Turkish-Islamic type management scale through the Nizamülmülk ideas

Abstract

Management science has emerged as a field that has attracted much attention, and different management models are constantly being researched. As a result, scientists are frequently on the agenda and conducting in-depth studies to develop a better or more ideal management model. The primary purpose of this study is to create a valid and trustworthy seven-dimensional scale to introduce a new management model to the literature. The scale has a unique value in that it fully covers the seven sub-dimensions it takes and is performed for the first time. Consequently, a valid and reliable scale was developed based on Siyasetname, one of Nizamülmülk's works. After the analysis, it was confirmed that it was an appropriate descriptive scale consisting of 32 items and seven sub-dimensions. The goodness-of-fit values of the scale (CMIN/SD: 2.13, RMSEA: 0.065, CFI: 0.93, GFI: 0.82, NFI: 0.89, SRMR: 0.067) were within acceptable ranges. This scale creates an opportunity to compare the management models preferred today, which is important for determining suitable management models. The article ends with a discussion of the theoretical and practical results and suggestions for future research.
