Purpose This paper aims to estimate the influence of spirituality on halal-labeled food shopping behavior both directly and through the mediating roles of image, trust and satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach Using quantitative methods, this research analyzed the responses to questionnaires distributed to 212 respondents from Bandung, Indonesia. To prove the hypotheses, the collected data were analyzed by partial least square (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS. Findings This research shows that the direct relationship between spirituality and halal-labeled food shopping behavior was insignificant. However, the relationship between spirituality and halal food shopping behavior became indirectly significant through the mediating roles of image, trust and satisfaction. This finding confirms that image, trust and satisfaction are influential factors in the increased shopping behavior of consumers who choose halal-labeled foods. Practical implications To increase the shopping behavior of Muslims for halal-labeled food, halal food companies need to expand the halal label campaign to electronic and social media. Besides, halal food companies need to develop the accountability of food quality to ensure that the halal food products meet the health and safety standards expected by the public. Spiritual education is also required to harmonize the love for God and the food choices approved by God. Originality/value This study is the first in testing the influence of spirituality on halal-labeled food shopping behavior both directly and through the mediating roles of image, trust and satisfaction. It successfully revealed the strengths and weaknesses of spirituality in influencing the behavior of halal food shopping.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to integrate the Quality–Loyalty Model and the Religiosity–Loyalty Model to assess loyalty formation toward Halal food. Design/methodology/approach Data from 320 respondents were collected in Bandung Indonesia through a survey. A partial least-square modeling was employed to evaluate the association between food quality, religiosity, perceived value, satisfaction and loyalty. Findings This study discloses that the two integrated loyalty models are fit, indicating that incorporating these loyalty models provides a better comprehension of loyalty toward Halal food. Further, this study confirms the importance of both food quality and religiosity in determining loyalty. Practical implications This research offers an important finding for Halal food managers to develop customer loyalty through food quality and religiosity. This research recommends that Halal food managers, besides obtaining Halal certification, need to constantly innovate and adopt world food-quality standards to deal with customers’ constantly changing demands. Originality/value This research is the first that integrates the Quality–Loyalty Model and the Religiosity–Loyalty Model to get a better understanding of loyalty formation toward Halal food.

Purpose This study aims to predict the adoption of mobile services among muzakki (Islamic taxpayers) through the integrative roles of technology acceptance model (TAM), perceived trust and religiosity. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was distributed to 209 muzakkis as this research’s respondents. The partial least square was used to evaluate the relationship between TAM, perceived trust, religiosity and the adoption of mobile zakat services. Findings This study finds that perceived easiness and religiosity play a positive and significant role in increasing the adoption of mobile zakat services. Meanwhile, perceived usefulness and perceived trust do not have any influential role in generating muzakki adoption behavior. Practical implications This study underlines the importance of digital zakat institutions making easy-to-understand and easy-to-access online platforms for the broader community. In addition, they need to collaborate with formal and non-formal religious education institutions to increase zakat awareness and its benefits for marginalized groups. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first to integrate the TAM theory, perceived trust and religiosity in estimating muzakki adoption of mobile services.

The purpose of this research is to analyze and implement the data mining technique in the export of crude petroleum materials to the destination country. This is because Indonesia is a member of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) which is one of the largest petroleum exporters in the world. It aims to obtain profits in the form of foreign exchange income obtained by the State. The data source was obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) with the website https://www.bps.go.id for data for 2017-2018. The calculation process The technique used is clustering with the K-Medoids algorithm. The calculation process is carried out using the help of Rapid Miner tools. The clusters used in this study are 2 namely: high cluster (C1) for export of crude oil materials and low cluster (C2) for crude oil materials. The results of the study stated that the high cluster (C1) consisted of 3 countries (Japan, Thailand and the United States) and the low cluster (C2) consisted of 6 countries (South Korea, Taiwan, China, Singapore, Malaysia and Singapore). It is hoped that the research results will be input and information for the government to rearrange policies in order to increase competitiveness, ensure business certainty and the sustainability of domestic industrial raw materials.

<p><em>This study aims to evaluate the factors that influence the capital structure of the Islamic banking industry in the ASEAN region using the trade-off theory as a basis for decision-making. In trade-off theory, book leverage can proxy capital structure as the dependent variable and bank-specific factors, including profitability, earnings volatility, bank size, asset growth, asset structure, and bank age, as independent variables. In addition, it also considers macroeconomic conditions, which are manifested in the gross domestic product and the inflation rate. The study results show that total assets can affect the level of debt because fixed assets can be used as collateral when the bank takes on debt. While other factors do not have a significant effect on the debt level of Islamic banks. These results are the first empirical study to explore the determinants of the capital structure of Islamic banks in the ASEAN region with different variables from previous research and updated sample data, namely the 2016-2020 period.</em></p>
