ANALISIS PEMBERIAN KOMPENSASI DALAM MENINGKATAN KINERJA GURU DALAM PRERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM

Abstract

Compensation provision is one of the crucial factors in encouraging improved performance of educators, especially teachers, who hold a strategic role in the educational process. This study aims to analyze the influence of compensation on improving teacher performance from the perspective of Islamic economics. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies involving several teachers within Islamic educational institutions. The results of the study indicate that fair and appropriate compensation contributes positively to enhancing teachers' motivation, loyalty, and professionalism in carrying out their duties. From the perspective of Islamic economics, compensation is not merely a form of remuneration, but also a reflection of the principles of justice (‘adl), trust (amanah), and welfare, which support the creation of a productive and blessed work environment. The concept of compensation in Islam emphasizes the importance of valuing work that is performed lawfully (halal) and sincerely (ikhlas), without neglecting spiritual and moral aspects. Therefore, an ideal compensation system in the Islamic view must meet the elements of justice, transparency, and be able to balance individual and institutional interests. By applying the principles of Islamic economics in compensation practices, it is expected that sustainable improvement in teacher performance can be achieved, thereby enhancing the overall quality of education.
