Developing an Islamic Human Resource Development Mode (IHRD) to Strengthen the Organization's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Abstract

Objective: This study proposed and developed an Islamic Human Resources Development (IHRD) model for Organizational Sustainability. Theoretical Framework: The worldview theory conducted as the framework of this study. Worldview defined as a set of fundamental beliefs of human being. This study specifically elaborated the fundamental concepts of Swanson’s theory of HRD and integrated them into the Islamic fundamental concepts. This integration then became the foundation for the development of IHRD conceptual model. Method: This literature study was performed using philosphical approach. The primary sources for this study are Richard Swanson's works on HRD. Content analysis and comparative analysis are the techniques of data analysis used. Results and Discussion: Firstly, HRD in Swanson's view is not based on the concept of God. In contrast, the Islamic worldview makes God the central concept. Secondly, the incorporation of the concept of God in HRD theory broadens its scope includes material and spiritual well-being, eradicating exploitation and sustainability values Research Implications: This study will be useful in developing academic discussions on Islam and HRD. Empirical testing of this study is the practical implication in strengthen the organization's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by introducing worldview theory as a framework for HRD studies. This study is expected to provide a conceptual guide for Muslim HRD practitioners, particularly those living in Muslim-populated countries. Further research on the discussion of Islam and HRD development is necessary to conduct.
