Crucial Dimension in Organization Management of Indonesian Islamic Almsgiving (Zakah) Institutions: Insights for Community Economic Empowerment

<div>This research analyzed the crucial management dimensions or key elements of</div><div>organizations that have been managed as Islamic almsgiving institutions (zakah</div><div>funds) in Indonesia. Zakah funds are traditionally managed for a limited number of</div><div>beneficiaries. Zakah funds are now collected and managed by professional Islamic</div><div>or faith-based organizations and institutions at the national or regional level to</div><div>achieve a wider range of beneficiaries. This article examines how two Islamic</div><div>or faith-based organizations, herein named CV (commanditaire vennootschap)</div><div>&ldquo;X&rdquo; and &ldquo;Y&rdquo; Foundation, manage small enterprise programs based on zakah to</div><div>reach a wider range of beneficiaries. Using qualitative methods, the research</div><div>identifies crucial dimensions in the management of organizational dynamics of</div><div>these Islamic or faith-based organizations, i.e., organizational systems, human</div><div>resources, and organizational climate. Those elements are used to manage</div><div>economic empowerment activities with faith as a supra structure or contextual</div><div>underlying factor. Field findings also demonstrated the usefulness of religious</div><div>values in managing sustainable community-empowerment practices in small</div><div>enterprise programs.&nbsp;</div>
