The study empirically revealed the constructs that affect attitude of apps developers to comply with the Islamic Work Ethic in developing an Islamic mobile app. The Islamic Work Ethic (al-birr and Masuliyah) in this study was built based on the Mobile Apps Rating Scale (MARS) criteria, which are Engagement (EN), Functionality (FC), Aesthetics (AE) and Information (IN). This is mainly due to the lack of content authenticity and reliability, ideas in order to create interesting apps and the guidelines to the app's developer in developing mobile Islamic applications that comply with Work Ethics Islam. The experimental research design was deployed to validate the number of items of questions in the questionnaire. In this research, the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was conducted using SPSS. The empirical results showed four factor such as Engagement, Functionality, Aesthetic and information. Based on the findings of this study, it is hoped that it can attract the attention of apps’ developers to practice the Islamic Work Ethic when developing Islamic mobile apps in the future.
