MANAGING THE SOCIAL INSTITUTIONS TOWARDS ETHICAL SOCIETY: A STUDY ON HUMAN RESOURCE UTILIZATION FRAMEWORK OF SUNNA NABAWIYYAH

Abstract

A society consists of several social institutions that operate to meet different needs and demands of its members. The effective management of these social institutions is crucial to create a fully developed nation strengthened by strong moral and ethical values. The effective management of a social institution depends on leaders and managers of these institutions, along with those who participate in the management process. Appointing the right people across different decision-making areas, ensures positive impact on overall performance and output of the institution. A good number of scholars have recognized that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as the most successful leader in human history, who managed different social institutions successfully. His methodology of ‘appointing the right person for the right work’ is significant and noteworthy. Therefore, this research explores the human resource utilization framework used in Sunna Nabawiyyah and its’ implication in managing the social institutions. In this research, the researcher used content analysis method to analyze related Hadiths and the biographical notes of the Prophet (pbuh) by coding and classifying them to derive the framework. This research found that the human resource utilization framework based on the Sunna Nabawiyyah contained four key criteria namely; (i) natural talents, (ii) competencies, (iii) integrity, and (iv) receptivity. Outcome of this research not only helps in reviewing existing management system of social institution but also develop a nation with strong moral and ethical values
