- PublicationThe impact of situational factors on ethical choice: a survey of Islamic banking practitioners in UAEShamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil; Rosly, Saiful Azhar (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020)
The purpose of this paper is to use Ferrell and Gresham (1985) contingency model to examine the impact of situational factors on decision-making behaviour related to ethical issues of Islamic banking practitioners. A total of 262 samples are collected from Islamic banking practitioners in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and data analysis is conducted using structural equation modelling (SEM) with a confirmatory approach. The empirical findings indicate that decision-making behaviour related to ethical issues of Islamic banking practitioners is significantly influenced in the process of interacting with persons who are part of the organisation, and these influences are determined by the intra-organisational distance and legitimate authority between the individuals and the focal person. Further, it is also empirically verified that decision-making behaviour related to ethical issues of Islamic banking practitioners is significantly influenced by the presence and/or absence of the opportunity factors such as corporate policies, professional codes of ethics and rewards/punishment system that prevails in the organisation.
- PublicationIncorporating al-Ghazali Ethical Theory in Islamic banking decision making using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM): case for the United Arab Emirates (UAE)Rosly, Saiful Azhar; Shamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil (2017)
The slides highlight: 1) an overview of al-Ghazali's Ethical Theory; 2) the research objectves and questions, research methodology and framework, and empirical findings of the study; 3) potential applications and policy implications.
- PublicationIslamic conception of psychological nature of man; development and validation of scale with special reference to Al-Ghazali's modelShamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil; Rosly, Saiful Azhar (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2018)
This paper aims to develop and validate a scale for Islamic conception of psychological nature of man. Al-Ghazali's model of psychological nature of man considered as the theoretical background of the study. Content validity test and factor analysis are used to refine measurement items and define and validate the scale. In total, 362 samples were collected from Islamic banking practitioners in UAE. Item statements are refined through content validation test. Three dimensions are extracted, i.e. 'Intellect,' 'Satanic element' 'Divine Knowledge,' through exploratory factor analysis and evidence of validation of scale/construct is reported through confirmatory factor analysis.
- PublicationMeasuring ethical judgement on ethical choice in an ethical system: a confirmatory study on Islamic banks in UAEShamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil; Rosly, Saiful Azhar (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021)
This paper aims to examine the influence of ethical judgement on decision-making behaviour related to ethical issues of Islamic banking practitioners in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The study adopted a confirmatory approach in which validated/established "normative ethical standards" are taken into the consideration as theoretical underpinning. In total, 262 samples are collected from Islamic banking practitioners in the UAE and data analysis is conducted using structural equation modelling. The empirical findings indicate that the decision-making behaviour related to ethical issues of Islamic banking practitioners in UAE does not adhere to any set of normative ethical standards and respondents are pragmatic in nature when it comes to the decision-making behaviour related to ethical matters.
- PublicationTowards conceptualizing ethical decision-making model in marketing: a religious-humanistic approach with special reference to ethical philosophy in IslamShamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil; Rosly, Saiful Azhar (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2019)
This paper aims to present a synthesized conceptual model for ethical decision-making in marketing that accommodates both humanistic and religious aspects. A religious-humanistic approach is adopted on synthesizing. “Ferrell and Gresham’s (1985) contingency framework for ethical decision-making in marketing” and “Al-Ghazali’s ethical philosophy” are considered to be the theoretical base for the synthesized model. Al-Ghazali’s ethical philosophy that stands for the religious dimension in this study was found appropriate for incorporating into the Ferrell and Gresham contingency framework for ethical decision-making in marketing. The approach (religious-humanistic) adopted for synthesizing the two aspects into one model was justified accordingly. A newly synthesized model is only conceptually validated. Statistical validity is required based on the variables included in the conceptual model. Future studies are recommended to attain the model fit.
- PublicationTowards development and validation of scale for ethical decision-making model in marketing: a religious-humanistic approach with special reference to ethical philosophy in IslamShamsudheen, Shinaj Valangattil; Rosly, Saiful Azhar (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2021)
This paper aims to develop and validate scale for ethical decision-making model in marketing that confirms religious-humanistic approach with special reference to ethical philosophy in Islam. Synthesized model of Ferrell and Gresham contingency framework for ethical decision-making in marketing and Al-Ghazali's ethical philosophy are considered as theoretical background of this study. Content validity test and factor analysis are used to refine measurement items and define as well as validate the scale, respectively. A total of 362 samples were collected from Islamic banking practitioners in the United Arab Emirates. Item scale of the constructs comprised in the conceptual model defined and validated by using content validity test (CVT). Underlying theoretical dimensions of the constructs were extracted through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and evidence of validation of scale/construct reported through CFA. The scope of this paper is limited to development and validation of scale. Future studies are suggested to use the newly validated scale/construct in descriptive model, and examine the hypotheses prescribed in the model. Further, explanations on theoretical background of this paper is limited as the main objective of this paper is to statistically validate the conceptual model adopted.
