The #KaburAjaDulu phenomenon as a form of sudden resignation from the workplace has become a reflection of the resistance of the younger generation to modern work culture. Santri, as a social group with an Islamic boarding school educational background, bring distinctive religious and moral values in facing the reality of a competitive work world that often conflicts with their idealistic principles. This study aims to analyze the perspective of santri on the #KaburAjaDulu phenomenon and examine the factors behind the decision. Using a qualitative approach with the theory of person-organization fit and cultural resistance, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 alumni of Islamic boarding schools An-Nawawi Purworejo who had experienced sudden resignation. The results of the study showed that the inconsistency between religious values and organizational culture, structural injustice, and the lack of space for self-actualization were the main drivers of santri choosing #KaburAjaDulu. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding personal values in managing human resources and designing a more culturally inclusive workplace.
