The main objective of this paper is to examine the effects of Islamic Ethical Administrative
Practice (IEAP) on Masjid Performance (MP) among Muslims Community in Lagos State, Nigeria.
This study utilized a quantitative approach where it employs a cross-sectional survey and 296
questionnaires returned from Chief Imams of Masaajid (Mosques) in Lagos State, Nigeria. The
study used statistical package for social science (SPSS V23) to analyze the data collected. The
finding of this study showed that empirical data demonstrates a significant contribution to how
IEAP affect Masjid performance. Regression results of the constructs of IEAP indicated that there
were positive and significant relationships between IEAP and MP because, the IEAP contained
seventeen items which include four constructs model (dimensions): competition, effort, morally
responsible conduct, and transparency. Likewise, the Masjid performance is measured by using
nine items which include three dimensions: attendance of Masjid, activities of Masjid, and funds
of Masjid. In addition, the data on the performance of Masjid demonstrates that the Jama’ah (the
congregation of Masjid) would emulate their Imams and consequently increase the performance
of the Masjid. The novelty of this method considers the useful implementation of the idea of
domains of IEAP sources in order to carry the Jama’ah along in the decision-making process of
the Masjid in Lagos State particularly, and Nigeria in general.
