Psychological well-being in the workplace and educational environment is influenced not only by policies and facilities but also by psychological approaches that touch on individuals' mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. This study aims to explain how psychological approaches can enhance well-being and motivation. The results of the study show that integrating Islamic educational values, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence can help individuals manage stress, increase self-confidence, and strengthen the meaning of life. In addition, adjusting learning materials to the needs of students also plays a role in supporting mental health. Individual motivation can be increased through approaches that align with psychological needs, such as fulfilling basic needs, providing rewards, and supporting autonomy and social relationships. The implementation of strategies such as open communication, good leadership, and a comfortable work environment also contributes to increasing motivation and performance. Thus, the psychological approach has an important role in creating a healthy, productive, and sustainable educational and organizational environment.

The development of modern economic systems shows that conventional approaches are often criticized for focusing too much on rational and mathematical aspects, while giving less attention to ethical and moral values in economic activities. This condition has encouraged the emergence of alternative systems that combine material and spiritual elements, one of which is the Islamic economic system.This study aims to analyze the characteristics and structure of the Islamic economic system as a framework based on Sharia principles. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature review method by examining various relevant sources. The data are analyzed descriptively to better understand the basic concepts and structure of the Islamic economic system.The results show that Islamic economics has key characteristics such as a strong connection to divine values, a balance between individual and social interests, and an emphasis on justice and social responsibility in economic activities. Therefore, Islamic economics not only regulates economic practices but also incorporates moral and ethical values to achieve overall social well-being.This study is expected to contribute to the development of Islamic economic studies and can be used as a reference for building a more fair and sustainable economic system.

This study aims to analyze the concept of social welfare in the thought of Al-Farabi and its relevance to economic development. Al-Farabi explains that the main goal of social life is to achieve happiness (al-sa‘ādah), which is not only related to material welfare but also includes moral, intellectual, and spiritual values. This research uses a qualitative method with a library research approach by analyzing the works of Al-Farabi and various relevant scientific literatures. The results show that the concept of social welfare according to Al-Farabi is based on four main principles: social happiness, social justice, community cooperation, and the role of morality and education. These principles indicate that social welfare is not only dependent on economic aspects but also on ethical values, wise leadership, and social cooperation within society. Furthermore, Al-Farabi’s thought is also relevant to modern economic development, particularly in terms of distributive justice, moral-based development, and the role of the state in achieving public welfare.

Cultural traditions play a vital role in sustainable tourism by shaping social values, collective identity, and long-term cultural continuity. Caos Dahar, a Javanese practice involving communal food preparation and sharing, serves as an expression of gratitude, spirituality, and social cohesion. Despite its cultural significance, it has been rarely examined from a management perspective, particularly in relation to its integration into sustainable tourism systems. This study analyzes Caos Dahar as a form of cultural tradition management and explores its contribution to sustainable tourism. The research highlights the lack of management-oriented studies combining cultural traditions with sustainability frameworks. A qualitative descriptive approach was adopted, using secondary qualitative data from documented practices and relevant academic literature. Data were analyzed using thematic categorization and interpreted through a multi-theoretical framework, including motivation theory (ERG), social network theory, and cultural philosophy. The findings reveal that Caos Dahar functions as a managed cultural practice, involving implicit management processes such as planning, coordination, and role distribution. The tradition fulfills existential, relational, and growth-oriented needs, sustains social networks, and exhibits adaptability across various cultural dimensions. These characteristics enable Caos Dahar to contribute to the social, economic, and cultural aspects of sustainability within tourism. The study concludes that cultural traditions can be viewed as intangible strategic resources when properly managed. This research expands management and tourism studies by offering a management-oriented interpretation of cultural traditions and moving beyond outcome-based sustainability perspectives toward process-oriented cultural tradition management.

The Halal Management Sistem (HMS) has often been positioned as an administrative compliance tool that focuses on regulatory and certification requirements. This approach has the potential to simplify the meaning of halal by overlooking the inherent values, especially in the context of Muslim businesses. This study aims to interpret the understanding of the Halal Management Sistem not only as an administrative compliance mechanism, but also as an expression of worship and spiritual commitment in business practices. This study uses a qualitative approach through a literature review of scientific articles, books, and relevant publications discussing halal management, Islamic business ethics, and the perspectives of business actors. The results of the study show that the HMS is understood by business actors as a manifestation of religious obedience integrated into economic activities, where the application of halal principles is seen as part of devotion to God and a form of moral responsibility in running a business. In this understanding, administrative compliance is positioned as an implication of spiritual awareness, not as the main objective of the sistem's implementation. The research findings also indicate that the spiritual meaning of SMH encourages consistency in halal practices and strengthens long-term business orientation. Conceptually, this study has implications for the development of halal management studies by placing the spiritual dimension as the main foundation in the implementation of the Halal Management Sistem, particularly in supporting sustainable and ethical business practices.

