The Role of Islamic Intellectual Capital on Isalamic Cooperative Performance in Indonesia

As one of the countries with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia is trying to overcome poverty by moving the community's economy through various economic institutions, one of which is sharia cooperatives. However, unfortunately, although most of the Indonesian population is Muslim, sharia cooperatives or Sharia cooperatives are less attractive to the public and have low performance compared to conventional cooperatives. Various previous studies have stated that the main problem in managing sharia cooperatives in Indonesia is the lack of intellectual capital and application of business and work ethics according to Islamic rules, known as the Islamic work ethic. This study aims to determine the effect of Islamic human capital on the performance of sharia cooperatives in Jombang Regency by mediating Islamic Social capital. This study uses a quantitative approach. The population in this study was sharia cooperatives with a sample of 60 cooperative units. Primary data were obtained from questionnaires, and secondary data were obtained from various documents about sharia cooperatives in Jombang district. The analytical tools used are multiple regression and path analysis. The results showed a direct influence of Islamic human and social capital on the performance of sharia cooperatives. Islamic human capital has also been shown to influence the implementation of Islamic social capital. Therefore, Islamic social capital can also mediate the role of Islamic human capital in the performance of sharia cooperatives.
