A Quantitative Study

Abstract

The aim of this research is to determine the influence of religiosity, level of literacy, income, and accessibility to the consciousness of paying profession zakâh. This research uses quantitative methods and applies multiple regression analysis. We use purposive random sampling with 124 samples which represent Moslems from 14 districts in Indonesia. Based on multiple regression analysis, it can be seen that religiosity, literacy, income, and accessibility have significant effects to the consciousness of paying profession zakâh. Therefore, this study encourages zakah institutions to improve its accessibility including location and payment to increase the consciousness of paying zakâh on profession.
