Analysing the validity of excellent ummah personality among university students using confirmatory factor analysis
Nazneen Ismail1, Syaidatun Nazirah Abu Zahrin2.
This study was carried out to confirm the validity of the excellent ummah personality
scale. The excellent ummah personality was represented using six sub-constructs, namely
ibadah (worship), akidah (faith), akhlak (attitude) towards self (6 items), akhlak (attitude)
towards family (6 items) and akhlak (attitude) towards society (6 items). Using purposive
sampling technique, a total of 415 respondents from six universities were chosen as the
participants. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted using the AMOS software
version 25.0. Initially, the measurement model of excellent ummah personality had
demonstrated poor-fit indices whilst the correlation between sub-constructs was shown to be
high. However, after undergoing the goodness-of-fit, results for the fit indices for measurement
model were found to have been improved. The evaluation on the validity and reliability has
also been performed for the measurement model. The number of items remaining for modified
measurement model was 3 items for ibadah, 3 items for akidah, 3 items for akhlak towards
family and 3 items for akhlak towards society. Therefore, this scale, which has undergone the
CFA process, is valid as the measurement tool to assess the level of excellent ummah
personality among Muslim students.
