| Summary: | This study was designed to investigate the effects of halal certification approach
through several key variables. The identified variables include planning, procedures,
implementation, monitoring and assurance, and commitment to improving halal food
industry performance among SMEs in Malaysia. A self-administered questionnaire
with closed-ended questions to measure the planning, procedure, implementing,
controlling and commitment influence the organizational performance is used. The
questionnaires were distributed to the committee members amongst halal Small and
Medium Enterprise (SMEs) in Malaysia, in which 344 are usable for analysis. Smart
PLS version 2.0 was used to analyze the relationship of each construct. The outcome
of this study showed a positive relationship between halal control, the implementation
of halal standards, organizational commitment and organizational performance. The study found that organizational performance is influenced by a combination of related
elements in the internal organization control, including halal control, halal standard
implementation and commitment which generates a high performance. This study
has provided some implications on theory, model and practical implication. Halal
certification approach elements should acknowledged by all parties in transforming
