Abstract

This study investigates the role of digital leadership in strengthening quality culture across Islamic educational institutions at various levels, from early childhood to higher education. Employing a qualitative multi-site case study approach, this research collected data through interviews, observations, and document analysis to explore how technological adoption and value-based practices shape institutional effectiveness. The findings reveal that digital leadership significantly enhances decision-making, coordination, instructional innovation, and the use of data-driven tools for quality monitoring. Leaders actively utilize digital platforms to support participatory, evidence-based governance and quality monitoring. The integration of Islamic values, including trustworthiness, discipline, and ethical digital conduct, further reinforces the consistency and depth of quality culture implementation, creating a leadership model that is both technologically adaptive and morally grounded. Higher education and senior secondary institutions show the highest level of maturity in integrating digital leadership with quality culture. In contrast, early childhood and elementary levels exhibit foundational digital adoption supported by strong value formation. The study concludes that successful digital transformation in Islamic education requires visionary leaders who can integrate technological competence, continuous quality improvement, and spiritual values. Practical implications highlight the need for structured digital capacity-building, leadership training, and strategic policy support. Future research is recommended to examine broader comparative contexts and the potential scalability of the proposed model.

Abstract

This study examines the role of learning organization leadership in creating the competitive advantage of madrasahs through a business strategy approach. The study is grounded in the assumption that madrasahs, as Islamic educational institutions, are required to respond to globalization, intensifying competition, and increasing public expectations by strengthening both organizational learning and strategic management. A qualitative design with an exploratory case study approach was employed to investigate madrasahs that had implemented learning organization leadership and demonstrated competitive advantage. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis and were analyzed using qualitative data analysis supported by triangulation to ensure trustworthiness. The findings reveal that learning organization leadership is characterized by a clear and measurable vision, a strong commitment to continuous learning and professional development, the cultivation of a collaborative learning culture, effective teamwork, openness to change, and encouragement of innovation. These leadership characteristics enable madrasahs to formulate adaptive business strategies aimed at improving learning quality, strengthening service quality, enhancing institutional competitiveness, attracting prospective students, and increasing public trust. The study also shows a functional relationship in which learning organization leadership serves as the enabling force, business strategy acts as the value-creation mechanism, and competitive advantage emerges as the organizational outcome. In conclusion, the study highlights that visionary, adaptive, and stakeholder-oriented leadership is essential for sustaining the relevance, legitimacy, and competitiveness of madrasahs in a rapidly changing educational environment.
