Submission Type
Paper Presentation
Abstract/Description
Human capital, a critical determinant of organizational performance, has been a strategic focus for the Islamic banking industry in Pakistan. This study investigates the direct and indirect influence of human capital skills on the performance of Islamic banks, mediated by social capital. Primary data collected from senior management, Shariah board members, and other relevant personnel using a structured questionnaire was analyzed to assess the relationship between these variables. Findings indicate that human capital, as measured by career development, skills and knowledge, and training and development, has a significant and direct impact on Islamic bank performance. Moreover, social capital partially mediates the relationship between skills knowledge, and organizational outcomes. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing valuable insights into the interplay of human and social capital in Islamic banking, offering a framework for enhancing performance and addressing contemporary challenges.
