Examining the Effect of Work-Life Balance and Work Engagement on Employee Performance: A Study at Bank Syariah Palu, Indonesia

Fauzan Almahdali — 2025-10-20

The merger that formed Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) has brought new challenges in human resource management, where employee performance is a key factor for success in the Islamic financial sector. This study develops a conceptual framework on the influence of Work-Life Balance (WLB) and Work Engagement (WE) on employee performance, with an empirical focus on BSI Palu. The literature indicates that WLB helps employees balance work and personal life, positively affecting productivity, whereas WE reflects emotional attachment, dedication, and energy that enhance service quality and performance. The proposed model positions WLB and WE as determinants of employee performance, contributing to the literature by extending the Job Demands–Resources Model to Islamic banking. Practically, this suggests that BSI should implement HR policies that strengthen WLB and WE to improve competitiveness and sustainability. This conceptual framework can serve as a foundation for future studies.

The Effect of Personal Branding, Service Innovation, and Empathy Maps on the Satisfaction of Digital Loan Customers Mediated by Trust in Pre-Retirement and Retirement Loan Products

Freddy Herdian — 2025-10-20

Digital lending services for pre-retirement and retirement loan products are emerging as a crucial support for civil servants approaching pension in Central Sulawesi. This study examines how personal branding, service innovation, and the use of empathy maps influence customer satisfaction in digital lending, with customer trust as a mediating variable. A quantitative survey of 100 respondents in Central Sulawesi (2023–2025) was conducted and analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that personal branding, service innovation, and empathy maps each have a positive and significant effect on customer trust and satisfaction. Customer trust also positively affects satisfaction and partially mediates the relationship between those factors and satisfaction. The proposed model explains a substantial portion of variance in trust and satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of building a strong personal brand, continuously innovating services, and adopting empathetic approaches to improve customer trust and satisfaction in digital loan services for the pre-retirement and retirement segment.

Productive Waqf and Efforts to Renew Waqf Law in the Jasser Auda System Approach

Mohammad Fauzan — 2025-10-20

Productive waqf represents a new paradigm of Islamic philanthropy that shifts the focus from passive asset maintenance to active asset development, aiming to maximize the socio-economic benefits of the community. This transformation inherently demands a reform of traditional waqf law, which tends to be conservative. This article analyzes efforts to reform waqf law, particularly regarding the diversification of waqf objects and management flexibility, through the lens of Jasser Auda's Systems Approach . The analysis shows that productive waqf aligns with Auda's Purposefulness feature , which reconstructs the Maqasid of Sharia from protection to development . This approach justifies the expansion of waqf objects (e.g., cash waqf and intellectual property rights) and provides a philosophical foundation for Istibdal (change of function) to realize the welfare of the community in a holistic and sustainable manner. Furthermore, the use of this systems approach is important in managing waqf investment risks, which is a logical consequence of the development -oriented paradigm.

Implementation of Sharia Good Governance through Non-Cash Payment Systems

Ulyani Ulyani — 2025-10-21

This study aims to explore the implementation of a cashless payment system at the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia in the Central Sulawesi region and its relationship to the implementation of Sharia-based good governance. Using a qualitative approach and phenomenological methodology, this study explores the subjective experiences of stakeholders directly involved in the management and implementation of the cashless payment system. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with heads of work units, Commitment Making Officers (PPK), State Treasurers, and Sharia economic experts, as well as field observations to understand the practical implementation of this system. The results indicate that the implementation of a cashless payment system can improve administrative efficiency and transparency in financial management, which aligns with the principles of good governance, such as accountability and transparency. However, this study also identified significant challenges, including limited digital infrastructure and technological literacy in some regions, which hamper wider implementation. Furthermore, although this system supports Sharia values in terms of reducing transactions containing elements of riba (usury) and maysir (gambling), there is still room for improved oversight to ensure transactions are completely free from practices that are inconsistent with Sharia principles. In conclusion, the implementation of a non-cash payment system has great potential to support Sharia-based good governance in the public sector, but requires strengthening infrastructure, training, and stricter supervision to ensure its success.

“Montolutusan-Mondopulian” A Local Cultural Wisdom as a Media to Bond the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia Based on Ethnographic Communication Discourse Analysis.

Rustam Rustam — 2025-10-22

This paper examines the development of modern society, influenced by information technology, which presents both challenges and opportunities for the preservation of local culture. Globalization and information, as the gateway to the third millennium, have captivated every Indonesian citizen seeking freedom, seeking hedonistic and materialistic trends for temporary pleasure, while lacking awareness that social reality is slowly becoming fragile. Traditional practices considered rooted in Indonesian culture are being shaken by the impact of globalization. The Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI), comprising diverse ethnicities, cultures, and languages, feels disturbed by modern civilization. Similarly, the diversity of ethnicities, languages, and cultures in Central Sulawesi Province, particularly in its three sister regencies: Banggai Regency, Banggai Kepulauan Regency, and Banggai Laut Regency, is evident. Based on the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that all the slogans, mottos, principles of the Banggai people; "Montolutusan" and "Mondopulian" or similar, although they do not have the same essence as a way of life that exists in the territory of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) is one of the media of local cultural wisdom that must be maintained, guarded, preserved and socialized as a system against the onslaught of globalization-information and liberalization that can hit and dispel the tranquility, peace and welfare of all Indonesian people as stated in the results of the analysis of table 3, table 4 and table 5.

