Exploring the item for measuring Islamic legacy planner construct: an exploratory factor analysis

One of the most important factors that affect the Wasiyyah decision is the role of the Islamic legacy planner (ILP) in any given institution. Accordingly, an ILP in any institution is closely matching the heart role in a human body. The aim of this research is to perform instrument validation through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The questionnaire used in this study is adapted from Al Ma’amun (2010) and Shahizan (2019). It consists of nine items; after the questionnaires were distributed, 120 responses were collected to do the EFA. The results show that all of the nine items have one component. The factor loading for every item in each construct was >0.6 (Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity was <0.05). Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of Sampling Adequacy was higher than 0.6 for this construct, and this means that the sample size is adequate. Cronbach’s alpha test was higher than 0.7 for the entire construct’s items, which means that these items are all reliable. This study found a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the role of ILP components in the decision-making process.
