Hierarchical Analysis of Managerial Role Components in Realizing the New Islamic Civilization
Keywords:
New Islamic Civilization, Islamic governance, managerial roles, hierarchical analysis, component weighting.Abstract
This study aims to identify, validate, and weight managerial role components necessary for realizing the New Islamic Civilization based on leadership-oriented strategies. A mixed-methods design was used. The qualitative phase involved semi-structured interviews analyzed through thematic analysis and validated via a Delphi procedure. The quantitative phase included administering questionnaires to managers and experts, followed by statistical analyses including reliability and validity testing, factor analysis, Friedman ranking, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process for determining component weights. All identified components were statistically significant. Mean scores exceeded the criterion value across all dimensions. Ranking results indicated that religious-oriented roles and core managerial roles held the highest importance. Components such as obedience to overarching values, justice orientation, planning ability, ethical conduct, rationality, cultural enrichment, and public-centeredness showed the strongest weights. Consistency measures confirmed acceptable coherence in hierarchical comparisons. The findings indicate that realizing the New Islamic Civilization requires strengthening value-oriented leadership, justice-driven decision-making, ethical responsibility, rational governance, and strategic managerial capabilities. The resulting model provides a structured foundation for policymaking, managerial development, and governance design aligned with long-term civilizational goals.
