It is widely held that an adequate theory of political obligation must be general; that is, it must establish requirements to obey the law for all or virtually all members of a given population. In regard to the principle of fairness (or fair play), generality poses a challenge, because many people claim not to want or to accept major benefits provided by the state. However, because the most important state benefits are public goods and so received even if they are not accepted, the implications of not accepting these benefits differ from those of not accepting excludable goods. Because of complex psychological aspects of rejecting non-excludable goods, rejecting such benefits frees recipients of obligations they would otherwise have only if they can pass an 'alternative test', and so explain how they would manage if rejection of the benefits actually prevented their receipt.

The evolution of financial technology into digital payment has led to a new era of cashless society. In line with the global trend, the Malaysian Government has been committed to strengthen the agenda of a cashless society by actively promoting the use of e-Wallet through the establishment of the Interoperable Credit Transfer Framework (ICTF) policy in 2018. Although e-Wallet has been implemented since 2016, several previous studies have found that the level of acceptance is still relatively low while the main factors that influence the acceptance of e-Wallet in Malaysia still remain unclear. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the acceptance of e-Wallet towards establishing cashless society in Malaysia. Online survey using closed-ended questionnaires have been conducted among 400 respondents from students and employees of Malaysian public universities in Klang Valley. Collected data have been analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics which consist of Factor Analysis, Pearson Correlation and Multiple Linear Regression in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Based on the findings, four factors are found to significantly influence e-wallet acceptance, which consist of Performance Expectancy (PE), Social Influence (SI), Facilitating Conditions (FC) and Trust (T). Facilitating Conditions (FC) is the most influential significant factor behind the acceptance of e-wallet among Malaysians.

In the digital era, people are increasingly demanding digital financial services, including in the field of philanthropy, such as Mosque Donation. Purpose – The paper aims to investigate the Technology Acceptance Model towards the adoption of QRIS digital Payment in Mosque Donation among Muslim society in Yogyakarta. Methodology– The hypothetical model was tested quantitatively by collecting data from 225 respondents in Yogyakarta throughout surveys, and structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was carried out. Findings – This research found that 1) Perceived Ease of Use has a positive effect on the intention to use QRIS, 2) Perceived Usefulness has a positive effect on the intention to use QRIS, 3) Perceived Security has a positive effect on the intention to use QRIS digital payment. Originality/ Value/ Implication – Previous philanthropy literature only focused on Indonesian Muslims in General. However, this study observes the adoption of QRIS digital payment in philanthropy, specifically in Mosque Donation among Muslim society in Yogyakarta.

Payments are traditionally made through cash or credit card even as virtual payments are made the use of proprietary software program such as payment cards, and electronic money. Less Cash Society is a new structure that exists in society, where the physical form of money can be replaced by a new system, namely electronic money as a medium for transactions, so that money is no longer seen as a physical form like a sheet of paper or metal coins. Within the future, the less cash society application is campaigned with the aid of the government as a part of one of the following: community training, especially in Indonesia in facing various demanding situations of global competition, due to the fact minimizing using physical money is one of the strategies implemented in order that the price of the rupiah stays stable. The method used by the author in collecting data is the literature study method. By studying relevant books and literatures related to research on information systems and the use of electronic money as a transaction tool towards a cashless society. In the near future, Indonesia can truly maximize the strength of local resources and utilize what is in this country to realize a less cash society through manufacturing all needs, hardware and payment infrastructure using electronic money. Indonesia do not only act as consumers, but also grow local industries and optimally utilize human resources. So that an independent, sovereign and prosperous Indonesia can be realized.Keywords: Electronic Money, Cashless, Cashless Society, Electronic Wallet, Electronic Transactions, GNNT, RFID

AbstractThis paper presents the development and validation of the Social Acceptance Scale (SAS), an instrument designed to measure social acceptance, particularly in transformative sectors like agricultural livestock farming. Recognizing the need for a nuanced acceptance scale, various facets of acceptance across a three-level continuum were delineated, spanning from opposition to commitment, encompassing eight distinct items. The SAS's creation and validation process included the conceptual and empirical testing of four validity types: content validity, face validity, construct validity, and criterion validity. Content and face validity involved construct definition, item generation, iterative review, and pilot testing to ensure theoretical soundness. Empirical testing encompassed construct validity through statistical validation and assessments of factorial and convergent validity. Furthermore, criterion validity was explored by examining associations with related constructs, enhancing the SAS's external applicability. In conclusion, this paper introduces the SAS as a tool to measure social acceptance within transformative sectors. It underscores the necessity for a comprehensive acceptance scale, offering a detailed account of its development and validation. The discussion section acknowledges limitations and outlines potential directions for future research in this domain.

AbstractDisasters create challenges for governments as they need to design effective and legitimate policy instruments to deal with the crisis. In this paper, we analyze social acceptance of regulations and financial investments in crisis governance, taking the example of the COVID‐19 pandemic. By using data from two survey experiments in Switzerland, we show that respondents support rules that temporarily centralize decision‐making power to the national level but object to regulations that would make contact tracing efforts mandatory. The data shows also that citizens support financial investments of tax money to prevent future crises. Those who are afraid of the health consequences of the crisis are especially favorable to stricter regulations and financial investment, whereas economic worries related to the crisis specifically and political ideology in general barely explain variance in support for crisis responses. In general, this research contributes to our understanding of how survey experiments can be used to analyze social acceptance of policy instrument design.
