| Summary: | Incorporating two interrelated perspectives involving quality management practices of
public service organization, this research aims to develop and test a framework of Islamic
quality management in relation to current quality management practices that lead to quality
performances. This research employs a new framework to identify the dimensions of
Islamic quality management and dimensions of quality performances and to explicate the
relationships between quality management practices. Applying Islamic administration
(al-siyasah al-syar'iyyh), and the objectives of shariah (maqasid shariah) principles and
Islamic workplace spirituality theory, this research attempts to discover these relationships
to strengthen the practice of quality management in the public service. The study to
examine these relationships provides a basis for delineating the process by which Islamic
quality management potentially enhances quality performance in an organization. As far as
this research is concerned, none has related Islamic quality management with current
quality management practices. Further, little is known about the dimensions or factors in
the Islamic quality management and quality performance within the public service context.
In addition, this research incorporates Islamic quality management as a mediator variable,
which possibly enhances the current practice to improve the quality performance. A
purposive sampling method is applied to collect data from 356 public servants in the public
service in Sarawak. A Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling method is
applied to examine direct and mediating effect hypotheses. The result of this research
support hypothesized relationships between Islamic quality management, quality
management practices and quality performance. Islamic quality management is also found
to mediate the relationship between quality management practices and quality
performance. Findings showed that Islamic quality management is associated with quality
VI
management practices and quality performance. This research makes several theoretical,
managerial and methodological contributions and provides further insights on the
relationships of Islamic quality management. Theoretical contribution of this research
provides better understanding by further explain the dimensions of Islamic quality
management and quality performance and integrate all principles and theory of Islamic
administration (al-siyasah al-syariyyah), objective of shariah (maqasid shariah) and
Islamic workplace spirituality into one research model. In addition, this research provides
managerial implications by focusing on managerial aspects that provide significant impacts
to organizational environment to the success of an organization such as spiritual aspect of
governance, employees' spiritual energy and servant-leadership style. Finally, the
methodological implications which adopted the quantitative method to test the variables
and a scale development method to develop a measurement scale. This research also has
several limitations such as only focusing the public service sector and also some variables
are not validated previously from other researches. Several potential avenues for future
research are also identified and proposed. |
