But in fact, at baitul maal wa tamwil (BMT) in East Java, PLS-financingis verysmall, which is about 20% oftotalfinancing. Some BMT’s manager think that PLS-financing is lead to poor performance due to the nature of uncertainty. This study aims at analyzing the effect of PLS-financing on the business performance, social performance, and maslahah. This study uses quantitative approach with partial least square (PLS) analysis. PLS analysis is used to determine the relationships among the latent variables; PLS-financing, business performance, social performance, and maslahah for stake holder. On this study, all of the latent variables are measured by formative indicators. PLS-financing is formed by mudaraba financing and musyaraka financing. Business performance variable is formed by three indicators; return on assets, performing financing, and financing to deposit ratio. Social Performance variable is formed by three indicators; qard-qardul hasan financing; distributing of alms, infaq, sadaqah; and social funds. Maslahah variable is formed by five indicators; maslahah of owners, executives, employees, government, and society.The results indicate that the PLS-financing affects business performance negatively, business performance affects the social performance and maslahah. The social performance doesn’t affect the maslahah. By this results, it can be concluded that the allocation of PLS-financing of BMT as the implementation of Islamic law affects the maslahah indirectly, depend on the business performance and social performance.
