Manajemen Kepala Madrasah, Mutu Madrasah, POAC, Total Quality Management, Madrasah Berbasis YayasanAbstract
Mutu madrasah swasta berbasis yayasan bergantung pada kesinambungan perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengawasan, dan tindakan perbaikan. Penelitian terdahulu umumnya membahas kepemimpinan, supervisi, atau manajemen mutu secara terpisah, sehingga belum menjelaskan mengapa program yang tersedia tidak selalu menghasilkan perbaikan terukur ketika kewenangan dibagi dengan yayasan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan manajemen kepala madrasah dalam meningkatkan mutu MA Madinatul Ulum, Jenggawah, Jember. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus tunggal holistik. Data dikumpulkan pada Juni sampai Agustus 2026 melalui wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan 14 informan, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara interaktif dengan kerangka POAC, Total Quality Management, dan Juran Trilogy. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perencanaan belum konsisten mengubah data yang tersebar menjadi prioritas terukur, pelaksanaan masih bergantung pada sejumlah staf aktif, supervisi sering menghasilkan umpan balik tanpa tindak lanjut yang terverifikasi, dan keputusan strategis memerlukan koordinasi dengan yayasan. Secara teoretis, ketiga kerangka tersebut saling melengkapi ketika bukti diterjemahkan menjadi target, tanggung jawab, pendampingan, pemeriksaan hasil, dan tindakan korektif. Secara praktis, madrasah dan yayasan perlu memperjelas batas kewenangan serta menetapkan indikator yang dapat diverifikasi. Temuan bersifat kontekstual pada satu kasus dan tidak dimaksudkan untuk generalisasi statistik.
