Determinant of Zakat Payment Behavior in Indonesia: Socio-Economic and Social-Influence Approach

Abstract

Indonesia, as a Muslim country with the obligation to pay zakat, still has obstacles that are less than optimal in the collection of zakat. Socio-economic and environmental conditions cause suboptimal zakat collection. This study aims to analyze socio-economic and socio-influencers who are influential in determining zakat payments in Indonesia. The data used is from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2007 and 2014. The method used is Ordinary Least Square (OLS), which uses a robust model with no intercept. The results of the study show that socio-economic and socio-influencers have a positive effect on increasing zakat payments in Indonesia
