Abstract

This research aims to examine the performance and dedication of Amil Zakat in the context of social fund management in Indonesia, using the IKIGAI concept as an analytical framework. Yayasan Dana Sosial Al-Falah (YDSF), one of Indonesia's oldest and most trusted Amil Zakat Institutions (LAZ), is the focus of this case study. This research uses a qualitative approach, with an interview method to explore the motivation, work spirit, and performance of Amil Zakat in YDSF within the framework of IKIGAI. The results showed that Amil Zakat in YDSF has a strong motivation based on spiritual values and professionalism, which are based on the principles of IKIGAI. The Amil not only considers their work as a profession that brings blessings (profession) but also as a mission that has a positive impact on society (mission) while providing personal satisfaction (passion). The balance between these elements is proven to contribute to strengthening the intrinsic motivation and dedication of Amil in carrying out their work. Therefore, the implementation of IKIGAI can be considered as a strategic approach in human resource development in Amil Zakat Institutions, to ensure more transparent, accountable, and impactful zakat management.
