Intention to Contribute in Corporate Waqf: Applying the Theory of Planned Behaviour

Abstract

Corporate waqf has contributed a great change into the waqf system as a whole and been generally accepted as a way of waqf practice. However, the literature that discusses about the factors influencing people to contribute or involve in this practice is very limited. Prior to action, intention is taken place. Therefore, this study aims to examine the factors influencing people’s intention to contribute in corporate waqf, particularly to the employees of Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAIWP), based on the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). A set of a questionnaire was constructed in order to measure the validity of the theory towards people’s intention in contributing for corporate waqf. The result of this study found that attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control were significantly related to intention to contribute in corporate waqf among people.Keywords: Corporate Waqf, Intention to Contribute in Corporate Waqf, Theory of Planned Behaviour

“…Furthermore, Ramayah, Rouibah, Gopi, & Rangel (2009) also asserted that attitude toward a behavior is the main contributing factor of behavioral intention. In the context of waqf giving behavior, Hasbullah (2016) and Shukor (2017) confirmed that attitude significantly influences intention to give waqf. Despite several researchers who believe attitude is a predictor of intention to give waqf, there are some scholars in the waqf field who are of the view that attitude may not be a sufficient factor that can influence the decision of an individual to give waqf.…”

“…Thus, in the subsequent paragraphs, each of these identified constructs is discussed and hypotheses are also developed on each construct as they relate to waqf giving intention towards education sector. In the context of waqf, the TPB has been used by many waqf researchers (Osman, Mohammed, & Amin, 2014;Hasbullah, Khairi, & Aziz, 2016;Shukor, Anwar, Aziz, & Sabri, 2017;Zabri & Mohammed, 2018) and found that the TPB can explain waqf giving intention behavior. They concluded that TPB constructs could predict the intention of waqf giving behavior toward education sector.…”

“…Qardawi (2009) asserted that in Islam any worship without intention will not be rewarded. In the field of waqf, several studies have been conducted on an intention to giving behavior (Osman, Mohammed, & Amin, 2014;Hasbullah, Khairi, & Aziz, 2016;Shukor, Anwar, Aziz, & Sabri, 2017;Thaker, Thaker, & Pitchay, 2018).…”
