Kajian Literatur tentang Nilai-Nilai Budaya Palaku dalam Perkawinan Adat Dayak Ngaju dan Relevansinya terhadap Pengembangan Manajemen Sumber Daya Manusia

Abstract

Palaku is an essential component of the Dayak Ngaju traditional marriage system that embodies cultural values such as responsibility, commitment, respect, socio-economic preparedness, and appreciation of family relationships. Although previous studies have examined Palaku from cultural, legal, and social perspectives, limited attention has been given to its relevance within the field of Human Resource Management (HRM). This study aims to analyze and synthesize previous research on the cultural values of Palaku in Dayak Ngaju traditional marriage and to identify their relevance to Human Resource Management concepts. This study employed a Narrative Literature Review using a qualitative descriptive approach. Data were collected from peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and other relevant scholarly publications, and were analyzed through content analysis and thematic synthesis. The findings indicate that Palaku embodies fundamental values of responsibility, commitment, respect, socio-economic preparedness, and cultural adaptability to social change. These values demonstrate conceptual relevance to several HRM constructs, including achievement motivation, self-efficacy, organizational commitment, organizational culture, and human resource development. This review suggests that Palaku should not merely be understood as a customary marriage tradition but also as a form of local wisdom that provides valuable cultural foundations for character development and culturally based human resource development.
