Reputational Risk Management Strategies Due to Social Media in Islamic Financial Institutions in Indonesia
Abstract
The proliferation of social media has presented significant challenges for Islamic financial institutions in Indonesia, particularly in terms of reputational risk management. This article aims to explore various strategies that can be implemented to address reputational threats that arise through digital platforms. The main focus of this research is on the integration of sharia values, rapid response, and cross-divisional collaboration. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach, the research involved a literature review and case analysis on Bank Syariah Indonesia and Bank Victoria Syariah. The results revealed that technological disruption, violation of sharia principles, and slow response were the main factors that triggered the reputation crisis. The effectiveness of reputation risk management strategies relies heavily on the speed of response, credibility of messages, and consistency in the application of sharia values. In addition, the application of digital monitoring technology and increasing digital literacy are key factors in risk mitigation. This article concludes that a holistic approach-encompassing technical, ethical, social, and digital aspects-as well as an adaptive and value-based organizational culture, is a sustainable solution to maintaining the reputation of Islamic financial institutions in the digital era.
