“…While ethical consumption is a relatively new movement in Arab countries, consumers may not be aware of the various warnings issued by religious parties about the social and environmental consequences of their behaviour. This is confirmed by Zubairu et al (2017), who emphasized that there is a knowledge gap that prevents religious individuals from being able to fully apply Islamic principles.…”

Purpose The cognitive processes through which religiosity and idealism affect ethical consumption have received little attention in prior research. This study aims to explore the influence of religiosity and idealism on ethical purchasing intention through moral obligation and perceived customer effectiveness (PCE). Design/methodology/approach The study analyses data from 149 Muslim participants in Saudi Arabia, using structural equation modelling. Findings The results reveal that religiosity leads to PCE but not to moral obligation and that idealism leads to both PCE and moral obligation. Mediation analysis indicated that PCE mediates the effect of both religiosity and idealism, although moral obligation only mediates the effect of idealism. Research limitations/implications This research enriches the understanding of ethical consumption and contributes to the debate on how religiosity and idealism affect ethical consumption. It also has significant implications for theory and the development of sustainable marketing initiatives. Marketing campaigns and other promotional activities may focus on the interconnection between ethical purchase and the religious and ideology dimensions of consumers. Also, while formulating a communication strategy, it is necessary to emphasize the religious dimension of the sustainable use of the product. Originality/value Moral obligation and PCE have been shown as cognitive and psychological mechanisms explaining the links between religiosity or idealism and ethical purchasing behaviour.

“…Nur (2018) also found that religious values have already included all other values such as independence, nationalism, mutual cooperation, and integrity. Another research supported the notion that religiosity is negatively related to academic dishonesty (Khan et al, 2019) while positively related to moral behavior (Azizah, 2015), moral competence (Zubairu, Dauda, Paiko, & Sakariyau, 2017), and prosocial behavior (Safrilsyah, Zailani, Khairi, & Ibrahim, 2021).…”

<em>In 2016, the Indonesian Government emphasized character education by sparking a Character Strengthening Program or Program Penguatan Karakter/PPK to build and strengthen the students’ character. This program focuses on character building but it mainly highlights five main good characters which are religiosity, nationalism, integrity, independence, and cooperation. This study aims to deeply understand the perspective of students, teachers, and schools toward knowledge and value of character education and to explore the linkage among them as a complete picture. A mixed-method research was employed in this study. The data was collected from 2 junior and 2 senior high schools, which involved 4 headmasters, 12 teachers, and 212 students. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the roles of teachers and schools in the internalization of character education among students, while the qualitative approach was employed to understand teachers’ and schools' perspectives. This study finds that based on the students’ perspective, teachers' and schools' roles are playing a significant effect on the internalization of the values of character education to them. The school and the teachers were not familiar with terms used by the governments PPK programs. Despite, the school and teacher are in synergy in developing the students’ good character with their own character development terms such as “akhlaq mulia” which is actually has similar values with the Government’s Character Strengthening Program</em>

The iCGPA assessment appeared to be a comprehensive measure of students' performance (Zubairu, Dauda, Paiko, & Sakariyau, 2017).

Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) assessment is introduced in Malaysia in year 2015 as an assessment system to report the students' performance in knowledge together with attributes of ethics, leadership and entrepreneurship. The awareness, opinion, implementation and challenges regarding the iCGPA assessment of the lecturers from two faculties of two Malaysian universities were compared. A questionnaire of 29 items with five-point Likert-scale was developed as an instrument. IBM SPSS Statistics 20 was used for statistical analysis. Cronbach's alpha was used to measure internal consistency. Mann-Whitney U test was performed to compare the differences between two independent groups via comparison of mean ranks. The awareness, opinion and implementation of iCGPA assessment by the lecturers from A University were significantly higher than those of the lecturers from B University, with p-values of 0.003, 0.041 and 0.006, respectively. Lecturers from A University felt that challenges faced by them were greater as compared to the lecturers from B University, but the difference was not statistically significant. Universities could organize workshops to distribute information about iCGPA assessment and arrange strategies to reduce lecturers' worries about the increment of workload resulting from the assessment.