This community service program aims to develop an empowerment model for Etawa goat milk micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kepuh Klagen Village, Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency through an Islamic Social Entrepreneurship (ISE) approach. Kepuh Klagen Village has significant economic potential in Etawa goat farming; however, MSME actors face several challenges, including limited halal-thayyib-based production capacity, low literacy in Islamic business management and finance, weak branding and marketing strategies, and the absence of sustainable collaboration among farmers. This program employed a participatory approach through mentoring, training, and capacity building activities. The implementation stages included identifying potentials and problems, providing training on Islamic Social Entrepreneurship values and Islamic business ethics, improving production quality based on halal-thayyib standards, strengthening Islamic financial management practices, and developing digital marketing capabilities. The results indicate an increase in MSME actors’ understanding of Islamic social entrepreneurship, improvements in production hygiene and product quality, and the emergence of collaborative awareness among Etawa goat milk entrepreneurs. The ISE approach proved effective not only in enhancing economic value but also in strengthening social responsibility, spiritual values, and business sustainability. This empowerment model is expected to be replicable for other local commodity-based MSMEs in rural areas.

This study examines the concept of the Great Filter as a metaphor to explain why only a few Islamic missionary organizations and startups are able to survive amidst digital disruption, while many others fail. Disruption, characterized by rapid changes in technology, regulations, and societal behavior, creates significant pressure that demands high levels of adaptability and innovation. This study uses a qualitative method based on a literature review by analyzing various literature related to entrepreneurship, digital missionary work, and dynamic capabilities. The results show that the success of Islamic missionary organizations in facing disruption is determined by a combination of visionary leadership, continuous innovation, mastery of digital technology, and the organization's ability to learn and adapt. Conversely, failure is often caused by limited funding, minimal innovation, and weak digital strategies. Thus, the Great Filter can be understood as a natural selection process that only resilient, adaptive organizations can overcome, and is able to combine spiritual values with entrepreneurial innovation.

This article aims to explore the leadership management of Timothy, a young leader in the Bible, by examining his values, principles, challenges, and the relevance of his leadership for contemporary Christian students. The study employs a qualitative literature review method by analyzing the books of 1 and 2 Timothy, supported by relevant management and theological literature. The findings reveal that Timothy’s leadership is characterized by faithfulness, exemplary living, humility, courage, spiritual discipline, and a strong commitment to maintaining the purity of Christ’s teachings. In facing challenges such as false doctrines, social pressures, and limited congregational support, Timothy demonstrated managerial skills grounded in faith and obedience to the guidance of the Apostle Paul. The study highlights that Timothy’s leadership principles remain highly relevant for Christian students today in developing integrity, resilience, and service-oriented leadership. Furthermore, his example provides valuable insights into integrating spiritual management within academic and organizational contexts. This article contributes to a deeper theological understanding of leadership management that unites faith-based values, moral responsibility, and practical competence to respond wisely and ethically to the challenges of modern life.

This study aims to analyze how the integration of Islamic economic values operates in the management of School Operational Assistance (BOS) funds in Islamic schools and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors, as well as stakeholders’ perceptions regarding the application of sharia values in financial administrative practices. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing stages. The findings reveal that Islamic economic principles such as amanah (trustworthiness), sidq (honesty), al-‘adl (justice), and mas’uliyyah (accountability) have been internalized within the organizational culture and individual behavior of school managers, although not yet fully institutionalized. Supporting factors include religious leadership, Islamic ethical organizational culture, and community participation, while the main constraints involve limited human resources, low literacy in sharia accounting, and the absence of a faith-based monitoring system. Stakeholders demonstrate a strong moral awareness of sharia values but with limited technical understanding. The study concludes that effective integration requires synergy between spiritual values, technical capacity, and institutional policies to establish transparent and socially just financial governance in Islamic education institutions.

