Purpose This paper aims to investigate how extrinsic and intrinsic religiosity influences the mediator variables, such as consumers’ brand image and materialism in the Indonesian banking sector (e.g. conventional and Islamic). It also examines how mediators influence consumers’ preferences. Design/methodology/approach The sample consists of 575 bank consumers. The experiment method was used to test the research hypotheses through three studies.

Furthermore, consumers' brand image and materialism partially mediate religiosity and consumers’ preferences. Research limitations/implications This study was limited to Indonesian bank consumers. Therefore, future study is needed to analyze cross-region. Practical implications Bank managers and regulators need to enhance Islamic banks' products and services and the varying principle between conventional banks. They also need to enlighten consumers from the perspective of business and religiosity. Originality/value This study contributes to consumers’ behavior literature and the decision-making process of developing and testing a model of religious determinants of consumer preference toward bank products.

This article shed light on sustainable quality improvement of Indonesian universities by embracing autonomous principle as the propulsion for a more dynamic and accountable system in order to back up a reliable autonomy with accreditation to assure the quality of graduate students, and self evaluation to guarantee an apt decision making based on empirical data and information. Therefore, it is vital to reassess university vision and mission of teaching, researching, and community service, especially in the face of a more democratic globalization era sustained with science and technological development. Government, universities, and other research institutions, together with industrial sector, are highly potential to form a synergistic triangle to jointly handle internalization transfer and strategic technological development to enhance productivity and national competitiveness sustainably. Autonomy is a right or authority provided by the authorized party or government, while academic freedom is a kind of freedom owned by academicians in performing their duty and their functional activity, namely education and scientific research. The development of University accountability is meant to make the best use of university resources for activities sustaining the stated goals.
