Beyond the stethoscope: a COVID-19 lens on the halal, business and ethical dimensions of hospitals in a Muslim majority country Gita Gayatri, Yusniza Kamarulzaman, Tengku Ezni Balqiah, Dony Abdul Chalid, Anya Safira, et al. International Journal of Ethics and Systems, 2025 Purpose This study aims to examine the perceptions and evaluations of Muslim COVID-19 survivors and health workers regarding the halal, business and ethical attributes of hospitals during their interactions related to COVID-19 treatment. Design/methodology/approach Descriptive qualitative research with semi-structured online interviews was used to gather insights from COVID-19 survivors and health workers who treated COVID-19 patients. The findings were then compared with existing literature on hospital services and Sharia attributes. Findings The study found that patients and health-care workers in hospitals are concerned about whether the hospital follows Sharia law, the quality of health-care and hospital services and the ethical conduct of hospital staff. This is especially true during the COVID-19 pandemic, when patients are more anxious about religious conduct and the afterlife. Research limitations/implications Hospitals need to address halal attributes in all aspects of their services for Muslim patients and business attributes such as standard health-care quality, service quality and ethical attributes. Participants indicated that when these needs are met, they are more likely to revisit the hospital and recommend it to others. Originality/value This study contributes to understanding the expectations of Muslim patients regarding hospital services that meet Islamic ethical and business requirements. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a case study broadens the understanding of how to better serve Muslim customers.
Mapping the digital landscape of organic food: a bibliometric and systematic review with future directions Stevia Septiani, Ratih Dyah Kusumastuti, Gita Gayatri British Food Journal, 2025 Purpose This study aims to identify the application of digital marketing in the organic food sector, identify the main lines of research and define a future research agenda. Design/methodology/approach A hybrid method combining bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review (SLR) was used. The first phase involved VOSviewer-based analysis of Scopus articles to identify thematic clusters. These clusters were then used as refined keywords in the second phase. Following the PRISMA framework, 34 relevant papers were selected for in-depth SLR. Findings The VOSviewer software shows that promising research topics include six thematic clusters. These represent the main themes in digital organic food marketing. Research in this area is growing, especially in developed and emerging markets. Studies have shown that digitalization in the organic food sector helps increase market share. However, coverage remains uneven and some themes remain underexplored. Research limitations/implications As with most literature reviews, limitations arise from criteria such as publication language, type, time span and database selection. These may have excluded potentially relevant studies. Future research may broaden scope through inclusion of additional databases and alternative methodologies. Originality/value There is a lack of integrated reviews on digital marketing within the organic food sector. This study contributes by mapping thematic developments, identifying theoretical and methodological gaps and suggesting future research pathways. The findings are especially relevant given the acceleration of online organic food purchasing during the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for sustainable market expansion strategies.
Is visual content modality a limiting factor for social capital? Examining user engagement within Instagram-based brand communities Agung Artha Kusuma, Adi Zakaria Afiff, Gita Gayatri, Sri Rahayu Hijrah Hati Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 2024 In the age of virtual cocreation of value by consumers, the role of the content modality in the development of social capital has been largely overlooked. Given that different modalities lead to varied forms of digital communication, this study examines whether a predominantly visual modality can enhance social capital and improve the collective value perceived by members of an online brand community. Through quantitative analysis, this study demonstrates that the visual modality of Instagram fosters social interactions, shaping the platform’s engagement dynamics. Affect-based visual imagery is persuasive in eliciting responses that match the hedonic nature of the platform. Therefore, fostering a positive emotional connection to both the community and the brand can lead to increased loyalty. This research proposes a different perspective on the interactive social exchange that facilitates the establishment of social capital. Value cocreation engagement is not necessarily dependent on the extensiveness of information depth. Adopting an affective orientation in persuasion has shown efficacy in forming attitudes towards attitudinal objects, particularly the community and brand.
Elevating low-effort engagement to cultivate stronger community commitment: A study of social capital within instagram’s brand community Agung Artha Kusuma, Adi Zakaria Afiff, Gita Gayatri, Sri Rahayu Hijrah Hati Intangible Capital, 2024 Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the role of social capital in enhancing the engagement of community members, specifically transitioning them from low-effort participation to higher levels of commitment toward the community.Design/methodology: This study presents the results derived from a quantitative analysis of 483 participants across diverse automotive brand communities found on Instagram.Findings: Based on the foundation of social capital theory, this research enquires into the effects of shared relational elements of social capital on the commitment of members to communities. The results indicate that when members perceive an adequate degree of social trust and adhere to a recognized norm of reciprocity, there is a notable influence on the potential for heightened commitment to the community.Research limitations/implications: This study solely focused on a specific type of social media, underscoring the prominent role of visual presentation style as the primary approach in content creation. As a result, this has a notable impact on the mechanism of social interaction among users.Originality/value: In visually oriented settings such as Instagram, the barriers to participating in social interactions are noticeably reduced. Consequently, activities that require only minimal engagement effort have a higher probability of evolving into more profound and intensified forms of social exchange among community members. This, in turn, greatly facilitates the cultivation of social trust and the establishment of a norm of reciprocity.
