Determinants Level of Knowledge and Awareness toward Staff University Technology Mara on Property Hibah Management Practices

Abstract

People are becoming more aware of hibah's role as the best property management solution. However, raising awareness isn't enough if the amount of property deferred grows year after year. This situation reflects a lack of awareness and exposure in the handling of estates in our society. The main goal of this research is to determine the level knowledge and awareness of hibah implementation among University of Technology citizens, as well as the factors that influence it. In addition, this study also aimed to examine differences in hibah practices according to selected background factors. The study population consisted of 100 staff in the Uitm Shah Alam and Sabah Branches. The findings of the study showed a high level of knowledge of Uitm Shah Alam and Sabah Branch residents on property management practices through hibah, which is an average mean range of 4.46. However, the level of awareness about the practice of hibah is moderate at 3.60. The analysis of the direct relationship found that the relationship between the level of knowledge that is (β = 0.242, p <0.024) has a significant influence on the willingness to implement hibah positively, while the relationship between the level of awareness that is (β = -0.968, p <0.001) affects the readiness of citizens to implement the grant is significant and positive. Therefore, the increase or decrease in the level of knowledge and awareness of hibah practices can affect the level of readiness of UiTM citizens to implement hibah. This means that the higher the level of knowledge of an individual, the more likely they are to implement hibah to manage their property. The implication of the high level of knowledge related to the practice of hibah will create self-awareness. The research findings may be utilized by hibah consultants to enhance their marketing approach in order to educate the public about the value of property hibah management practices and to strengthen Malaysia's Islamic estate planning industry.
