Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the implementation of Sharīʿah values in Islamic banks operating in Indonesia. The research uses survey data taken from 240 respondents from types of Islamic banks operating in Indonesia. These consist of three full-fledged Islamic banks namely, subsidiaries of state-owned and private conventional banks and the Islamic business unit of a conventional bank. Each Islamic banks survey respondents represented 30 employees and 30 customers. The results of the study show that in general there are differences in the implementation of Sharīʿah values among Islamic banks. Our findings also show different perceptions between Islamic bank employees and customers in terms of Sharīʿah value implementation in the respective banks. From the four Sharīʿah principles measured, justice was found to have the lowest score compared to other principles such as brotherhood, benefit and balance. الغرض من هذه الورقة هو تحليل ومقارنة تنفيذ القيم الشرعية في البنوك الإسلامية العاملة في إندونيسيا. استخدم البحث البيانات الأساسية المأخوذة من 240 مجيبين من أربعة أنواع البنوك الإسلامية العاملة في إندونيسيا، التي تتكون من ثلاث بنوك إسلامية بالكامل (منذ تأسيسها، شركة تابعة لبنك تقليدي للدولة، شركة تابعة لبنك تقليدي خاص) ووحدة الأعمال الإسلامية لبنك تقليدي. كل بنك إسلامي ممثل بعدد 30 موظفا و 30 عميلا. وقد أظهرت نتائج الدراسة أنه - من حيث العموم - هناك اختلافات في تنفيذ القيم الشرعية بين البنوك الإسلامية. كما تشير أيضا إلى وجود تصور مختلف بين موظفي البنوك الإسلامية وعملائه من حيث تنفيذ البنك الإسلامي للقيم الشرعية في ممارساته. من المبادئ الشرعية الأربعة التي تمت قياسها، وجد أن العدالة حصلت على الدرجة الأدنى مقارنة بغيرها من المبادئ وهي الأخوة والمنفعة والتوازن.
