EXAMINING FACTORS INFLUENCING HALAL COVID-19 VACCINATION INTENTION AMONG THE MUSLIM COMMUNITIES

Abstract

Covid-19 outbreak, which is considered to be still not optimal enough, the Indonesian government seems to be risking its efforts on a mandatory vaccination policy. However, this intervention will not succeed without the participation of the community in the form of their interest in receiving the Covid-19 vaccination. Therefore, by involving 422 Muslim respondents who live in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, the main objective of this study is to focus on the factors that influence or predict halal Covid-19 vaccination intention. Thus, it is clear that this research is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional survey. The results of the descriptive analysis of this study then explained that the majority of respondents were Muslim people who were male as much as 217 (51.42%), aged 19 - 24 years (38.39%), domiciled in the city of Yogyakarta (38.63%) and worked as students as many as 188 people (44.55%). While the results of quantitative analysis using the Partial-least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method in this study revealed that halal Covid-19 vaccination intention was influenced by factors such as attitude toward halal vaccination (β = 0.541, t-value = 10.199, -value = 0.000), subjective norm (β = 0.196, t-value = 3.913, -value = 0.000), and social norm (β = 0.156, t-value = 3.374, -value = 0.001) positively and significant. In addition, the theoretical and practical implications based on the results of the research are also discussed in this study.Wabah Covid-19 yang dinilai masih belum maksimal, pemerintah Indonesia tampaknya mempertaruhkan upayanya dengan kebijakan vaksinasi wajib. Namun intervensi ini tidak akan berhasil tanpa partisipasi masyarakat berupa minat mereka untuk menerima vaksinasi Covid-19.

Dengan demikian, jelaslah bahwa penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kuantitatif dengan rancangan cross sectional survey. Hasil analisis deskriptif penelitian ini kemudian menjelaskan bahwa mayoritas responden adalah pemeluk agama Islam berjenis kelamin laki-laki sebanyak 217 (51,42%), berusia 19 – 24 tahun (38,39%), berdomisili di kota Yogyakarta (38,63%). ) dan bekerja sebagai mahasiswa sebanyak 188 orang (44,55%). Sedangkan hasil analisis kuantitatif dengan metode Partial-least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) pada penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa niat vaksinasi Covid-19 halal dipengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor seperti sikap terhadap vaksinasi halal (β = 0,541, t-value = 10,199, -nilai = 0,000), norma subjektif (β = 0,196, nilai t = 3,913, -nilai = 0,000), dan norma sosial (β = 0,156, nilai t = 3,374, -nilai = 0,001) secara positif dan signifikan . Selain itu, implikasi teoritis dan praktis berdasarkan hasil penelitian juga dibahas dalam penelitian ini.
