Researches have highlighted significant cultural and religious contextual differences in leadership studies. This research aims to investigate variance of Islamic leadership behaviour orientation among women managers in Malaysia government-linked companies or GLCs. This research is a survey research and was conducted between 2013 and 2015. A set of self-administered Islamic Leadership Inventory (ILI) questionnaire with 25 dimensions and 75 items were distributed to 208 Muslim women managers who hold leadership roles around Malaysia GLCs. The managerial backgrounds such as age, tenure and leadership positions were also investigated. The results of analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that Islamic leadership behaviour is understood and practiced widely by women officers across ages, years of working, and leadership positions. Future research could investigate ILI with leadership performance variables to increase the validity of the inventory.
