“…These institutions distort public spending resulting in a nonoptimal allocation of public spending (Cooray and Schneider, 2013). For example, corruption inflates the size of government spending (Haque and Kneller, 2015; Fazekas and Tóth, 2018; Ramli et al , 2021). Hence, a positive relationship is expected between the provision of social services and institutional quality.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of information and communications technology (ICT) on the provision of social services, as well as the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services for 31 low-income countries. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on panel data from World Development Indicators and Worldwide Governance Indicators spanning 1996 to 2020 for 31 low-income countries. To analyze the data, the study uses cross-sectional dependence tests, slope heterogeneity tests, panel unit root tests, panel cointegration tests and cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) analysis. Findings The results overwhelmingly show that ICT has a significant positive effect on the provision of social services in both the short- and long-run. Also, the study reveals that institutional quality has a significant positive impact on the provision of social services in the short- and long-run. The results further provide empirical evidence of the positive and significant moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services. Practical implications This study points out the significant potential of identifying appropriate scales of ICT infrastructure and institutional quality needed to support the various governments in low-income countries to improve social services delivery mechanisms and outreach efficacy and impact. The study can be invaluable for ICT innovators and policymakers in promoting the provision of social services. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to determine the effect of ICT on the provision of social services, as well as the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services, especially for low-income countries using CS-ARDL.

“…The principles explore the fundamental questions of human existence, such as understanding oneself, the purpose of life, and how to relate to others. It encompasses a ternary model that includes the body, soul, and mind, emphasizing the importance of consciousness, values, ethical behaviour, and the ability to distinguish right from wrong (Salleh & Ahmad, 2008;Salleh & Ahmad, 2012;Muhamad, Salleh, Kassim & Suppiah, 2019, Ramli et al, 2021.…”

“…Hence, human governance is a crucial mechanism for maintaining ethical behaviour in one's profession, acting as an internal moral compass that nurtures integrity and internal character formation (Salleh & Ahmad, 2010;Salleh & Ahmad, 2012;Muhamad et al, 2019). It focuses on principles and values that become an internal mechanism for human behaviour, preventing corruption and enhancing corporate governance (Salleh & Ahmad, 2008;Salleh & Ahmad, 2010;Abdullah et al, 2020;Ramli et al, 2021).…”

This paper attempts to examine the impact of human governance on the complex relationship between Dark Triad traits (narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy) and deviant workplace behaviours. It integrates the theoretical concepts of Trait Theory, Al-Ghazali's theory of the soul, and Guman’s Governance Philosophy to analyse personality traits, spiritual influences, and ethical principles in deviant behaviours. This study aims to give scholarly insights into the comprehension and application of these significant issues by looking at theoretical and empirical aspects. It focuses on values, ethics, and internal guidance in fostering ethical behaviours and deterring deviant conduct. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay between human governance, Dark Triad traits, and deviant workplace behavior. However, it acknowledges limitations in generalizing findings across different organizational contexts. Further empirical research is needed to validate the effectiveness of human governance principles in mitigating deviant behaviours. The findings offer practical implications for organizational management in promoting human governance principles to cultivate a culture of integrity, transparency, and accountability, reducing the likelihood of Dark Triad traits and deterring the deviant behaviours among employees. The study contributes to existing literature by exploring the role of human governance in addressing these issues.

“…Many Zakat management institutions are poor in reporting and the accounting system affects public trust and perception. Besides that, the government's role in overcoming obstacles to Zakat management is poor (Ramli,., et al, 2022). Therefore, this study built SSGC as a new concept derived from three major theories, namely the role of government theory , trust, and spiritual leadership and strengthened by the social identity concept through a synthesis process.…”

This study offers a new concept of Spiritual Servant Government Commitment synthesizing from government role, trust, and spiritual theory combined with the social identity concept for addressing the issues that arose and covered the research gap. This study involved 400 respondents throughout Indonesia including Muslim academicians, BAZNAS (Government Zakat Agency), and Islamic scholars. The research identified five variables influencing Zakat performance: SSGC, ICT capability and GCG elements including transparency, accountability, and credibility. Effective management decisions in implementing and promoting SSGC is crucial for strengthening Zakat performance and, ultimately, enhancing the welfare of society. The finding revealed that GCG elements did not directly affect Zakat performance but was be mediated by SSGC. Transparency, accountability, and credibility significantly affected SSGC, and subsequently SSGC affected Zakat Performance. SSGC strengthened Zakat performance through proactive involvement of government based on religious commitment values in providing regulations and infrastructures, ultimately increasing the welfare of society, highlighting the significance of management decisions in fostering spiritual values within the governance framework. This study introduced SSGC as a new concept in the role of leadership in government theory, by incorporating prophetic servant leadership in Zakat management. This research fulfills theoretical gaps and offers new perspectives on spiritual-religious values, addressing the relationship between variables and contributing to the development of a new concept which strengthened the theories involved.
