This includes primary research projects in schools and further vocational and higher education institutions. This journal encourages contributions that respond to important issues in management education. Contributions may be either conceptual or empirical and are welcomed from any topic area and country so long as they primarily focus on management or organization in education. Although our core areas of interest are organizational behaviour and management in education, we are also interested in leadership, public relation, human resource management, social issues in management, financial management, organizational development, critical management studies, etc. Authors are strongly encouraged to have their work reviewed and evaluated by their colleagues prior to submission for formal editorial review.

Abstract

This study aims to examine how madrasah principals enact leadership practices to foster professional work ethic among educational staff in Indonesian Islamic schools. Educational institutions are not only sites of knowledge transmission but also arenas for cultivating ethical conduct and professional discipline. In madrasah contexts, professional work ethic is inseparable from the moral legitimacy of institutions grounded in Islamic values. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Thematic analysis was used to interpret leadership practices within their organizational and cultural contexts. The findings show that values-based leadership, enacted through moral exemplarity and ethical modeling, is a primary driver of the formation of a professional work ethic. Participatory and relational leadership strengthens organizational commitment, trust, and work discipline by fostering psychological ownership and inclusive governance. Ethical norms are institutionalized through formal routines and informal socialization, enabling the reproduction of professional standards beyond direct supervision. Leadership influence operates at micro, meso, and macro levels through exemplarity, participation, and cultural embedding. These mechanisms jointly cultivate self-regulation, accountability, and service orientation. This study contributes an integrative, culturally grounded framework for ethical leadership in faith-based education and recommends leadership development programs that emphasize ethical embodiment, participatory governance, and institutionalized routines.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar–Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) curriculum in the Arabic Language Education Program at Universitas Islam Negeri Sultan Maulana Hasanuddin Banten. The MBKM policy, introduced by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia, aims to strengthen graduate employability and institutional adaptability in the digital era. A qualitative case study design was employed. Participants were selected using purposive sampling targeting key academic stakeholders, followed by snowball sampling to identify additional informants. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. Trustworthiness was ensured through triangulation and member checking. The findings reveal five core implementation strategies: leadership commitment, stakeholder engagement, MBKM-oriented curriculum redesign, external partnerships, and internal quality assurance. The process unfolded in three phases: planning, execution, and monitoring. The study demonstrates that coherent governance and collaborative networks are critical enablers of MBKM adoption. These findings provide practical insights for Islamic higher education institutions implementing reforms based on outcome-based and experiential learning.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the extent to which principal management influences teachers’ pedagogical competence within a secondary school context. Employing a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 15 teachers through structured questionnaires measuring four dimensions of principal management (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling) and five indicators of pedagogical competence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality testing, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression in IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The findings reveal a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between principal management and teachers’ pedagogical competence (R = .745, R² = .555, p < .05), indicating that principal management explains 55.5% of the variance in pedagogical competence. The regression model (Ŷ = 48.98 + 0.59X) suggests that improvements in managerial practices are associated with meaningful gains in teachers’ instructional capacity. These results underscore the pivotal role of effective school leadership in enhancing instructional quality and highlight the importance of strengthening principals’ managerial and instructional leadership competencies to support sustainable teacher professional development.
