The development of Islamic banking plays a crucial role in driving economic growth through the principles of fair finance. However, the performance of Islamic banks still faces challenges in maintaining stable profitability. Two key factors often cited as determinants of performance are risk management and customer satisfaction. On the one hand, effective risk management is necessary to control problem financing, while on the other hand, customer satisfaction fosters loyalty and funding stability. However, the existing literature tends to examine these two aspects separately, thus lacking a complete picture of their integrative relationship with profitability. This study, a systematic literature review (SLR), aims to analyze the relationship between risk management, customer satisfaction, and profitability of Islamic banks, as well as their implications for economic growth. The review process adopted the PRISMA 2020 protocol, encompassing academic publications from 2015–2025 from various databases. Article selection was conducted using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria, ensuring that only relevant studies were further analyzed. The study's findings demonstrate two key pillars supporting Islamic banking performance: effective risk management—particularly in controlling problem financing—and a high level of customer satisfaction, which supports loyalty and the stability of third-party funds. However, the findings also indicate a methodological gap. The literature rarely develops models that examine the simultaneous influence of risk management and customer satisfaction on profitability. Furthermore, the limitations of qualitative research and the weaknesses of customer satisfaction measurement instruments hinder a more comprehensive understanding. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of developing a more integrative theory of Islamic banking performance. Future managerial strategies should emphasize the harmonization of risk management and service orientation, so that Islamic banks not only maintain profitability but also contribute more significantly to economic growth.

Findings reveal that Seblak Bujangan has successfully transformed from a simple food stall into a social hub for students by combining friendly service, a comfortable atmosphere, and creative digital marketing such as Instagram and TikTok promotions. The sense of togetherness and inclusivity fosters strong emotional attachment, leading to customer loyalty manifested through repeat visits and positive word-of-mouth. The study concludes that marketing strategies grounded in social and national values can enhance consumer engagement while contributing to social harmony. This approach provides new insights into value-based marketing for SMEs, showing that economic and social functions can coexist to create sustainable consumer relationships.

Corporate Communication helps companies build trust and loyalty by conveying consistent and transparent messages to the public.

This study emphasizes the importance of structured and adaptive corporate communication in dealing with public pressure to build trust and maintain the institution's image.

This study aims to determine the effect of Customer Intimacy, Price Fairness, and Customer Bonding on Customer Loyalty at Reni Salon Tales Ngadiluwih. The selection of the research location is based on the consideration that Reni Salon is a beauty service business that has regular customers, but the level of customer loyalty cannot be measured precisely. The type of research used is quantitative research with an unknown population. The research sample amounted to 105 respondents who were determined by purposive sampling technique, namely the selection of samples based on certain criteria relevant to the research. The analysis techniques used include data quality testing, classical assumption testing, and multiple linear regression analysis with the help of Statistical Product and Service Solution (SPSS) version 25. This analysis is used to determine the influence of both partial and simultaneous between independent variables on the dependent variable. The results of the study indicate that partially, Customer Intimacy does not have a significant influence on Customer Loyalty. This indicates that personal closeness between the salon and customers is not yet a major factor in forming loyalty. Meanwhile, Price Fairness has a significant influence on Customer Loyalty, meaning that prices that are considered fair and appropriate by customers can increase their loyalty. Customer Bonding also had no significant effect on Customer Loyalty, indicating that emotional bonds or close customer relationships do not yet play a significant role. However, simultaneous test results show that all three variables—Customer Intimacy, Price Fairness, and Customer Bonding—jointly have a significant effect on Customer Loyalty. These findings suggest that price fairness plays the most critical role in enhancing customer loyalty compared to other factors. Therefore, Reni Salon management is advised to focus more on fair pricing strategies, along with efforts to strengthen closeness and bonds with customers.

This study employed a quantitative survey approach to know the effect of service quality and corporate culture on customer satisfaction at PT Bank SulutGo, Surabaya branch. The sample consisted of 94 customers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The multiple regression analysis results showed a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0,530, indicating that the two independent variables together explained 53% of the variable in customer satisfaction. The F-test yielded a value of 53,378 with a p-value of 0,000 (p < 0,05), indicating that the regression model was jointly significant and that service quality and corporate culture together influence customer satisfaction. Partial t-tests showed that the Service Quality variable (X1) significantly affected customer satisfaction with a t-value of 2,227 and a p-value of 0,028 (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Corporate Culture variable (X2) also significantly affected customer satisfaction with a t-value of 4,032 and a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that higher customer perceptions of service quality and corporate culture lead to higher satisfaction levels. Partial t-tests further revealed that both independent variables significantly affected customer satisfaction. The Service Quality variable (X1) had a significant effect on customer satisfaction, with a t-value of 2.227 and a p-value of 0.028 (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Corporate Culture variable (X2) also had a significant impact, with a t-value of 4.032 and a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). These findings highlight the importance of both service quality and corporate culture in shaping customer satisfaction. The results suggest that improving service quality and fostering a positive corporate culture can significantly enhance customer satisfaction, which is critical in maintaining customer loyalty and competitive advantage in the banking sector.

This study examines the influence of product quality, service quality, and word of mouth on purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café Surakarta, based on 100 randomly selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis shows that service quality and word of mouth have a positive and significant effect, while product quality is not significant. The coefficient of determination of 61.3% indicates that the independent variables explain most of the variation in purchase decisions, contributing to marketing management research in the café industry. The results highlight the crucial role of service quality in shaping customer perceptions and driving decision-making in the café industry. High-quality service fosters positive customer experiences, which, in turn, encourage repeat visits and enhance loyalty. Additionally, the significant influence of word of mouth underscores the importance of social interactions and customer recommendations in the decision-making process, especially in a service-based business like a café, where personal experiences are often shared and valued among peer groups. Conversely, the insignificance of product quality suggests that while product standards are important, they may not be the primary driver of purchase decisions at DNA Spot Café. This indicates that customers may prioritize the overall experience, atmosphere, and peer recommendations over product differentiation when choosing where to dine or spend leisure time. These findings contribute to the body of marketing management research, particularly in the context of the café industry, by emphasizing the strategic importance of service excellence and customer engagement strategies to enhance brand reputation and influence consumer behavior. Future research could explore additional factors such as pricing, promotional strategies, and customer loyalty programs to provide a more comprehensive understanding of purchase decision dynamics.
