Value-Based Social Capital: An Overview of Social Exchange Theory

摘要

The limited quantity and quality of human resources increase the attention of Islamic banking to knowledge management. One of the efforts to encourage employee involvement in these practices is through human resource management policies. The policy is directed to motivate employees to share, create, and apply knowledge. In this article, the authors review it as a form of extrinsic motivation that has the potential to encourage social exchanges based on opportunism. The authors assume that Islamic banking should improve the quality of interpersonal relationships among employees based on the values of justice, integrity, trust, and honesty. Policies in human resource management (HRM) must also avoid practices that strengthen the value of individualism, materialism, and competition that tend to exploit employees. Method of analysis used literature study. This article concludes that this study has an implication in practical and empirical research about spiritual-based HRM and value-based social capital.
