They are therefore vulnerable towards different risks from various sources, which could affect their ability to sustain in the market. Moving forward with vast advancement of technology, many Islamic microfinance service providers have initiated the integration of various innovations to improve risk management. Hence, the current study attempts to seek for qualitative evidences that would explain why and how applications and acceptance of banking technology are changing risk management process for disbursement and repayment system of Islamic microfinance service providers. Comparative case study research method is used to explore risk management processes and implementation of technology for disbursement and repayment system in two types of Islamic microfinance service provider. Qualitative data are collected from observation in client meeting, interview with selected clients and staffs, also documentation obtained from two selected case institutions. Data is then analysed using NVivo 11 to make coding easier and more simplified, as well as to facilitate the process of thematic analysis and pattern matching. From data analysis and findings, it was found that both case institutions of current study appear to be vulnerable towards financial risk, operational risk and strategic risk. Although they were found to have similar risk management process, diffusion of banking technology appears to show different effects in improving risk management. Most informants of the current study agreed that mobile banking is already an effective mechanism for disbursement and repayment in Islamic microfinance service providers. However, they believe that an enhancement towards security features of the channel would be highly beneficial. In addition to that, collaboration or knowledge exchange between Provider A and Provider B was found to be feasible to improve disbursement and repayment system of both institutions. Additionally, the current study had proposed a conceptual framework which enhanced the relationship found between Social Construction of Technology theory, Diffusion of Innovation theory, and also risk management process with the introduction of three constructs of awareness, attitude and trust. The proposed conceptual framework reflects findings from the qualitative nature of current study. This framework reflects how the three human-related factors influence how banking technology would improve risk management of disbursement and repayment system in Islamic microfinance service providers. Future researches could test the proposed conceptual framework from a positivist perspective using quantitative measurements and longitudinal data; investigate banking technology which would best benefit both providers and clients with respect of disbursement and repayment system; also investigate risk management process of disbursement and repayment system from a technological perspective. 2018 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/85708/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/85708/1/85708.pdf text en public phd doctoral Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Accountancy Mohamed, Intan Salwani
