Abstract

This study aims to examine how students’ character is formed through tauhid learning using Kitab As-Sa’adah. Employing a qualitative approach with a field research design, the study collected data through observations, interviews, and documentation involving teachers, school leaders, and students to gain an in-depth understanding of the learning process and value internalization. The findings indicate that tauhid learning is implemented systematically through structured stages and supported by diverse teaching methods, including lectures, discussions, and habituation practices. Internalization of tauhid values occurs through religious activities, teacher role modeling, and integration into daily behavior, fostering students’ religious, disciplined, and responsible character. Key supporting factors include a consistent religious program, an immersive learning environment, and active teacher involvement, whereas challenges arise from students’ difficulty with classical terminology, varied learning abilities, and external influences such as social and media exposure. The study highlights that tauhid-based instruction using Kitab As-Sa’adah effectively enhances both students’ understanding of faith and the holistic development of their character.

Abstract

The digital era has brought massive disruptions that require educational institutions to immediately reorient their management strategies in order to respond to increasingly complex global challenges. Rapid technological developments not only change learning methods but also create ambiguity in institutional governance when conventional patterns continue to be maintained. Through a qualitative literature review method, this study explores various scientific literatures and current policies to examine the paradigm shift from administrative management toward adaptive governance. The findings indicate that management strategies must urgently focus on strengthening visionary digital leadership and the flexibility of curriculum infrastructure capable of accommodating students’ personalized learning needs. In addition, improving educators’ digital pedagogical competence becomes a crucial pillar so that technology does not merely function as a tool, but as the core spirit of the learning process. This series of strategic reorientations forms the main foundation for educational institutions to transition toward collaborative and data-driven ecosystems. The courage to integrate technology holistically into organizational culture will determine the sustainability of educational quality, ensuring that institutions remain relevant, competitive, and capable of producing resilient generations amidst the uncertainties of a rapidly changing era.

