Abstract

The present study examines the factors affecting customer intention to use auto financing (ijarah) in Pakistan. The research framework is constructed based on the theory of reasoned action, which explains behavioural intention and its determinants. The study incorporates the participation of 350 potential customers of auto ijarah in Pakistan. Data analysis was conducted with structural equation modelling (SEM), assessing the measurement, and structural model. The outcome indicates that attitude, perceived cost benefits, Sharia compliance, religious orientation, and subjective norm are the significant predictors of customer intentions. We also found a statistically insignificant association between awareness and customer intentions. The results hold significance for the Islamic banking and financial service providers. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the factors that contribute to the adoption of auto ijarah among potential Islamic bank customers.
