The Influence of Income, Employment, Education, Consumption Patterns, and Islamic Lifestyle on the Welfare of Muslim Families in Surabaya City
Abstract
Purpose – This study aims to analyze the influence of income, employment status, educational status, consumption patterns, and Islamic lifestyle on the welfare of Muslim families in Surabaya City, as an effort to understand the factors that influence the balance of economic, social, and spiritual welfare amidst the socio-economic dynamics of urban communities.
Methodology - This study employed a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling method involving 150 respondents. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire and supported by welfare data published by the Central Statistics Agency. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis with IBM SPSS version 25, including classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination).
Findings - The results of the study indicate that income, employment status, educational status, consumption patterns, and Islamic lifestyle have a positive and significant influence on the welfare of Muslim families in Surabaya, both partially and simultaneously. Among these variables, employment status and income have a strong influence on family welfare. Furthermore, these findings indicate the importance of having good consumption management and the application of Islamic values in daily life can create sustainable welfare. The uniqueness of this study lies in the integration of economic, social, and religious factors in analyzing the welfare of Muslim families, this can provide a comprehensive perspective compared to previous studies that emphasize more on the economic aspect.
Implication - These findings indicate that well-being is influenced not only by income, but also by job stability, educational quality, balanced consumption, planned management, and the application of Islamic values in daily life. Therefore, policymakers are advised to design programs that focus more on and address economic, social, and spiritual aspects in creating sustainable well-beingKeywords
