Case history data

Case history data is a record of a persons background or medical history

kept by a doctor or social worker (Barnes et, al., 1994). This research method
was practiced in the recruitment process in Proton. For the first example, an
applicant must submit their resume to the organization for recruiting
reference. Second, Proton used the concept of head hunter in which the
professional people attempted to find out a person who has a lot of
experiences to allow them to join Proton Company to fix with the required
position by referring their qualifications especially when they need the high
position. For instance, their professional financial controller was retired
recently. Therefore, this case history method was applied to find a person for
replacing the position.
Moreover, there are two ways used by Proton to know whether the applicant
qualified with the position or not. By using this case history method, firstly,
the applicant must submit the whole paper qualification to Proton Company.
Basically, this is an individual process which suit for the applicant who
applies the normal position. Secondly, Proton practiced the third party
evaluation to ensure the qualification of the applicant. For example, the head
hunter asks the third party about an applicants attitude for fixing especially
the high position.
Proton also has applied the case history data in firing process in order to deal
with the employees who have low performance. They try to find out the
reasons why it happened by inviting the psychologists to come in to conduct
the interview process with their problematic employees. The problems could
be family problems, financial constraints and mismatching with other
employees. Other than that, the qualification of the employees also could be
one of the problems that lead to low performance such as the employees had
been asked to work as a designer but their qualification is in civil engineer.
So, the inappropriate job that has be given to them also can be a problem.
In Islamic perspective, the case history data was applied in the time of
Prophet about the rulings on zihar (Alias, 2005), there was a story of a
husband and wife. According to Othman (2008), one day Aus Bin Samit said
to his wife, Khaulah Binti Thalabah; You are like my mothers back to me,
and Aus went out and come back to be with his wife. However, Khaulah
refused him to have his way with her. As a result, Allah sent down Surah
Mujadilah verses 1-5 regarding the zihar due to this event. In conclusion, the
case history is used to make the best decision in the future by guiding from
the past history. As an organization, Proton Company has a responsible to
recruit people for joining them based on the qualification and the background
of applicants because it will lead to the development of their company.