Zakat is one of the pillars of Islam and plays a strategic role in creating spiritual and socio-economic balance among the people. As an instrument of Islamic economics, zakat serves to distribute wealth fairly, reduce social inequality, and empower the poor to achieve independence. This study aims to analyze the concept of zakat in Islam, its social and economic functions, and its implementation in the context of development in Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative descriptive with a literature study approach that examines primary sources such as the Quran and Hadith, as well as secondary literature from journals, BAZNAS reports, and previous research. Therefore, optimizing zakat requires a comprehensive strategy through digitizing the collection system, an empowerment-based productive approach, integrating national mustahik data, and synergy between the government, zakat institutions, and the private sector. With professional and empowerment-oriented management, zakat has the potential to become a crucial pillar in realizing sustainable socio-economic development and a just and prosperous society.

This study aims to examine the implementation and compliance with halal principles in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products in Indonesia. The halal aspect in these industries is crucial, as it directly relates to the permissibility of raw materials, production processes, and distribution that are consumed and used by Muslim communities. The research method applied is a literature review, analyzing government regulations, religious fatwas, and relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that the implementation of halal principles covers various aspects, including the selection of raw materials free from prohibited or impure substances, production processes that meet hygiene and halal standards, proper storage, distribution that is separated from non-halal products, and transparent marketing strategies. Producers’ compliance with halal requirements is influenced by several factors, such as growing consumer awareness, the role of government regulations in mandating halal certification, and corporate social as well as ethical responsibility. Nevertheless, there are still obstacles in its application, including the limited understanding of halal standards among certain producers, the lack of halal testing facilities, and certification costs that are considered burdensome for small and medium-sized enterprises. This study emphasizes that the success of halal implementation in pharmaceutical and cosmetic products requires collaboration among all stakeholders, including government bodies, halal certification authorities, industries, and society. Through such synergistic efforts, the sustainability of the halal industry can be ensured while also providing safety, comfort, and spiritual assurance for Muslim consumers in Indonesia.

This study aims to analyze the role of psychological well-being as a mediator in the influence of emotional, spiritual, and intellectual intelligence on lecturer performance, with job demands as a moderating variable. The study used a quantitative design with a survey method on 130 university lecturers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that measured emotional, spiritual, intellectual intelligence, psychological well-being, job demands, and lecturer performance, then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM-PLS). The results showed that emotional intelligence did not significantly influence lecturer psychological well-being or performance. Intellectual and spiritual intelligence had a significant positive effect on psychological well-being, but did not have a direct impact on performance. Psychological well-being was also not proven to be a mediator in the relationship between the three intelligences and performance. Conversely, job demands had a strong and significant direct influence on lecturer performance, although its moderating role in the relationship between psychological well-being and performance was not supported. These findings confirm that external factors such as workload and job pressure are more dominant in determining lecturer performance than internal psychological factors. Practically, the implications of this study encourage universities to manage workload distribution proportionally, provide organizational support, and create a conducive work environment. Theoretically, this study enriches the Job Demands–Resources framework by demonstrating that psychological well-being has a limited impact when job demands are high. Future research is recommended using more valid instruments and longitudinal designs to gain a deeper understanding.

This study aims to reconstruct the Islamic macroeconomic paradigm by focusing on fiscal policy and responses to resource scarcity. Using a descriptive qualitative approach based on literature review, the study reveals that fiscal policy in Islam functions not only as a tool for economic stabilization but also as an instrument for equitable distribution and sustainable resource management. Historical analysis of fiscal practices during the Prophet Muhammad's era illustrates a zakat-, kharaj-, and fai-based system managed transparently and justly through baitul mal. In the modern context, challenges such as inequality, resource exploitation, and energy crises require a new approach grounded in maqashid shariah as the foundation of macroeconomic planning. Therefore, reconstructing Islamic macroeconomics is essential to establishing a just, sustainable, and spiritually rooted economic system.

