Abstract

The sustainability of waqf funds will help solve the problem of undeveloped waqf assets and improve socioeconomic Ummah. The purpose of this study is to examine the nexus between information disclosure and giving behaviour among Waqif. Survey research found out that basic background, non-financial and future information disclosure does motivate Waqif behaviour to give cash waqf. The originality value of this study is there is a gap in knowledge regarding the analysis of waqif giving behaviour and the information that waqif expected. This study is believed to be novel based on the framework developed. Practically, the findings of this research can give the signal to the institution of waqf that they need to disclose their information with the purpose of increase cash waqf collection. Nevertheless, there are many more factors that may influence donating behaviour based on past studies, but this study was limited to testing the influence of information disclosure. Since this study is an objective quantitative approach, it is very interesting if a follow-up study can be done in the form of exploring qualitative research to get a more in-depth answer to the results of this study.

ABSTRAK

Kesinambungan dana wakaf akan membantu menyelesaikan masalah aset wakaf yang belum dikembangkan dan meningkatkan sosioekonomi Ummah. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengkaji hubungan antara pendedahan maklumat dan tingkah laku pemberian dalam kalangan Waqif. Penyelidikan kajian mendapati bahawa latar belakang asas, pendedahan maklumat bukan kewangan dan masa depan memang mendorong tingkah laku Waqif memberi wakaf tunai. Nilai keaslian kajian ini adalah terdapat jurang pengetahuan tentang analisis tingkah laku pemberian waqif dan maklumat yang diharapkan oleh waqif. Kajian ini dipercayai baharu berdasarkan kerangka yang dikembangkan. Secara praktikal, penemuan penyelidikan ini dapat memberi isyarat kepada institusi wakaf bahawa mereka perlu mendedahkan maklumat mereka dengan tujuan meningkatkan pengumpulan wakaf tunai. Walaupun begitu, terdapat banyak lagi faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi tingkah laku menderma berdasarkan kajian lepas, tetapi kajian ini hanya terfokus untuk menguji pengaruh pendedahan maklumat. Oleh kerana kajian ini adalah pendekatan kuantitatif objektif, sangat menarik jika kajian lanjutan dapat dilakukan dalam bentuk penerokaan penyelidikan kualitatif untuk mendapatkan jawaban yang lebih mendalam terhadap hasil kajian ini.
