Despite this, the number of graduates from Islamic banking education institutions and the number of graduates from Islamic banking institutions continues to grow year after year. As a result, who should be held accountable for this state of affairs in the talent pool? In order to determine the factors that were affecting the talent shortage in Malaysian Islamic banking institutions, the purpose of this study is to collect data from a variety of sources.
