THE RELEVANCE OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION MANAGEMENT IN REALIZING GOOD GOVERNANCE UNIVERSITY AT STIT PRINGSEWU

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relevance of Islamic education management in realizing Good Governance University at STIT Pringsewu. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study explored data through in-depth interviews with the Chairman of STIT Pringsewu, Vice Chairman II, and Chairman of Quality Assurance, as well as observation and analysis of institutional documents. The results of the study show that the basic values of Islamic education management such as trust, deliberation, honesty, and responsibility have become the main foundation in institutional policies and governance. The implementation of administrative digitalization and increased financial transparency also strengthen management accountability and efficiency. In addition, the consistency of the implementation of the PPEPP cycle by LPM plays an important role in maintaining and improving academic quality in accordance with national higher education standards. The study also found that although the commitment of the leadership is very strong, there is still a gap in understanding governance in several implementing units. This research contributes to the development of Islamic education management theory by showing that the integration of Islamic values, transformational leadership, and a culture of sustainable quality is the key to achieving Good Governance University in Islamic universities.
