Strategy to Reduce the Level Turnover Intention (Study on Teaching and Administrative Staff at AL AZAM Elementary School, Semarang)

Abstract

Turnover intention is one of the serious challenges in human resource management within educational institutions, including elementary schools. A high tendency among educators and school staff to leave the institution may reduce the quality of educational services, and disrupt organizational stability. This study aims to analyze effective strategies to reduce the level of turnover intention among teaching and administrative personnel in elementary schools Al Azam in Semarang City. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation with teachers, school staff, and school management. The data analysis process included data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that effective strategies to reduce turnover intention include: creating a supportive and conducive work environment, providing emotional and spiritual support through religious activities, offering career development opportunities and training, and applying a fair performance-based reward system. Therefore, implementing holistic human resource management strategies based on Islamic principles can enhance a sense of belonging, increase work motivation, and reduce turnover intention. It is hoped that this study contributes to the development of educational management, particularly in maintaining a stable workforce to support sustainable quality improvement in education.
