Abstract

The era of digital disruption has created significant challenges for Islamic educational institutions, particularly Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools, in maintaining their educational identity while responding to rapid technological developments. This study aims to analyze crisis management practices at Pondok Pesantren Hidayatus Salafiyah in Lampung Timur and to develop an integrated crisis management model that supports organizational resilience without compromising the institution's religious values and educational traditions. This study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the kyai, educators, administrative staff, and students, as well as participant observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis involving data reduction, coding, categorization, interpretation, and triangulation to ensure the credibility and trustworthiness of the findings.The findings indicate that crisis management within the pesantren is characterized by three main dimensions. First, digital adaptation is implemented selectively rather than comprehensively, whereby technological innovation is adopted only when it supports educational quality and institutional governance while preserving the traditional bandongan and sorogan learning systems. Second, Islamic values, including amanah, shura, ikhlas, ukhuwah, tawakkul, and maslahah, serve as the ethical foundation for organizational decision-making during periods of disruption. Third, the study proposes the Integrated Crisis Management Model for Salafiyah Islamic Boarding Schools in the Era of Digital Disruption (ICM-SIBS Model), consisting of six interrelated components: external disruption, crisis identification, crisis leadership, Islamic ethical filtering, selective digital adaptation, human resource capacity building, and organizational resilience. This study concludes that effective crisis management in Salafiyah Islamic boarding schools is achieved not through comprehensive digitalization but through adaptive leadership, value-based governance, selective technological adoption, and continuous human resource development. The proposed model contributes to the development of crisis management theory in Islamic educational institutions by integrating Islamic ethical values with organizational adaptation and digital transformation.
