Initial Analysis on Predictors of Mosque Cooperatives Performance: A Co-operator's Perspective

Performance is a crucial aspect of any organization, including mosque co-operatives. Mosque co-operatives are expected to show good financial and non-financial performance. Mosque co-operatives need to ensure sustainable financial performance to continue benefiting the socio-economic well-being of the members and community. Besides, the strong financial performance of mosque co-operatives provides additional support to mosque institutions' activism. Hence, a question arises on the determinants of mosque co-operatives' financial and non-financial performance. Therefore, this study attempts to examine the predictors of performance from the perspective of mosque co-operators through the lens of Intellectual Capital Theory. The study found that the top three predictors of performance for mosque co-operatives are board members' competencies, spirituality, managers' competencies, and stakeholders' support, indicating the essentials of human capital, relational capital, and spiritual capital. This study provides initial insights to regulators, policymakers, and co-operators in enhancing the performance of religious-based co-operatives
