Why Do Religious Ideas Matter? The Multidimensionality of the Indonesian Public Sphere

In this paper, I challenge the claim of the universalistic public sphere by providing contextual complexity of the national and local public sphere in Indonesia. In the original version of the Habermasian public sphere, people sat together in the salon and the café to exchange their ideas, sustaining the secular, capitalistic, and individualistic public sphere. However, further critics have shown the problems of putting secular ideas as the central force of the public sphere, particularly as it overlooks the complexity of the public sphere in religious contexts. These critics are particularly relevant to understanding the Indonesian public sphere in which the Muslim-majority population aims to dominate public life, as the religiously motivated political agenda has a further consequence for democratisation in Indonesia, which has been heralded as a prime example of harmony between Islamic values and Western democracy. At the same time, digitalisation has facilitated a religious revival in the national public sphere, combining religious sentiment within a highly individualised and digitalised society. This paper analyses the challenges of the digital divide in the local public sphere of pondok pesantren (Indonesian Islamic boarding schools). With a lack of digital access and democratic practices in day-to-day pondok pesantren life, communalistic religious practices have dominated the public sphere of these boarding schools. Within such complexity, this paper deliberates on how the local and national contexts in Indonesia shed light on the multidimensionality of the public sphere.

The Effect of Religiosity on Customer Trust on Brand Loyalty to McDonalds in Generation Z After the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The results of the fit model test show that religious values and consumer trust significantly impact McDonald''s brand loyalty in the Z generation. Consumer trust has a positive and significant effect on Brand loyalty (Z), with the remaining (1 - 0.505) = 0.495 (49.5%), which is influenced by other variables not determined by the model. This research contributes by bridging the gap between religious values, consumer trust, and brand loyalty, in the post-israeli conflict Z generation (Generation Z, Muslims in Indonesia).

The impact of religiosity and financial literacy on financial management behavior and well-being among Indonesian Muslims

This study examines the effects of religiosity and Islamic financial literacy on Muslims’ financial behavior and well-being. Additionally, it investigates the impact of sociodemographic variables on the centrality of religiosity, financial literacy, financial management behavior, and the well-being of Muslim consumers. This research integrates perspectives from Rational Choice Theory, the Rational Choice Theory of Religion, and Behavioral Finance to illuminate the mechanisms behind these relationships. Data were collected through a non-probability sampling method from 1141 Muslim individuals aged between 18 and 65 living in Indonesia. The results indicate that the centrality of religion in the lives of Muslim consumers and Islamic financial literacy significantly affects their financial management behavior and financial well-being.
