This research is structured to be the basis for making policies to increase the growth of assets of Islamic banks. The research design used is quantitative with the help of smart PLS ver.3.3. The number of samples is 94 people from a population of 123 employees of Islamic Banks Serang and Cilegon Branch Offices with supervisory positions and above. The sample selection in this study uses probability sampling, so that all branch offices of Islamic banks in Cilegon and Serang as well as all supervisory work units have the same opportunity to be selected as samples. The results indicate that the ones that have the biggest influence in increasing the growth of Islamic bank assets are the financing to deposit ratio and non-performing financing. This can be seen from the path coefficient value resulting from this study between financing to deposit ratio on asset growth has a coefficient value of 2.818 and non-performing financing on asset growth has a coefficient value of 3.767.

The measurement of Islamic banking performance should differ from the indicators used in their conventional counterparts. Therefore, this study analyzes the performance of Islamic baking in Indonesia using the Islamic Performance Ratio (IPR) variable. Spesifcillay, this study aims to examine the influence of Asset Growth and Non-Performing Financing (NPF) on the IPR using Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) as moderator. Data for this study were gathered from seven Islamic Commercial Banks from 2012 to 2018 with 49 observations. They were analyzed using the quantitative approach by employing SPSS software. The findings show that the quality of financing has a negative but significant effect on the IPR. Meanwhile, asset growth does not have a significant direct effect on the IPR. When FDR was inserted as moderator, it showed a significant effect of asset growth on IPR. The theoretical implication of this research shows that Islamic banks' performance is shown from the growth of assets but must be supported by other variables such as the quality of financing (NPF) and must also be accompanied by good financing disbursement capability (FDR). In addition, the managerial implication of this research is that the measurement of indicators for Islamic banks should be equipped with performance indicators under the operational principles of Islamic banks, such as the Islamic Performance Ratio (IPR).======================================================================================================== ABSTRAK – Determinan yang Mempengaruhi Islamic Performance Ratio Perbankan Syariah di Indonesia: Suatu Analisis Menggunakan Financing to Deposit Ratio sebagai Moderator. Pengukuran kinerja perbankan syariah seharusnya menggunakan parameter yang berbeda dari perbankan konvensional. Oleh karena itu, article bertujuan untuk menganalisis kinerja perbankan syariah di Indonesia menggunakan variabel Islamic Performance Ratio (IPR). Secara khusus, artikel ini bermaksud untuk menguji pengaruh variabel pertumbuhan aset dan pembiayaan bermasalah (NPF) terhadap IPR dengan menggunakan Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) sebagai variabel moderator. Data-data untuk kajian dikumpulkan dari tujuh bank umum syariah dari 2012 sampai 2018 dengan 49 observasi yang kemudian dianalisis secara kuantitatif dengan software SPSS. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas pembiayaan memiliki pengaruh negatif tapi signifikan terhadap IPR. Sedangkan pertumbuhan aset tidak berpengaruh signifikan secara langsung terhadap IPR. Ketika FDR dimasukkan sebagai moderasi, pertumbuhan berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap IPR. Implikasi teoritikal dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kinerja bank syariah tidak hanya ditunjukkan dari pertumbuhan aset saja, akan tetapi harus didukung dengan variabel lainnya seperti kualitas pembiayaan (NPF) dan juga harus disertai dengan kemampuan penyaluran pembiayaan yang baik (FDR). Selain itu, implikasi manajerial dari penelitian ini adalah pengukuran indikator dari bank syariah sebaknya dilengkapi dengan indikator kinerja yang sesuai dengan prinsip operasional dari bank syariah seperti Islamic Performance Ratio (IPR).

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to determine the explanatory factors for the selection of Islamic banks and evaluate the moderating role of demographic characteristics. This study seeks to better understand these determinants in Tunisia, a country with a developing Islamic finance system and a culture different from those in other Muslim countries studied in the literature. Design/methodology/approach – The authors developed a two-sided approach: a quantitative survey and 12 semi-structured interviews based on four customer segments identified by the quantitative study. For the survey, data were collected from 180 Islamic bank clients in Tunisia. The factors adopted for the selection of an Islamic bank are service quality, trust, and compliance with Sharia (Islamic) law. The authors identified and measured the selection criteria using a factor analysis, regression analysis, and demographic characteristics analysis. Findings – Customers consider several factors while choosing an Islamic bank: the quality of service offered by the financial institutions, trust, and (especially) compliance with Sharia law. Moreover, gender and age appear to be the only moderators between the selection of an Islamic bank and these determinants. Practical implications – This study offers Islamic banks a better understanding of how Tunisian customers select financial institutions. These banks must consider the different determinants of choice in order to create value for consumers and prepare their marketing strategies. The authors identify four customer segments based on gender and age by which the banks may improve their positioning and market share, thus contributing to the development of Islamic financial institutions in Tunisia. Originality/value – This is the first study of its kind in Tunisia, where the market share of Islamic finance remains low. The study enriches the Islamic marketing literature on the quality of Islamic financial institutions’ service, trust, and compliance with Sharia law. It also tests demographic characteristics as moderators. The results and implications of this research can be applied to countries similar to Tunisia.

Purpose – This purpose of this paper is to investigate the status of Islamic banking in Lebanon, through addressing the perceptions of existing and potential clients. The study has two objectives: one is to identify and measure the factors that clients perceive as important in deciding to patronize an Islamic bank, and the other is to draw a client profile for Islamic banks operating in Lebanon. Design/methodology/approach – The literature review provided the theoretical framework this study builds on. A survey instrument was developed and the data were analyzed using SPSS (19.0). To draw the client profile, the researcher conducted cluster analysis followed by discriminant analysis. To identify and measure the Islamic bank selection criteria, the researcher used factor analysis followed by regression analysis. Findings – Findings show that clients consider five variables in deciding whether or not to patronize Islamic banks. These variables are trust in Islamic banks and their true compliance with Sharia, customers’ familiarity with Islamic modes of finance, cost of financing and other transactions, accessibility of Islamic banks, and the quality of service offered by those banks. The study was also able to delineate the significant attributes of IB clients, raising the issue of changing the target market segment. Research limitations/implications – This study employed a usable sample size of 199 questionnaires collected from one MENA region nation, Lebanon. It may be useful to probe the research questions of this study using a larger sample size collected from several MENA region nations, in order to reach a more validated conclusion. In addition, it may be equally useful to assess other demographic and psychographic variables as distinguishing factors among client clusters, for the purpose of reaching a deeper understanding of Islamic bank clientele in this region. Practical implications – It is suggested that Islamic banks consider the five factors identified in this study, while preparing their marketing strategy, for the purpose of increasing their market share in the non-GCC MENA region. It is also suggested that Islamic banks approach the so far neglected market segments, rather than sticking to their traditional clients. Originality/value – This paper is the first to investigate the status of Islamic banks in Lebanon. The findings of this study will help refocus the marketing strategies of Islamic banks in Lebanon. They may also apply to other developing non-GCC countries in the MENA region.
