Sharia Value Based HRM for Competence in Islamic Banking Employees

Abstract

Sharia value based human resource management frames employee competence as a unified standard of professional capability and moral accountability in Islamic banking. This article proposes a normative framework for developing competence that combines technical banking expertise, Islamic business ethics, and sharia compliance as inseparable elements of daily decision making. The discussion explains how values become operational through recruitment criteria, learning design, supervisory practices, performance evaluation, and reward systems that emphasize process integrity, truthful communication, and fairness in transactions. It argues that competence strengthens when employees understand the moral reasons behind rules, practice case based reasoning, and receive consistent feedback that reinforces responsible judgment under target pressure. The article also highlights the need for organizational justice, leadership exemplarity, and knowledge governance so that sharia standards remain clear, teachable, and enforceable across service lines. The proposed account supports coherent policy reasoning for internal governance and professional education within Islamic financial institutions, while preserving dignity for customers and employees. It concludes that competence formation is an institutional endeavor requiring alignment between ethical commitments and managerial systems.
