An important task for any organisation is to manage its employees well in order to enhance their performance. The fact that they are dealing with people makes it difficult to have one style of management that fits all. There have been many studies on this focusing on Western and Chinese run companies while fewer studies have examined how Islamic teachings are used to govern employees in their workplace. This study evaluated the level of acceptance and adoption of Islamic Human Resource Management practices among organisations in Malaysia in relation to emotional intelligence and affective commitment. Although the sample size of this study was small, the results provided important preliminary findings on the topic. The findings of this study showed a significant positive relationship between Islamic HRM practices, emotional intelligence, and organisational commitment, specifically affective commitment, among selected Islamic-based organisations in Malaysia.
