Abstract

Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia have a unique management system, which makes the top religious leaders different from the secular school system where principals tend to have no authority to decide on school policies. Based on this, the present study aims to analyze the ultimate role of religious leaders in determining the aspects of school management. Especially, the role of religion on teachers, facility, system and students’ achievement in a school. For a better examination of the religious leader’s role, a study was conducted in an Islamic Boarding School found within the East Java Province in Indonesia. The relationship among independent variables and dependent variables were analyzed using a correlation path model. Structural formulation of the correlation path model was built using the variance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) which is well-known as a Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. PLS has three major advantages over other SEM techniques that makes it well suited to this study. Statistically, a religious leader has a positive and significant influence on the relationship between teachers, school facility, school system and the students’ achievement. However, surprisingly, the school facility does not have a positive neither significant effect on the student’s achievement.
