Abstract: Each human soul needs a wise direction to steer them into the right path. A means that may support regulating a person’s soul with all kinds of traits, qualities, and capabilities is good governance. Good moral principles such as integrity, honesty, respect, and accountability can help individuals discover their actual purpose in life, especially when they work for an organisation. This is essential in light of the increasingly demanding role that higher education plays, which calls for effective oversight to satisfy the needs of many different stakeholders and the need to deliver top-notch education to future generations. To become the cornerstone of a university’s success, it is imperative to have excellent educators, administrators, and management. The Human Governance Index (HGI) was created at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Johor to assess how well a university has succeeded in governing its people. This paper provides oversight over the development of the Human Governance Index (HGI), based on an analysis of key policies, and circular guidelines related to UiTM. A qualitative research design was employed by conducting (2) Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) such as academic and professional staff, which aim to obtain in-depth inputs and feedback that is crucial for the development of the HGI index. Based on the findings, there are four pillars of the HGI index which are (1) transparency; (2) accountability; (3) efficiency; and (4) effectiveness. The development of the HGI index may help promote good governance, especially at universities, which will indirectly benefit the educational system. A total of 19 indicators were proposed and validated with two experts at national level. The development of the HGI index is consistent with the MADANI concept, which places a strong emphasis on good governance.