Abstract

The development of information technology in the digital era makes educational information systems a strategic necessity to improve service quality, accelerate administrative processes, and support decision-making. Although EMIS has been implemented in madrasas, many users face obstacles such as limited digital competency and resistance to technological change, resulting in suboptimal user satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the influence of innovative leadership and IT competency on EMIS user satisfaction, with organizational transformation as a mediator. The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive survey design in Madrasas, involving 90 respondents through total sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires, observations, and document reviews, then analyzed using SEM-PLS to test direct and indirect relationships between variables. The results show that innovative leadership and IT competency play an important role in driving organizational transformation, which in turn increases EMIS user satisfaction. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating leadership, technical capabilities, and organizational transformation, and provides theoretical contributions to the development of a technology-based educational structural model and practical guidance for educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image and price perception on consumer purchase intention in the culinary MSME sector. A quantitative approach with descriptive and verificative methods was employed. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 126 consumers selected using purposive sampling. The analysis involved validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, and hypothesis testing. The findings indicate that brand image has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention (t = 5.565, p < 0.001), while price perception demonstrates a stronger positive influence (t = 7.423, p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both variables significantly affect purchase intention and explain 92% of its variance (F = 709.8; R² = 0.920). These results imply that strengthening brand credibility and implementing appropriate pricing strategies are essential for increasing consumer purchase intention and enhancing the competitiveness of culinary MSMEs.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how the interpersonal communication patterns of school principals contribute to enhancing organizational motivation among teachers. Specifically, it examines the forms of communication employed to address motivational challenges, the current condition of teacher motivation, and the factors influencing principal-teacher interactions. A descriptive qualitative approach with field research was employed, involving interviews, observations, and document analysis with principals, vice-principals, teachers, and education staff as informants. Data were analyzed through data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured using source, technique, and time triangulation. Findings indicate that principals implement interpersonal communication effectively through a combination of formal and informal channels that are open, dialogical, and supportive, fostering teacher motivation via clear direction, appreciation, active participation, and harmonious working relationships. Key supporting factors include open and egalitarian leadership, a conducive work environment, and a stable organizational climate. These results suggest that principal communication strategies are vital for promoting organizational motivation and cultivating a positive and collaborative school culture.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of cashless payment and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) on impulsive buying behavior and to examine the moderating role of self-control in the consumption of fast fashion products among Generation Z. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method through questionnaires distributed to university student respondents. The collected data were analyzed using statistical techniques to examine the relationships among variables and test the moderating effects. The findings reveal that both cashless payment and FoMO have a positive and significant effect on impulsive buying behavior. FoMO emerged as the most dominant factor influencing impulsive purchases, indicating that social pressure and the desire to follow trends have a stronger impact than technological convenience. Furthermore, self-control was unable to moderate the relationship between cashless payment and impulsive buying, but it significantly strengthened the relationship between FoMO and impulsive buying. These findings imply that social and psychological factors play a crucial role in shaping Generation Z’s consumer behavior in the fast fashion industry.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between lecturers’ service quality dimensions—assurance, tangibles, empathy, reliability, and responsiveness—and student retention in higher education. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 212 first-year, second-semester students selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a self-constructed questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed through descriptive statistics and Pearson Product-Moment correlation. The findings revealed that all dimensions of lecturers’ service quality were rated at a high level, with tangibles obtaining the highest mean score (4.05) and reliability the lowest (3.85). Student retention was also categorized as high (mean = 3.65). Furthermore, all service quality dimensions showed positive and significant relationships with student retention. Assurance (r = 0.453) and tangibles (r = 0.450) demonstrated the strongest relationships, followed by empathy (r = 0.337), reliability (r = 0.331), and responsiveness (r = 0.169). The study implies that higher education institutions should prioritize strengthening lecturers’ competence and professionalism while improving reliability in teaching practices to enhance student retention.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of firm age, proceeds, market return, and return on assets on IPO underpricing, as well as the moderating role of underwriter reputation. Grounded in signaling theory, information asymmetry theory, and behavioral finance theory, the study explains how company characteristics and market conditions influence investor perceptions and uncertainty before an initial public offering. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from company prospectuses and official economic sources. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), supported by descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests, and robustness testing to address potential heteroscedasticity issues. The findings reveal that firm age has no significant effect on underpricing, whereas proceeds, market return, and return on assets significantly influence underpricing. Furthermore, underwriter reputation is only able to moderate the relationship between firm age and underpricing, while it does not moderate the relationships between proceeds, market return, return on assets, and underpricing. These findings provide empirical implications for understanding the role of company fundamentals, market conditions, and underwriter credibility in shaping IPO underpricing behavior in the post-pandemic capital market environment.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating AI-based waste-sorting technology into entrepreneurship education to enhance students’ cognitive literacy and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental method using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest design involving 29 high school students. Data were collected through cognitive literacy tests, Likert-scale questionnaires, and observations of system performance. The findings indicate a substantial improvement in students’ cognitive literacy, with mean scores increasing from 38.62 in the pretest to 84.14 in the posttest, achieving an N-Gain score of 0.74 categorized as high. Students also demonstrated highly positive perceptions of the learning innovation, reflected in perceived usefulness (91.0%) and entrepreneurial interest (90.4%). Although the AI waste-sorting system achieved a classification accuracy of 63.8%, it effectively promoted students’ awareness of sustainable practices and encouraged entrepreneurial thinking related to environmental issues. The study implies that AI technology can function as a sociotechnical educational tool that transforms environmental challenges into innovation opportunities and supports the development of sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial competencies among students.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the management of teacher professional development in Islamic educational institutions to enhance teacher competence, pedagogical effectiveness, and institutional quality. Teacher professionalism is crucial for shaping learners’ knowledge, moral character, and ethical awareness, yet many development programs remain fragmented and misaligned with teachers’ actual needs. This research employs a qualitative, literature-based approach, synthesizing books, peer-reviewed articles, policy documents, and empirical studies to explore managerial strategies, implementation practices, and conceptual foundations of professional development. Findings indicate that structured professional development, characterized by needs-based planning, active learning, collaboration, coaching, and reflective practice, significantly enhances teachers’ pedagogical and technological competence. Integration of Islamic values strengthens teachers’ moral character, spiritual awareness, and role modeling, bridging ethical and instructional responsibilities. Moreover, effective development improves student outcomes and institutional competitiveness, positioning professional development as both a human resource and strategic investment. This study contributes a holistic management framework linking planning, supervision, evaluation, pedagogical improvement, and Islamic ethics, and recommends that policymakers and school leaders implement systematic, context-sensitive, and value-oriented professional development programs.
