Abstract

In this research investigation, the researchers analyze (1) the influence of the cooperative management based on Sharia Law on the efficiency of the cooperatives in Satun province; and analyze (2) the influence of the Sharia governance on the efficiency of the cooperatives under study.


A questionnaire was used to collect data from the sample population of 428 members of Islamic cooperatives. Data were statistically analyzed using mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentage. The techniques of Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis were also employed.


Findings showed that the cooperative management based on the Sharia principles consisted of the following principles. At the highest level was justice (Beta = .266, t = 7.568). Next in descending order were transparency and accountability (Beta = .265, t = 7.776); free from speculation (Beta = .087, t = 6.675); interest free (Beta = .178, t = 4.845); and uncertainty free (Beta = .087, t = 2.216). These principles exhibited an influence on the cooperative efficiency at a statistically significant level. Sharia governance consists of the following. At the highest level was the Sharia-based risk management (Beta = .387, t = 9.951). Next in descending order were the Sharia-based auditing (Beta = .320, t = 8.057); and the Sharia committee (Beta = .248, t = 6.311). These principles exhibited cooperative efficiency at a statistically significant level. Therefore, cooperative boards should prioritize the Sharia-based principles of cooperative management and the Sharia governance in order to further enhance the efficiency level of cooperatives.
