Keywords:
HR Management, Leadership, Islamic Junior High SchoolAbstract
Student leadership-based HR management at Al Mujaddid Islamic Junior High School, Randudongkal, departs from the Basic Student Leadership Training program. This program is designed with a participatory approach, where students are involved in organisational simulation, decision-making, and school activity management (LDKS). The main objective of this study is to identify student leadership-based HR management strategies through LDKS at Al Mujaddid Islamic Junior High School. And analyse the impact of LDKS on student leadership, communication, and cooperation skills. This study uses a descriptive-analytical qualitative design with a case study approach. The research population is all components of Al Mujaddid Randudongkal Islamic Junior High School, including LDKS participating students, supervisory teachers, and student council administrators. Research found that LDKS at Al Mujaddid Islamic Junior High School was able to improve students' leadership, communication, and cooperation skills. Data shows an increase in student active participation in school organisations from 40% to 68% in the period 2023–2025. LDKS has proven to be effective as a student leadership-based HR management strategy with a real impact on improving confidence and social skills. The program also strengthens the school's social capital through increased student participation in the organisation. This research contributes to expanding the literature on human resource management in Islamic schools, especially by placing LDKS as a student leadership laboratory. This model can serve as a reference for other schools to integrate leadership education in HR development strategies.
