We revisit $\bar{B}_s\to \pi K$, $\pi K^{\ast}$ and $\rho K$ decays within QCDF formalism and examine the possible effects of a family non-universal $Z^\prime$ boson in these decays. In our evaluations, the strong constraints from $B_d-\bar{B_d}$ mixing on the strength of the left-handed flavor-changing $d-b-Z^{\prime}$ coupling $B_{db}^{L}$ ~($\sim0.2\times10^{-3}$) is also included. Numerically, we find that a new weak phase $\phi^L_d\sim-50^{\circ}$ involved in $B_{db}^{L}$, the negative combination of the $u-u-Z^{\prime}$ and $d-d-Z^{\prime}$ couplings $P_{ud}^{R}$ and/or $D_{ud}^{L}$ with larger absolute value are crucial to improve the agreement of ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s\to \pi^- K^+)$ between the SM prediction and the experimental measurement. Generally, ${\cal B}(\bar{B}_s\to \pi^- K^+)$ could be reduced by about 18% at most by $Z^{\prime}$ contributions. Moreover, combining with the recent updated measurement on $\beta_s$ by CDF and D0 collaborations, we also find that $Z^{\prime}$ effects in $\bar{B}_s\to \pi^- K^+$ decays are very important for examining whether the CKM-like hierarchy persists in a family non-universal $Z^{\prime}$ coupling matrix.
