Abstract

This study examines the effect of human resource management (HRM) strategy on the quality of education at PDF Ulya Al Fithrah Surabaya, an Islamic boarding school-based educational institution. A quantitative explanatory survey was employed involving 118 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, t-test, F-test, coefficient of determination, and classical assumption tests with SPSS version 29. The findings indicate that HRM strategy, including human resource planning, recruitment, professional development, performance evaluation, motivation, and compensation, was implemented at a high level. Educational quality was also categorized as high, reflected in improved instructional quality, teacher competence, student achievement, learning discipline, and stakeholder satisfaction. Regression analysis revealed that HRM strategy has a positive and significant effect on educational quality (β = 0.711; p < 0.001), explaining 65.5% of the variance (R² = 0.655). This study contributes to the Strategic Human Resource Management literature by providing empirical evidence that integrated HRM practices are essential for improving the quality and sustainability of Islamic boarding school education.
