abstract

While research on work values has generated considerable scholarly attention, research on religiously oriented values, particularly on Islamic work values, has remained relatively limited in the extant literature. This paper attempts to address this lacuna by empirically measuring and validating the constructs of Islamic work value. The study adopted sequential exploratory mixed methods in which a quantitative research method was employed subsequent to qualitative methods in order to validate the psychometric properties of the Islamic work values' instrument. This study qualitatively validates 25 constructs of the 56 Islamic work values initially identified; of these, 13 constructs were quantitatively validated. Thus, this novel research contributes by establishing 13 Islamic work values in the literature, as well as developing an appropriate methodology for measuring and validating such Islamic work values. Finally, this paper identifies the limits of this study and suggests the potential areas of further research.

6. Conclusion and implications

The present study demonstrates the process leading to validating the constructs of Islamic work values. The findings showed that 13 IWV constructs are verified and their measurement is validated. Overall, the present study was performed in two stages: qualitative and quantitative. The study started with a review of the extant literature with regard to the constructs mentioned as Islamic values. The main sources rooted in the Qur'an and the Hadith were used as evidence indicating that the values were endorsed by Islam. This was done to establish a foundation to the theory that the existing Islamic values are found in the Qur'an and the Prophet's tradition and the researchers and scholars have reached a general consensus on these values as reflected in the literature. To sum up, in order to claim that the scale used to measure the Islamic work value constructs is reliable and valid, the measurement items must satisfy goodness-of-fit, reliability tests and validity measures.