Pesantren, as an Islamic educational institution that has long been a center of religious learning and character development, has great potential in advancing entrepreneurship based on local wisdom. The role of pesantren is not only limited to teaching religious studies, but also includes coaching students to have economic independence and competitiveness in the midst of the Times. Local wisdom that grows around pesantren can be an important capital in developing businesses that are relevant to the needs of the community. However, optimizing the function of pesantren in producing students who are independent and able to compete still faces various challenges. One of the main obstacles is the development of Human Resources (HR) which is not only oriented to mastering the theory, but also on practical skills and understanding of local values. Without the right strategy, such great potential is difficult to realize sustainably. This study aims to explore strategies that can be applied in the development of human resources in order to improve the performance of local wisdom-based entrepreneurship in the boarding school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies on several boarding schools that have succeeded in forming productive business units by utilizing local potential, such as agriculture, fisheries, crafts, and food product processing. Research findings indicate that several crucial factors in building entrepreneurial human resources in pesantren include: strengthening character and work ethic, hands-on practice-based training in the field, collaboration with local business actors for knowledge transfer and market networking, as well as historical and philosophical understanding of local wisdom values. The success of entrepreneurship development in pesantren depends on the integration of spiritual aspects, practical skills, and knowledge about the potential of the region. Based on the results of the study, an integrated entrepreneurship training model that combines science, faith, and concrete action is recommended. This Model is expected to produce great pesantren entrepreneurs, competitive, and able to adapt and face global challenges without leaving their identity and noble values.

This study aims to determine the effect of internal motivation and transformational leadership on employee performance with spiritual intelligence as a moderating variable at the Lubuklinggau City Social Service. The background of this study is based on the importance of the role of human resources in achieving organizational goals and the decline in employee work productivity as seen from monthly performance achievement data. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative method. The sample used was all 31 employees of the Lubuklinggau City Social Service, with a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and questionnaires with a Likert scale. Data analysis was carried out using SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results of this study are expected to provide empirical evidence that internal motivation and transformational leadership have an effect on employee performance, and spiritual intelligence can moderate this effect. This study also provides theoretical contributions to the development of human resource management science and practical benefits in improving the performance of public organizations.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in driving the local economy but often face constraints in funding and market access. This study aims to analyze strategies for enhancing competitiveness and local creativity through a case study of Tajudin Shop, a microenterprise based in Cikampek. The business leverages partnerships with local doll artisans, digital marketplace distribution, and a sharia-based financing scheme through mudharabah contracts. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, using field observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation over a two-month research period. The findings show that the integration of community empowerment, digital marketing, and ethical financing significantly improves business competitiveness. These strategies not only expand market reach and increase revenue but also strengthen social networks and spiritual values in business practices. The study implies that value-based approaches, local collaboration, and technological innovation can serve as a replicable model for sustainable MSME development in other regions with similar characteristics.

Women entrepreneurship in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) plays a vital role in the local economy. However, women entrepreneurs often face complex emotional and psychological challenges due to their dual roles as housewives and entrepreneurs. Market uncertainty, social pressure, and lack of support from their environment further burden their workload. This study aims to explore the subjective experiences of women micro MSMEs, particularly in dealing with the psychological pressures of carrying out these roles. The research method used is a qualitative phenomenological approach with seven informants from the culinary, handicraft, and online trading sectors. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, then analyzed using a thematic approach based on the Miles & Huberman model. The results of the study revealed four main themes: (1) the pressure of dual roles that often trigger stress and emotional exhaustion (burnout), (2) chronic anxiety related to fear of business failure and income instability, (3) spirituality and religious activities as meaning-based coping mechanisms, and (4) the importance of social support from partners, family, and community as a balance of emotional conditions. These findings confirm that the success and sustainability of women's businesses depend not only on economic capital or technical skills, but are also significantly influenced by mental health and the strength of social networks. Therefore, empowerment programs for women's MSMEs need to be designed holistically, encompassing psychosocial aspects, coping strategy training, and strengthening supportive and inclusive social networks.

The economic ideas of the great Islamic jurist Abu Ishaq al-Syatibi are discussed in this article. Syatibi is most known for his formulation of the maqashid al-syari'ah, or goals of Islamic law.  Using primary and secondary sources found in library databases, the study takes a descriptive-analytical approach to history.  The results show that when it comes to fiscal measures like taxes, government expenditure, and minimum wage legislation, al-Syatibi stresses that maslahah (public interest) should be the primary aim of economic policy.  Efficient, fair, and sharia-compliant economic policies that take into account society's main, secondary, and supplementary requirements are essential, says al-Syatibi.  Even if it differs from more contemporary need theories like Maslow's hierarchy of requirements, al-Syatibi's maqashid al-syari'ah succeeds in meeting fundamental human needs by highlighting the role of religion.  Contributing significantly to the growth of Islamic economics, al-Syatibi's ideas highlight a middle ground between material and spiritual well-being.
