“…Moreover, as developing countries shift towards financial inclusion, digital transformation will impact the future, requiring businesses and consumers to be digitally aware and knowledgeable because of the inevitability of increasing noncash transactions to purchase products and services. Esawe et al (2018) assert that developing countries, particularly Egypt, would not progress unless massive innovation occurs, frequently resulting in a paradigm shift. This innovation may begin at the individual level; however, by coordinating efforts and focusing on continual development, a transformation that is not just local but also global is achievable.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the factors that influence behavioral intention (BI) and usage of e-wallets by extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with constructs, namely, mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach This quantitative study used partial least squares structural equation modeling on a sample of 576 mobile e-wallet users surveyed online. Findings The key findings indicate that the model can explain 58.8% of the variance in behavioral intention and 53.8% in usage. Moreover, mobile self-efficacy has a significant influence on perceived enjoyment. Perceived enjoyment significantly affects satisfaction, effort expectancy and performance expectancy. Furthermore, effort expectancy significantly influences customer satisfaction in contrast to performance expectancy. In addition, although performance expectancy, social influence and satisfaction significantly impact consumers’ behavioral intention, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions condition have an insignificant influence on consumers’ behavioral intention. E-wallet stakeholders can use the findings of this study to make strategic decisions regarding the e-wallet ecosystem. Originality/value Although previous studies have independently addressed the impact of mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction on consumers’ behavioral intention and usage behavior, the expanded framework with the possible relationships proposed in this study has never been adequately studied in previous research in the context of e-wallets in developing countries based on an empirical analysis. This study represents one of the first attempts to improve the UTAUT by empirically analyzing these relationships.

This research aims to investigate how Zakat is disbursed to aid in disaster relief efforts and its role in humanitarian efforts during and after disasters, using the case study of the 2018 Lombok earthquake in Indonesia. Data for this study were collected through interviews with BAZNAS managers using a semi-structured interview method. The steps in analyzing interview data involved data coding, identifying themes or patterns, developing a narrative, and developing a theory. The main findings of the research indicate that the distribution of Zakat for disasters has sustained impacts on the environment, social aspects, and the economy of affected communities. It highlights the crucial role of Zakat in disaster mitigation for humanitarian purposes. The theoretical implications of these findings affirm the critical role of Zakat in disaster mitigation, an aspect that has not been fully explored in previous academic literature. These findings contribute to the development of Islamic social finance by highlighting the role of Zakat in disaster management and exploring its potential application in humanitarian efforts and disaster mitigation. The practical implications for the government include enhancing collaboration between BAZNAS and disaster relief agencies and improving public understanding of Zakat principles for humanitarian purposes and disaster mitigation.
