The Relationship Between Islamic Leadership and Job Satisfaction Towards Human Resource Performance Through Motivation as a Mediation Variable in Islamic Boarding School Business Units Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Makassar
Abstract
All activities undertaken to improve an organization's business are demonstrated through efforts to generate performance. Performance is a reflection of the level of achievement of an activity/policy program in realizing the organization's goals, objectives, mission, and vision as outlined in the formulation of an organization's strategic scheme. Good performance is optimal performance, namely performance that meets organizational standards and supports the achievement of organizational goals. Improving employee performance will bring progress to the organization. Therefore, efforts to improve employee performance are the most serious challenge because the success in achieving goals and the survival of the company depend on the quality of the performance of its human resources. Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Islamic Boarding School, Gombara, Makassar is the main educational institution for Muhammadiyah cadres in South Sulawesi. Located in Gombara, this Islamic boarding school focuses on developing Tarjih, language, tahsin Al-Qur'an, and soft skills with a combination of the Ministry of Religion curriculum. Islamic boarding school business units play a strategic role in supporting the operational sustainability of Islamic educational institutions, including enhancing their economic independence. The success of Islamic boarding school business units depends heavily on the quality of the human resources (HR) that manage them. HR performance is a key factor in ensuring that Islamic boarding school business units operate effectively, efficiently, and competitively. Performance reflects human capabilities and efforts in achieving targets and completing tasks according to expected standards. Within an organization, performance needs to be considered to ensure that available resources are optimally utilized, thereby achieving organizational goals, both individually and collectively. Based on the author's initial observations, performance issues remain a major challenge at the Darul Arqam Muhammadiyah Makassar Islamic Boarding School Business Unit.
