“…The outcome demonstrates a favourable correlation between owner-manager knowledge and the ambition of Malaysian halal-certified companies to adopt IFF. These findings are supported by Balushi et al (2019), Awang et al (2020) and Zaib et al (2021), who found that owner-manager knowledge is important for the adoption of IFF. However, these results differ from other studies in terms of the method and measurement used in this study.…”

Purpose ‒ The research aims to investigate the owner-manager knowledge as a moderator variable enhancing intention to adopt Islamic financing facilities (IFF). Design/Methodology/Approach ‒ The research obtained primary data by conducting a survey of 237 participants from halal-certified companies in Malaysia. The data was analyzed using partial least squares (PLS) to provide support for the hypotheses. Findings ‒ The results show that relative advantage, top management support, owner-manager knowledge, and competitive pressure have a significant positive impact on the intention to adopt IFF. Owner-manager knowledge was also found to have a negative and significant effect on the relationship between complexity, top management support, and the intention to adopt IFF. Originality/Value ‒ The research identifies a number of gaps in current literature. Firstly, it addresses the limitations of previous research on the adoption of IFF at an organizational level. Secondly, it examines the role of owner-manager knowledge as a moderating factor in the relationship between innovation, organizational and environmental (IOE) characteristics, and adoption intention, which has not been explored in any empirical studies to date. Research Limitations ‒ This study has two main limitations. Firstly, the data analysis is based on a cross-sectional design, which cannot provide empirical evidence to support causal inferences. Secondly, the majority of the respondents are from the food/beverage/food supplement industry, as revealed in the results. Practical Implications ‒ These findings can guide stakeholders in developing effective strategies to enhance the adoption of IFF by halal-certified companies in Malaysia.
