Compensation, Islamic Corporate Governance, Religiosity, Fraud TendencyAbstract
Background: Fraud exposure can erode the legitimacy and operational resilience of Islamic microfinance institutions.
Objective: This study assesses whether compensation and Islamic Corporate Governance (ICG) are related to employees’ fraud tendency and whether religiosity changes these relationships.
Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey of 78 employees from BMTs affiliated with PBMTI MPD Semarang City was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling in SmartPLS 3.0.
Results: Higher compensation and stronger ICG were associated with lower fraud tendency. Religiosity significantly interacted with compensation, but its interaction with ICG was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Fraud-risk management in BMTs should combine fair and transparent remuneration with sharia-oriented governance; individual religiosity may reinforce the compensation-related association.
