Abstract

Educational competitiveness in madrasah increasingly requires principals to regulate their responses to institutional challenges while maintaining organizational identity and developing contextually relevant educational programs. This study examines principal self-control as an adaptive leadership capacity in strengthening competitive advantage at MAN 1 and MAN 2 Ponorogo. A qualitative multiple-case study design was employed to examine each madrasah as a bounded case and subsequently compare findings across sites. Data were obtained through semi-structured interviews, observations, and institutional documents involving principals, teachers, and educational staff selected purposively based on their knowledge and involvement in leadership and program development. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, conclusion drawing and verification, within-case analysis, and cross-site comparison. The findings reveal three interconnected dimensions of principal self-control: cognitive, behavioral, and decisional control. Cognitive control was reflected in selective technology adoption, contextual curriculum adaptation, needs-based facility development, and the reframing of resource limitations as opportunities for external collaboration. Behavioral control appeared through emotional regulation and adaptive interpersonal relationships with teachers and students. Decisional control was demonstrated through problem identification, consultation with organizational actors, evaluation of alternatives, and strategic responses to students’ continuation to higher education. The findings indicate that these dimensions operate within institutional contexts and support adaptive leadership practices, program innovation, institutional differentiation, and competitive positioning. The study contributes a context-sensitive understanding of principal self-control as an internal leadership capacity supporting institutional adaptability and educational competitiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the implementation of transformative leadership by Madrasah heads as measured through the four dimensions identified by Bass and Avolio (1994), namely idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualised consideration in enhancing the competitiveness of Islamic educational institutions. The study employed a qualitative approach with a multi-site phenomenological design at two state madrasahs in the city of Surabaya, namely MTsN 1 and MTsN 3, which have equivalent institutional status but differ in their development orientation. Informants were selected purposively and comprised headteachers, deputy headteachers, teachers, educational staff, committee members, and parents at both sites. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation and documentation, and were subsequently analysed using Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2021) with data validity checked through triangulation of sources and methods. The research findings indicate that the four dimensions of transformational leadership are manifested through different strategies at each site: MTsN 1 emphasises academic innovation and technology-based learning, whilst MTsN 3 emphasises religious culture, religious moderation, and boarding school character education however, both consistently strengthen the institutions’ competitiveness by increasing enrolment numbers, student achievement, and the quality of human resources. This study also identified a pattern of leadership with spiritual significance, namely the interpretation of education as a form of worship and a trust that strengthens institutional identity and shared commitment. This finding broadens the understanding of transformative leadership by contextualising it within the values of Islamic education as an additional foundation for institutional competitiveness.
