People are the main source in determining the glory of any country or organization. Therefore people
are the most precious capital of a country or organization and referred to as human capital. In any
organization, manager plays important role among available human capital. Manager actions will shape
the management of the organization and will lead the organization to achieve its goals. For Islamic
organization, implementation of Human Capital Development (PMI) based on a Western perspective, will considered as a less appropriate approach. This paper aims to develop a conceptual model of PMI
from an Islamic perspective. Furthermore, this paper aims to provide useful insights for managers or
policy makers in understanding how to do Islamization in their organization and what needs to be done
to ensure successful process of Islamization. This study will fill the gap of knowledge on PMI based
Islamic perspective which consider quite limited. Qualitative method using existing available literature
through content analysis was used in this study. The study showed that PMI based Islamic perspective
should be encompass by both physical and spiritual (mind and emotions) aspects. The development of
both aspects will able to generate taqwa human capital which characterized by amar ma’ruf nahi
mungkar, has a clear mission, tawazun, sakinah, moral dignity and mutual cooperation. As conclusion,
PMI based Islamic perspective will have implications for the training conducted in organizations which
should not only focus on the physical aspect, but also need to focus on the spiritual aspect.

Academic procrastination is a behaviour which can be defined as putting off, delay, prolong, defer, stall, or postpone in performing tasks related to the academic. Academic procrastination is not a new phenomenon but it is a common behaviour especially among students as previous research has found that approximately 75% of students consider themselves as procrastinators. This issue is very much related to the “Student Syndrome” where student only starts to make themselves work in completing the task instantly right before the due date and leaving them with a very short period of time to complete it. There were many previous researchers that had investigated the factors that causing academic procrastination and one of the most common factors are parenting style. However, the pattern of the previous results was inconsistent. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate in deep on the relationship between the motivational aspects of parenting style to academic procrastination with focusing among the undergraduate students who are in their final year from Faculty of Human Ecology, Universiti Putra Malaysia. The research design of this study is a quantitative research and for that reason, a set of questionnaire was distributed to 148 respondents. Result shows that 52.7% of the final year students perceived at high level of academic procrastination. Apart from that, the result also shows that there is no significant relationship between gender and parenting styles to academic procrastination. As a conclusion, academic procrastination is a common behaviour among final year students. However, parenting styles does not affecting academic procrastination due to the students’ age which can be categorised as early adulthood which at this age, parenting style factors does not give an impact on academic procrastination.
