Abstract: This study aims to explore the behaviour of academicians in Indonesia towards investment in Islamic capital market (ICM). The concept of behaviour is analysed through the dimensions of the awareness and attitude. Four propositions were tested to identify whether there is any difference in the awareness and attitude based on demographic profiles and level of knowledge in ICM. The questionnaires were distributed with 280 responses were collected. Descriptive and non-parametric tests were performed to analyse the data. The findings uncovered relatively high level of awareness towards investment in ICM among the academicians yet their participation in the ICM activities is very limited. Religious motivation was found to be the main reason for investing. There was no difference in the awareness and attitude based on demographic factors. However there was significant difference in the attitude based on religion and awareness as well as attitude based on the level of knowledge about ICM.