Exploring the Potential of Professional Zakat among Digital Content Workers: A Study on Facebook Pro Creators in Rarampadende Village, Sigi Regency

Sitti Aisya — 2025-10-22

This study investigates the potential of professional zakat among digital workers who earn income through Facebook Pro monetization in Rarampadende Village, Dolo Barat District, Sigi Regency. The emergence of digital professions such as content creators, YouTubers, and social media influencers has transformed the modern economy, presenting new challenges and opportunities for Islamic financial obligations, particularly zakat. Using an empirical legal approach combined with qualitative descriptive analysis, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving local Facebook Pro content creators. The findings reveal that despite having considerable income potential, most digital workers lack awareness regarding the obligation of zakat on their professional earnings. The implementation of the Fatwa Ijtima’ Ulama Komisi Fatwa Se-Indonesia VIII No. 04/VIII/2024 concerning zakat on digital income provides a relevant framework for guiding these professions toward compliance with Islamic law. The study concludes that digital zakat has significant potential to enhance socio-economic justice if effectively managed through institutional and technological integration.

The results of this study are expected to serve as an evaluation and development reference for non-formal education programs to strengthen their contribution to improving community quality of life.

Ethical Dimensions and Values in Science: Between Neutrality and Interests

Dirsan I.Totou — 2025-10-22

Science is often regarded as a rational human endeavor to understand reality objectively, free from prejudice and particular values. However, throughout its development, science has never been completely detached from the ethical dimensions and values underlying both its processes and outcomes. This article examines the tension between scientific neutrality and the social, political, and economic interests that inevitably accompany scientific activity. On the one hand, neutrality is considered an essential requirement to preserve the validity and universality of scientific knowledge. The principle of neutrality allows knowledge to be justified logically and methodologically, without being bound to the subjectivity of researchers or specific groups. On the other hand, scientific practice cannot be separated from various interests, whether in the form of research funding, policy orientation, or the broader social consequences of its applications. Therefore, ethical dimensions emerge as a balance to ensure that science does not merely become an instrument of power, but continues to serve humanity. This article highlights the importance of integrating scientific objectivity with moral responsibility, so that science does not lose its social significance. An ethical approach to knowledge development includes awareness of the impacts of research, the need for transparency in scientific processes, and the recognition that universal values such as justice, sustainability, and humanity must guide every production of knowledge. Thus, science should not only be understood as the accumulation of data and theories but also as a transformative tool that shapes civilization. In conclusion, the relationship between neutrality and interest should not be viewed as a contradiction, but rather as a dialectic requiring balance. Neutrality safeguards objectivity, while ethical interests ensure that knowledge remains relevant to human life. The integration of both will generate knowledge that is not only methodologically valid but also morally and socially meaningful.

Analysis of Truth Theories: Inductive, Deductive, and Alternatives in Science

Fachri Fachri — 2025-10-22

This article discusses the concept of truth in the philosophy of science, emphasizing that truth is not a singular entity but can be understood through various theories and approaches. Classical theories, such as correspondence, coherence, and pragmatics, explain truth from the perspective of conformity to reality, logical consistency, and practical utility. Furthermore, this article outlines the role of inductive, deductive, and alternative approaches (performative and constructive) in the development of science. The inductive approach emphasizes drawing general conclusions from specific facts, while the deductive approach starts from general principles to specific conclusions. Performative and constructivist theories, as alternative approaches, broaden the horizons of understanding truth through language that creates realities and generative learning experiences. The results of this study indicate that the integration of these three approaches enriches scientific methodology and provides a more comprehensive philosophical foundation for building and developing science.

Hasniar Hasniar — 2025-10-22

This article aims to explain the normative foundations of multiculturalism in the Qur’an and Hadith and its relevance to the development of multicultural Islamic Religious Education (IRE). This study employs a qualitative-descriptive approach with library research methods, reviewing primary sources (the Qur’an, Hadith, classical tafsir, and the Charter of Medina) as well as secondary sources (the thoughts of contemporary scholars such as Azyumardi Azra, Nurcholish Madjid, and Fazlur Rahman). The findings show that multiculturalism in Islam is rooted in principles of recognizing diversity (Qur’an, al-Hujurat: 13; al-Maidah: 48), human equality, religious freedom, and interfaith dialogue. The Prophet’s Hadith, particularly the Farewell Sermon and the Charter of Medina, affirm the values of equality and respect for differences. These normative foundations urgently need to be applied in multicultural IRE in Indonesia to counter intolerance, discrimination, and exclusivism. This article concludes that multicultural IRE is not only an academic necessity but also a social strategy to build a peaceful, tolerant, and civilized society

Irzal Setiawan ST — 2025-10-22

This study aims to explore the integration of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary paradigms in Islamic education as a strategic effort to build synergy between religious knowledge, social sciences, and modern sciences (Sulaiman, 2019, p. 22). Contemporary Islamic education faces significant challenges in addressing the complexities of modern civilization, marked by technological disruption, value globalization, and crises of spiritual and ethical identity (Halim, 2021, p. 45). In this context, an approach that combines various disciplines is essential to create a more holistic and relevant model of Islamic education (Nasution, 2018, p. 78). Through a qualitative-descriptive literature review, this study examines the theoretical framework and integrative practices from multiple academic perspectives (Yusuf, 2020, p. 134). The findings indicate that the integration of interdisciplinary paradigms can build substantive connections between Islamic values and contemporary scientific developments, while the multidisciplinary approach enriches perspectives in addressing social and scientific issues contextually (Rahman & Fitri, 2022, p. 56). The synergy of these two approaches forms a crucial foundation for the transformation of Islamic education toward a just, inclusive, and sustainable civilization (Kusuma, 2017, p. 89). This study recommends the development of curricula and teaching methodologies based on knowledge integration as concrete steps to strengthen the role of Islamic education amidst the dynamics of the modern era (Zainal, 2019, p. 101).
