Abstract

The present study aims to showcase in depth the unique role of Kiai (Islamic scholars) leadership in institutionalizing and disseminating the narrative of religious moderation in pesantren (Islamic boarding schools), and to explore the cultural strategies these schools use as effective bulwarks in deradicalization efforts. This study was designed with a qualitative, interpretive case study of several traditional and modern pesantren that played a central role in promoting tolerance in Banyuwangi, Indonesia. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews with Kiai and senior santri (pesantren students), participant observation of teaching and learning activities, and documentation of Islamic boarding school records. Study findings demonstrate that the Kiai leadership in Blokagung was uniquely charismatic and collegial, successfully institutionalizing religious moderation through the integration of the Salaf and the modern era and the establishment of UIMSYA. His primary cultural strategy was to instill the values ​​of Aswaja (tawazun, tasammuh) as an ideological inoculation. The Kiai/Nyai became actors who built social resilience grounded in concern and guided the politics of akhlaqi. This made the Islamic boarding school an effective bastion of deradicalization, disseminating moderate narratives in a structured and legitimate manner. The study provides a theoretical framework that contextualizes traditional Kiai leadership as a model of indigenous leadership in counter-extremism, offering valuable insights for global public policy on the use of community-based educational institutions to foster social cohesion and counter-radicalism.

Abstract

Meritocracy as a principle of fairness and reward for achievement is an important foundation in human resource management (HRM), and its application in the pesantren tradition contributes to strengthening management in Islamic Higher Education Institutions (PTKI). This study aims to examine how the applica-tion of meritocracy in the pesantren tradition can become a model for talent- and performance-based HRM in PTKI. The background of this study is the need for a fair and transparent HRM system to improve the quality of Islamic higher education. The research method used a qualitative approach with a case study at the Darussalam Blokagung Banyuwangi Islamic Boarding School, which is integrated with KH. Mukhtar Syafaat University. Data collection was carried out through interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The results of the study show that meritocracy is reflected in the selection, training, and evaluation mechanisms for students through an emphasis on academic achievement, spirituality, and leadership. Integration with PTKI strengthens performance-based HR management, producing high-quality graduates. This study provides a new perspective that the pesantren tradition is relevant as a model of talent, performance, and fairness-based HR management.
