PERAN KEPEMIMPINAN ISLAMI DALAM MENDORONG BUDAYA MUTU DI LEMBAGA PENDIDIKAN ISLAM

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the role of Islamic leadership in encouraging a culture of quality in Islamic educational institutions. Using a qualitative approach, data was collected through interviews, observation and document analysis at several Islamic educational institutions. The main findings show that leadership based on Islamic values, character education, community involvement, and development of future leadership are important factors in forming a culture of quality in Islamic educational institutions. Leadership based on Islamic principles, such as justice, simplicity and empathy, provides a strong foundation for the formation of an inclusive and sustainable quality culture. Leaders of Islamic educational institutions actively promote character education based on Islamic values as an integral part of their curriculum, while also establishing partnerships with communities to strengthen students' Islamic identity and support the development of a culture of quality. The implication of this research is the importance of recognizing and implementing Islamic leadership principles in the management of Islamic educational institutions. Leadership based on Islamic values is able to inspire and motivate staff and students to actively participate in establishing a positive quality culture. Community involvement also provides significant support in efforts to strengthen a culture of quality in Islamic educational institutions.
