Abstract

The growing demand for sustainable innovation in educational institutions underscores the importance of leadership models grounded in ethical and religious values. In the context of Islamic education, leadership is not only expected to drive organizational performance but also to uphold Islamic ethical principles that shape decision-making and innovation practices. This study aims to examine the influence of Islamic Leadership on sustainable school innovation, with Islamic Business Ethics serving as a mediating variable. The research focuses on Islamic private schools in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. The study employs a quantitative research design using a survey method. From a total of 349 Islamic private schools, 100 schools were selected as the research sample using purposive sampling. Data were collected from school leaders and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 software to test both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that Islamic Leadership has a significant and positive effect on sustainable school innovation. Furthermore, Islamic Leadership positively influences the implementation of Islamic Business Ethics. The results also confirm that Islamic Business Ethics significantly mediates the relationship between Islamic Leadership and school innovation, indicating that ethical practices strengthen the impact of leadership on innovation outcomes. These findings imply that integrating Islamic ethical values into leadership practices is essential for fostering sustainable innovation in Islamic educational institutions. In practice, school leaders are encouraged to embed Islamic Business Ethics into the organizational culture to enhance innovation and long-term educational sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose:This study aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of employee empowerment and organizational commitment on the job performance of Islamic bank employees, with the presence of a mediating variable. Design/Method:The study employs a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling  (PLS-SEM) to assess the measurement model (validity and reliability) and the structural model (hypothesis testing using path coefficients, R2, and bootstrapping). The population consists of 941 Islamic bank employees, from which 273 respondents were selected via questionnaire, following sampling criteria aligned with established guidelines such as Krejcie and Morgan. Findings:The results show that employee empowerment and organizational commitment have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. This indicates that greater autonomy and stronger attachment to the organization enhance employees’ work outcomes. Furthermore, organizational commitment mediates the relationship between employee empowerment and performance, suggesting that empowerment improves performance both directly and indirectly by strengthening employees’ commitment within Islamic banking contexts.Practical Implications:The findings imply that Islamic banks should implement concrete strategies to enhance employee performance through empowerment and organizational commitment. This can be achieved by delegating authority, providing continuous training, fostering a participative work environment, and strengthening an organizational culture grounded in Islamic values such as amanah (trust) and responsibility to improve employee loyalty and performance.Originality/Value:This study provides empirical evidence on the mediating role of organizational commitment in the relationship between employee empowerment and employee performance within Islamic banks in Riau Province.
