Implementation of Islamic Leadership Management in Enhancing the Islamic Work Ethic of Employees at KSPPS Nuri Besuki Situbondo

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of Islamic leadership management in enhancing the Islamic work ethic of employees at KSPPS Nuri Besuki-Situbondo. Islamic leadership emphasizes religious values, such as honesty, responsibility, trustworthiness, and justice, in organizational management, thereby motivating employees to perform optimally in accordance with Islamic principles. This study aims to describe the implementation of Islamic leadership in enhancing employees’ Islamic work ethic and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This study employs a qualitative research method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that KSPPS Nuri Besuki-Situbondo has implemented Islamic leadership management based on the principles of honesty, trustworthiness, justice, and tabligh (effective communication). Employees’ Islamic work ethic is reflected in respect for time, honesty, discipline, responsibility, istiqamah (steadfastness), and commitment. Supporting factors include religious values, organizational culture, and development programs, such as Islamic finance training and Islamic work motivation. Meanwhile, a major inhibiting factor is the high workload, which causes some employees to become more results-oriented and pay less attention to work processes consistent with Islamic principles. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening continuous supervision and employee development to ensure the consistent implementation of Islamic values.
