| description | Although the phenomenon of spirituality in the workplace has received
enormous attention from other religious faiths, the construct of Islamic
spirituality has not been much explored. This empirical study attempts to
enrich the understanding of the spirituality in the workplace phenomenon from
Islamic management perspective. The survey data used for this empirical
research was drawn from 405 Muslim employees in business organizations in
Malaysia. After yielding an instrument to measure Islamic spirituality,
exploratory (using SPSS version 18.0) and confirmatory (using AMOS version
18.0) factor analyses were conducted. The construct validity of Islamic
spirituality led to the major finding of the research, thus, Islamic spirituality in
the business organizational context is explained by four determinants; Rituals
(Ibadat), Forgivingness/Repentance (Al a’fw), Belief (Iman) and Remembrance
of Allah (Dhikrullah).
