Integrating the Element of Al-Qalb in the Institutional Leadership Competencies Framework: A Content Validity Analysis

Drawing upon the Higher Education Leadership Academy Model, a prior proposition was made that Al-Qalb is one of the relevant dimensions in the institutional leadership competencies in higher education institutions. The objective of this study is to examine the content validity of Al-Qalb as one of the dimensions to be incorporated in the institutional leadership competencies framework and measure an analysis of previous literatures related to leadership competencies in the higher education institutions context was carried out to identify and examine relevant attributes in explaining and understanding the construct. The results provide adequate evidence of content validity of Al-Qalb as one of the leadership competencies items based on content validity index (CVI) analysis. This suggests the usability and content validity of the items of Al-Qalb, as one of the leadership competencies elements in the Malaysian higher education institutions.
