Through analysing Chinese life insurance agents’ emotional conflicts and coping strategies, this study tries to reveal organization and work’s impact on the agents. Because organizational and working rules are often inconsistent with social norms and personal feelings, life insurance agents easily experience negative emotions and conflicts. Various strategies that make efforts to solve this kind of conflict may trigger off some new emotional problems, and they probably make agents’ emotional conflicts worse as well. In a way, emotional alienation has become a necessity for service workers in the post-industrial society, and that means individuals’ emotions and regulations are subject to the demand of organization and work, but deviate from themselves and social rules.

In recent years, banks in Serbia, as authorized insurance agents, have started offering various types of insurance contracts that serve as a means of securing credit. Since the potential credit user is a consumer who does not have sufficient legal knowledge of insurance contracts, this paper aims to point out the main characteristics of these insurances and to highlight the differences between them. Despite all the information that insurance agents are required to disclose to their clients, there are always certain dilemmas regarding these insurance policies, particularly with respect to the issues of insurance coverage, insurance voluntariness and its cost-effectiveness. During the last two years, several judgments have been made regarding credit insurance and the powers of banks in connection with this contract, so it was necessary to consider what consequences this could have on the way of concluding the contract and calculating premiums for some other insurances intended for securing loans, although differently conceived.

Previous research tends to discuss the management of waqf assets obtained from testament waqf, but this study focuses on the management of the instrument of testament waqf that is attached to life insurance by PT.AXA Financial Indonesia. This study aims to determine the waqf management strategy through the instrument of the testament of the sharia insurance policy.  The type of this research is field research, the source of the data is the AXA agency, and customers by conducting in-depth interviews. The results show that: 1) Waqf management is used to build assets such as mosques, prayer rooms, Islamic boarding schools, and madrasas, 2) The opportunity is that waqf management can be integrated online, and also collaborate with various waqf distribution agencies in Indonesia. The obstacles that occur are the lack of public understanding of the testament of the sharia insurance policy, and 3) The development strategy is integrated socialization to the public through various means and media. It is concluded that the waqf instrument is an alternative to carrying out worship after death, even though the public is not too familiar with the use of this instrument, it is an obligation for all insurance agents at PT. AXA to socialize this Instrument so that it can be an attraction for insurance.
