Abstract


Promotional strategies have a significant impact on decisions to pay zakat at a zakat institution in the era of digital advancement. This study intends to investigate the determinants of zakat payment at the National Zakat Agency (Badan Amil Zakat Nasional - BAZNAS) of South Sumatra Province, Indonesia, using influencer endorsement and electronic word of mouth as independent variables. A total of 250 people, which were selected using the purposive sampling method, participated in this study. The data was processed and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that electronic word of mouth strengthens the beneficial relationship between influencer endorsement and the decision to pay zakat at the BAZNAS. The impact of influencer endorsement on zakat payment decisions was shown to be substantially stronger when electronic word of mouth was included as a moderator variable. The finding suggests that the BAZNAS of South Sumatra must play an optimal role in utilizing public figures to promote the BAZNAS' features, as well as increasing information about BAZNAS on social media, so that muzzaki are interested in paying zakat through BAZNAS.
