The economic consequences of Shariah governance: a systematic literature review and research agenda

Purpose The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive critical review of previous research on Shariah governance (SG) during the past three decades. This research addresses a critical research problem: the fragmentation of knowledge regarding how SG characteristics affect the multidimensional performance of Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) beyond conventional financial metrics. Despite the growing importance of IFIs in the global financial system, we still inadequately understand how SG practices influence operational efficiency, risk profiles, stakeholder trust and long-term sustainability. This limitation hinders the development of comprehensive SG frameworks that could enhance the resilience and ethical compliance of IFIs. In addition, this study offers insights into the phases of development of SG, identifies the critical gaps in the literature and recommends for future research. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors use a systematic literature review approach for a sample of 110 studies from Scopus and Web of Science databases. Based on identified quality assessment criteria, they evaluated the sample of this study in terms of journals, methodology, theories, modelling, research outcomes and SGs features. Findings Using a systematic literature review approach for a sample of 110 studies from Scopus and Web of Science databases, this paper findings demonstrate that there is a growing interest to explore further SG aspects because of the rapid steady growth and the high performance of IFIs. Likewise, the review reveals that most of existing studies are quantitative and were carried out using archived data. In addition, the existing literature has primarily focused on the outcomes of SG. Overall, this paper shows that there are plenty avenues for future research. The findings identify a number of methodological problems and concerns and discuss the implications of these problems, while also providing recommendations for future research. Research limitations/implications This paper makes significant contributions to both corporate finance literature and practical applications in several important ways. First, this study represents a pioneering comprehensive examination of all aspects of SG, filling a notable gap in existing literature. By using a systematic approach, the authors thoroughly evaluate relevant previous works on SG and provide evidence-based recommendations for future research directions, creating a foundation for scholarly advancement in this field. Second, through the synthesis and analysis of an extensive body of research, this study develops a nuanced understanding of the economic consequences of SG mechanisms. These insights offer substantial practical value by providing evidence-based guidance to practitioners and regulatory bodies in developing more effective policies and recommendations. Financial institutions can leverage these findings to design governance frameworks that enhance compliance while optimizing performance, while regulators can use this synthesis to revise the current policy framework and formulate more comprehensive and effective oversight mechanisms that address the unique challenges of IFIs. Practical implications Through the systematic literature review of the economic consequences of SG, the authors demonstrate that the societal implications extend beyond the financial sector. The findings reveal how strong SG practices enhance public trust and financial inclusion, particularly among conservative Muslim communities. Improved governance mechanisms promote responsible financial practices, influencing policy development and enhancing financial literacy at the community level. These outcomes illustrate the practical impact of governance improvements on community well-being and social development. Originality/value To the best knowledge of the authors, this study contributes to the literature by being the first of its kind to discuss the development of SG literature. This study provides a comprehensive knowledge assessment of existent SG research and offers advice regarding improvements in research, policy and practice by identifying possible knowledge gaps. Accordingly, this study offers a consistent summary of the past and a roadmap for future research on SG.

A Systematic Literature Review of Fleksibilitas Dan Budaya Organisasi Penting Bagi UKM Di Pasar Yang Kompetitif

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play an important role in driving global economic growth, but often face major challenges in responding to fast-changing market dynamics. Limited resources, a volatile business environment, and intense competition require SMEs to have effective adaptive strategies. Operational flexibility is emerging as a key element that enables SMEs to adapt to these changes, but previous literature shows gaps in understanding how this flexibility is applied to improve business efficiency. Furthermore, there is a lack of in-depth exploration of how adaptive organizational culture interacts with operational flexibility to create competitive advantage, especially in the context of SMEs in emerging markets. This research aims to explore two main questions: (1) How does operational flexibility help SMEs adapt to market dynamics and improve business efficiency? (2) How does the interaction between adaptive organizational culture and flexibility create competitive advantage for SMEs? This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to analyze the relevant literature, covering 16 primary sources that have been selected based on certain criteria to ensure the quality and relevance of the research. The results show that operational flexibility enables SMEs to respond quickly to market changes through resource optimization and strategic decision-making. This flexibility also helps improve operational efficiency by enabling SMEs to adopt technological innovations and adjust their business strategies according to market needs. Moreover, the interaction between operational flexibility and an adaptive organizational culture, supported by values such as collaboration, innovation, and learning, is shown to create dynamic capabilities that strengthen SMEs' competitiveness. This research contributes to the literature by providing a deeper understanding of the strategic role of operational flexibility and adaptive culture in supporting SME performance. Key recommendations include the importance of integrating operational flexibility with the development of an adaptive organizational culture as a holistic strategy to improve SMEs' competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market.

Eco-profile approach in watershed and river basin management for addressing water rights and conflicts at micro scale

Eco-profile studies help in continuous assessment and monitoring of river basin functions; the planners, and decision-makers deploy study findings to address problems associated within river basins. In this paper, we reviewed the study covering the eco-profile based watershed and river basin management practices and the benefits of eco-profile in understanding and addressing water-related issues at the micro-level. The study uses a systematic literature review approach called the PRISMA framework (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) to collect and process the literature. Our study found that eco-profile based implementations improves the river basin functions and addresses the micro-level issues related to water rights and conflicts that are usually not addressed during water resources management. Through eco-profile study, the key ecological indicators at micro and macro scales can be identified that help to predict the continuous changes of biotic and abiotic conditions within the watershed and river basin regions. The present study discusses the advantage of eco-profile in the watershed, measures to comprehend river basin function, community role, and approach to solve the water rights and conflicts at the micro scale.

The Role of Homecare Nursing in Strengthening Community-Based Disaster Preparedness and Response: A Systematic Review

Disaster preparedness and response are critical components of community health resilience, yet the role of homecare nursing within this framework remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate and synthesize existing research on how homecare nurses contribute to disaster management, with a focus on preparedness and response phases. Employing a systematic literature review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA 2020 methodology, 38 peer-reviewed articles from major databases were analyzed thematically. Key findings reveal that homecare nurses play significant roles in early warning communication, individualized evacuation planning, and continuity of care post-disaster, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly and chronically ill. However, evidence also indicates substantial gaps in training, policy inclusion, and structural integration into national disaster response systems. Thematic synthesis identified three dominant themes: decentralized preparedness, home-based continuity care, and systemic underrecognition of homecare in emergency frameworks. The study concludes that homecare nursing is a strategic yet underutilized asset in disaster risk reduction and recovery efforts. Strengthening policy, competency frameworks, and formal inclusion of homecare in disaster governance are necessary to enhance community resilience globally.

Sustainable Airport Development: A Literature Review Based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Methodology, Using OpenAlex Database

Airport sustainability has gained increasing attention as the aviation industry faces the challenge of balancing economic growth, environmental responsibility, and social standards. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) using the OpenAlex database. The PRISMA 2020 (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology was applied to refine the selection process, resulting in 66 relevant studies. Then, a bibliometric–systematic literature review (B-SLR) approach was employed to analyze trends and identify research gaps. The findings indicate that most studies often focus on two sustainability pillars at a time, while neglecting a fully integrated perspective. Not many research works simultaneously address all three dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social), leading to fragmented insights into sustainable airport management. Notably, some industry-driven reports are starting to suggest emerging holistic approaches, but the majority of the academic literature remains segmented. Hence, this study highlights the need for a more comprehensive research framework that considers environmental, economic, and social factors concurrently. Future research should integrate these dimensions to develop practical and well-balanced sustainability strategies; while methodological limitations may exist in this work, such as language constraints and dataset selection criteria, this review provides valuable insights into airport sustainability and lays the groundwork for further scientific studies.
