Human Governance Management in Islamic Higher Education Institutions
Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The role of a university now is no longer to produce a good man but that of a factory producing human resource to fulfil the needs of the industry. The university has diminished from the status of a centre of learning, becoming more utilitarian. This paper discusses leader ship style and its relation to the understanding of higher learning institution leaders on the role of universities. Corporate governance of such leaders has established universities as suppliers of mass generic product for the materialistic profit-orientated industrial market. The focus of universities has shifted from the enhancement of student quality to enrolment quantity bringing maximum profit gain with students as customers. The framework of administration is based on code and conduct as well as the limitations of guidelines (SOP, KPI etc.). This differs from governance that prioritises on the internal quality of insan at every level of organisation, from academics, administration staff to students (human centric). The orientation of a university should be to mould insan ta’dibi with spiritual strength and internal quality as well as good judgement. The framework of insan leadership administration is based on the potential of insan as unique individuals bearing internal human values and more pristine principles in managing organisations. The information in this paper is based on literature reviews and experience of the researcher as an educator and student. Universities should not place material returns (medals, status, money and ranking) as their main focus. This paper introduces the preliminary study of the need for further research in the area of education administration on the understanding and aim of universities among administrators of institution of higher learnings. Leaders in Islamic higher learning institutions should clearly understand the real meaning and role of a university that will enable them to apply human governance in the management of a higher learning institution. This paper also discusses the uncertainty of university leaders in implementing the corporate governance or human governance or insan leadership style in the management of an institution of higher learning.
