The Role Of HRM Practices in Shaping Organisational Innovation in Malaysia Waqf Institutions: A Conceptual Paper

Abstract

The current pace of change in the world is unprecedented. As a result, the environment of NPO  institutions and organisations has been affected by this rapid change, particularly the major  development in the domains of management and the requirements of the society they serve. Third sector organisations, particularly waqf institutions, must constantly innovate in order to maintain  a competitive advantage and achieve their goals of high economic and social values. Human  resource management practices can be used to achieve this goal. Thus, the objective of this  research is to examine the correlation between human resource management practices and  organisational innovation. Using a cross-sectional approach, the study involved waqf institutions  in Malaysia. Two human resource management practices served as independent variables in this  study (performance appraisal and training and development). Organization innovation (Product /  service innovation) was used as dependent variable.
