Examining technology-driven facilities management practices in campus mosques on Muslim student well-being for academic success

Purpose During peak times, such as Friday prayers and Eid, mosques accommodate large crowds, presenting unique facilities management (FM) challenges in maintaining functionality and efficiency. This study examines the impact of technology-driven FM on campus mosque facilities, focusing on Muslim students’ perceptions in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana to support academic success, student well-being and spiritual engagement. Design/methodology/approach The research adopts a quantitative approach within the positivist paradigm, utilising deductive reasoning to collect structured data using closed-ended questions. The study used both random and convenience sampling. Data was gathered from 248 Muslim students who are registered members of the Ghana Muslim Students Association (GMSA). SPSS version 26 descriptive statistical tools were used to analyse the data in frequencies and percentages. Findings The results emphasise the importance of technology-driven facilities management in improving mosque functionality, accessibility and student satisfaction. The study indicates that well-managed mosque facilities significantly contribute to students’ academic and personal growth by providing a supportive environment for spiritual and academic activities. Digital tools such as prayer reminders, booking systems and online communication platforms are essential for balancing academic commitments with spiritual practices, enhancing students’ overall well-being. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine the role of technology-driven facilities management in supporting Muslim students’ academic and well-being within campus mosques in Ghana. It provides valuable insights into how educational institutions can optimise mosque facilities through technology.
