Abstract

The study explores the integration of Islamic principles into Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, aiming to understand its implications for organizational effectiveness and employee well-being. Employing a qualitative research methodology, the study utilizes semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and observations to gather data from HR practitioners, managers, and employees involved in implementing Islamic HRM practices. Thematic analysis is employed to identify key themes, patterns, and challenges related to the integration process. The findings highlight the significance of HR practitioners' awareness of Islamic principles in shaping HRM practices and the challenges posed by cultural barriers and resistance to change. Despite these challenges, integrating Islamic principles into HRM practices offers benefits such as enhanced organizational performance, employee motivation, and well-being. Strategies to address the lack of awareness among HR practitioners and promote diversity and inclusion initiatives are proposed to facilitate the integration process. The study underscores the importance of aligning HRM practices with Islamic values to create ethical, inclusive, and culturally sensitive work environments.
