Islamic educational institutions in remote areas face complex challenges in human resource management that directly affect institutional sustainability. This study aims to analyze human resource management (HRM) strategies in strengthening organizational resilience at MTS Hidayaturrahman Sanga-Sanga, Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan. The research employed a qualitative approach with a case study design, in which data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the school principal, teachers, administrative staff, and parents of students, complemented by observation and document analysis. Data analysis followed the interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and member checking to guarantee the credibility of research findings. The findings reveal that a series of HRM strategies—including continuous professional development, academic supervision, competency-based task assignment, and active teacher participation in subject teacher working groups (MGMP)—have significantly contributed to the institution's stability and adaptive capacity. These strategies collectively form a stronger institutional foundation capable of withstanding various external pressures and internal limitations. However, a shortage of teachers with qualifications aligned to their subject areas, limited digital literacy among some educators, inadequate supporting facilities, and disproportionate workloads remain structural barriers requiring systematic and well-planned intervention. This study recommends strengthening digital-based training programs, improving teacher academic qualifications, and optimizing foundation support as strategic steps toward building sustainable organizational resilience in Islamic junior secondary schools.
