Abstract

Managing human talents from religion perspective meets various challenges. The gaps of understanding and applications of Islamic principles have caused the discrimination and favoritism among the different candidates’ background. Talent identification from Islamic principles is relevant to be practiced in the modern world. This study was aimed to identify the level of talent identifications from Islamic perspective among government-linked companies (GLCs) in Malaysia and its effect on organizational justice. Mean was witnessed at 4.087 which represented high level of talent identifications from Islamic perspective. From the correlation analysis, Islamic human talents identification and organizational justice have shown a significant relationship from one to another. The correlation between independent and dependent variables was positive and highly significant at the 0.01 level (two tailed). Thus, the relationship between Islamic human talents identification variables and organizational justice was strong. This study has revealed that the Islamic principles were the main key for Malaysia’s GLCs to increase the number of potential leaders. Positive acceptance of Islamic principles will avoid unbiased and unethical exercises where justice meets in every single task. Islamic principles allow employees to conform to the good way to reach success in their life to perform greater and always meet the expectation of their employers.
