The abstract provided outlines the important need to achieve work-life harmony among academic professionals and highlights the importance of integrating the principles of Maqasid Syariah to enhance social prosperity in Malaysian public universities. It acknowledges the challenges inherent in balancing professional duties and personal life, emphasizing the adverse effects that result from this balance being well managed. With the aim of addressing this existing scholarship gap, this study proposes a conceptual framework for a work-life harmony model based on the principles of Maqasid Syariah, aimed at fostering holistic well-being among academic professionals. In line with the wider societal objectives set out in the Shared Prosperity Vision 2030, this study will also support the implementation of a comprehensive work-life policy by university management. This abstract lays the groundwork for a study that is poised to offer valuable insights into human resource strategies and practices that prioritize the well-being of academic professionals in Malaysian Public Universities, thereby enhancing both social prosperity and organizational effectiveness.
