The development of the Islamic finance industry in Indonesia requires the availability of competent human resources (HR) in accordance with the needs of the industry. However, there are still graduates of the Sharia Economics Study Program who work in fields that are not in accordance with their educational background so that their competencies have not been utilized optimally. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the suitability of the field of work of Sharia Economics graduates and the sustainability of human resource development in the Islamic finance industry. The research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method through the analysis of various relevant scientific journals, articles, and academic publications. The results of the study show that the suitability of the field of work contributes to optimizing the competence of graduates, improving the quality and productivity of human resources, and supporting the sustainability of the development of the Islamic finance industry. On the other hand, the mismatch in the field of work has the potential to hinder the utilization of graduate competencies and reduce the effectiveness of human resource development. Therefore, synergy is needed between universities and the Islamic finance industry in increasing the relevance of graduate competencies to the needs of the world of work so that they can produce human resources who are professional, competitive, and able to contribute optimally to the development of the Islamic finance industry.
