Qur’anic Foundations of Strategic HRM: Applying Makki and Madani Verses in Islamic Educational Institutions
Purpose – This study aims to integrate Islamic spiritual values into strategic Human Resource Management (HRM) practices within Islamic educational institutions by contextualizing Makki and Madani Qur’anic verses. It introduces a dual-framework model that enhances managerial effectiveness through spiritual grounding and normative regulation. Design/methods – Utilizing a qualitative literature-based methodology, this research applies content and thematic analysis to both Qur’anic texts and institutional HRM policies. Makki verses, which emphasize moral development and spirituality, are interpreted as foundations for character-building, while Madani verses, with their legalistic and regulatory content, guide institutional governance. Data triangulation, expert validation, and inter-coder reliability checks are employed to ensure analytical rigor. Findings – The study reveals that HRM strategies grounded in the Makki-Madani framework support a balanced approach to managing personnel by fostering ethical conduct (Makki) and enforcing structured policies (Madani). Institutions adopting this approach demonstrate higher adaptability to external changes and stronger internal cohesion. However, the lack of empirical data remains a limitation, suggesting the need for further field-based validation. Research implications/limitations – While this model offers theoretical advancement in integrating Islamic principles into HRM, its reliance on qualitative sources and the absence of quantitative evidence limit the generalizability of the findings. Future studies should include case studies, performance metrics, and stakeholder interviews for broader validation. Practical implications – Educational institutions can apply the Makki-Madani framework to improve staff development, policy formation, and organizational resilience. This duality fosters a sustainable work culture rooted in spiritual ethics and adaptive governance, enabling effective responses to regulatory and moral challenges. Originality/value –This is your opportunity to provide readers with an analysis of the value of your results. It’s a good idea to ask colleagues whether your analysis is balanced and fair, and again, it is important not to exaggerate. You can also conjecture what future research steps could be.

Academic Infrastructure and Student Satisfaction in Islamic Higher Education: Evidence from a Regression Study at UIN Sunan Kalijaga
Purpose – This study addresses the critical role of academic infrastructure in student satisfaction within Indonesian higher education, a context underexplored in existing literature. It examines whether facility availability at FITK UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta significantly impacts student satisfaction, offering empirical insights to guide institutional policies. Key findings reveal infrastructure as a primary determinant of satisfaction, reinforcing its strategic importance in academic environments. Design/methods – A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected via a 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 83 students (2020 cohort) selected through probability sampling (Slovin formula, 10% margin of error). Validity and reliability were confirmed using Pearson correlation (r-count > 0.1818) and Cronbach’s alpha (α > 0.90). Normality testing (Kolmogorov–Smirnov, p = 0.20) and SPSS v29-supported simple linear regression analyzed the relationship between infrastructure (independent variable) and satisfaction (dependent variable). Findings – Regression analysis demonstrated a significant positive effect (Y = 5.826 + 1.528X, p < 0.001), with infrastructure explaining 70.9% of satisfaction variance. Hypothesis testing confirmed the effect (F-test: p = 0.001; t-test: t-calculated = 14.035 > t-table = 1.664). All instrument items were valid (r-count > 0.1818) and reliable (α = 0.903–0.970). Research implications/limitations – The single-faculty focus and cross-sectional design limit generalizability. Unexplained variance (29.1%) suggests unmeasured factors (e.g., teaching quality) may influence satisfaction, warranting broader variable inclusion in future studies. Practical implications – Institutions should prioritize infrastructure investment, aligning development with student feedback and enrollment growth. Policymakers can leverage these findings to enhance institutional competitiveness and retention, integrating facility upgrades into budget planning. Originality/value – This study contributes novel empirical evidence from Indonesia’s Islamic higher education context, employing robust methodological rigor. It underscores infrastructure’s strategic value, proposing longitudinal, multi-institutional research to validate findings and explore non-material satisfaction drivers.
