Trabzon İli Diyanet Çalışanlarının İslami Finansal Okur Yazarlığı Üzerine Bir Alan Araştırması

The awareness of the basic principles and working method of Islamic Finance, which is rooted in Islamic economics, which is indisputably important in terms of its aim to be a breath of fresh air in the changing economic conjuncture in recent years, is considered to be very important both in terms of the sector and academically. This study investigates the level of Islamic financial knowledge of Trabzon Diyanet employees and the effects of this knowledge on their financial attitudes, behaviours and religious beliefs. The results of the study reveal that the majority of the participants have a high level of knowledge about the principles of Islamic finance and this knowledge strengthens their tendency to avoid interest and to prefer financial instruments in accordance with Islam. In addition, demographic variables such as education level and place of work were observed to create differences in the level of knowledge. Some of the participants feel hopeless about the future. Training programmes to increase Islamic financial literacy need to be increased
