personality and leadership behavior of imams
Kubang Pasu, Kedah Darul Aman. There were three leadership traits investigated in this research; leaders' personality, religiosity, and motivation to lead or MTL. Moreover, imams' educational background as well as managerial and past leadership experiences were also investigated as predictors for their leadership behaviors. A structured, Malay version-self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 30 imams in the district of Kubang Pasu, Kedah Darul Aman. In the regression analysis, the traits of imams tested explained 56.2% variance of leadership behavior. Specifically, results demonstrated leadership behavior could be potentially influenced highly by personality-extraversion and affective-identity MTL. Moreover, this research found that personality-conscientiousness also tends to influence leadership behavior. The same was also found for personality-neuroticism and social-normative MTL. However, the two predictors showed negative influence toward leadership behavior.
This study investigated the process of how and when imams' leadership traits could influence their leadership behavior. In the moderated mediation analysis, this research hypothesized, two leadership traits of imams (i.e. motivation to lead or MTL and past leadership experiences) might mediate the influence of three leadership traits (general cognitive ability, personality, and religiosity) toward the imams' managerial leadership behavior. The analysis also hypothesized that the mediation process might be moderated by the imams' high and low job autonomous situation. A structured, Malay version-self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 357 imams around Peninsular Malaysia. Results of the hierarchical regression analysis revealed that the traits of imams explained 40.5% variance of leadership behavior. Specifically, the analysis demonstrated leadership behavior was influenced significantly by the imams' extraversion, agreeableness, and openness personality, social-normative MTL, and past leadership experiences. Imams' religiosity and general cognitive ability did not show potential to influence their leadership behavior. Furthermore, this research found socialnormative MTL showed partial mediation on the association of personality extraversion and openness with the criterion. Past leadership experiences did not mediate the leadership traits and behavior association. Finally, the analysis revealed high job autonomous situation has potential to moderate the influence of openness personality and affective-identity MTL toward leadership behavior.

Islamic Leadership Behavior Model for Malaysian Organizations - A Suggestion for Future Research
Reviews on conventional leadership literature have found that future model and taxonomy of leadership should incorporate various elements. Social, religious, and cultural elements are important to answer the needs of various organizations. This study provides some insights to conduct a comparative content analysis on conventional literature, models, and theories of managerial leadership based on the theoretical framework developed from classical and contemporary Islamic leadership literature. The comparative analysis will focus on three major aspects namely; (1) concepts and theories of modern managerial leadership behaviors and practices, (2) methods applied in developing taxonomies of managerial leadership behaviors and practices, and (3) scope and limitation of modern managerial leadership behaviors and practices. The main objective of the comparative content analysis is to develop "Islamic Leadership Behavior Model for Malaysian Organizations". The model is argued to be significant as previous literature concurs that spiritual and religious elements of leaders need to be incorporated in future development of leadership models. The approach for this current research will be both inductive and deductive in nature. Firstly, this research will commence by inducing models of Islamic Leadership through content analysis from leadership literature. The model will further be investigated among Malaysia's managers and leaders who work in various organizations through deductive approach. The investigation (deductive procedure) is important to address the issue of suitability of the model in Malaysian organizations. It also provide empirical supports the results obtained from the comparative content analysis. It is anticipated that the findings of this research will contribute to the development of Islamic Leadership Behaviour Model which could be applied by Muslims professionals in various sectors in Malaysia or elsewhere.
