| Summary: | The research aimed to examine the recruitment and selection processes at an Islamic university in Malaysia. Given the positive growth in Islamic economy coupled with expanding
Muslim population around the world, Muslim organizations are expected to prosper. However, the growth in the business depends on how the organizations manage employees.
Hiring people with the right talents and Islamic attributes are pertinent to increase the performance of Muslim organizations. An Islamic university was chosen as the context of the study due to its reputation as one of the prominent international Islamic universities in Malaysia. Data was collected from secondary and primary sources. The secondary data was taken from a report on a focused group discussion with deans from various faculties and the
primary data was collected by interviewing two HR employees and a newly employed academic staff. The findings revealed that the university used various recruitment sources such as online job postings, employee referrals and recommendations. In the selection process, specific questions were asked in order to assess the job candidates’ talents, personal attributes and religiosity. The study findings are expected to be used as the point of reference
for other Islamic universities as well as Muslim organizations in general. |
