<![CDATA[Performance appraisal management of educators and educational staff is a strategic aspect of improving the quality of Islamic education in madrasahs. Performance appraisal serves not only as an instrument for measuring the achievement of duties and responsibilities but also as a basis for competency development, professional development, and continuous improvement of educators and educational staff. This article aims to analyze the management of performance appraisal for educators and educational staff in improving the quality of Islamic education in madrasahs. This study employs a qualitative approach using a library research method. Data were obtained through a review of relevant literature, including scholarly books, academic articles, and educational policy documents related to performance management, performance appraisal, educators and educational staff, and the quality of Islamic education. The data were analyzed descriptively and analytically by identifying, organizing, and interpreting relevant concepts and research findings. The results indicate that effective performance appraisal management should be implemented through systematic stages, including planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, feedback, and follow-up. Performance appraisal conducted objectively, transparently, continuously, and based on competency indicators can help madrasahs identify the strengths and weaknesses of educators and educational staff. The results of the appraisal can subsequently serve as a basis for professional development programs, training, mentoring, recognition, and improvements in madrasah management. Therefore, systematic and continuous performance appraisal management contributes to improving the professionalism of human resources, the effectiveness of the learning process, the quality of educational services, and the sustainable achievement of Islamic education quality in madrasah.
