Triono Ali Mustofa doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.21511/ppm.22(2).2024.47Problems and Perspectives in Management Volume 22, 2024 Issue #2 pp. 600-614
Views: 232 Downloads: 55 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study explores how the Balanced Scorecard is useful to investigate its application in non-profit organizations, particularly in Waqf-based Pesantrens. The Balanced Scorecard considers four aspects: financial, customer, internal business, and growth and learning. The financial perspective relied on the institution’s annual report, while customer perspectives were collected via a questionnaire distributed among 100 individuals who regularly contribute to the charitable organization. Data used to evaluate learning performance, growth, and internal business came from Pesantren directors and managers through stakeholder interviews. The results demonstrate that, among these aspects, the customer perspective holds the most significance for non-profit organizations such as Waqf-based Pesantren institutions, receiving the highest score of 43. Next comes the financial aspect with a score of 21.86, while growth and learning and internal business share a score of 20 each. This emphasizes the crucial role of prioritizing the needs of customers in the strategic planning of non-profit organizations, specifically in Waqf-based Pesantren institutions. The results contribute insights for these organizations to enhance their strategic management practices by emphasizing the importance of the customer perspective in their decision-making processes.
