الملخص

This qualitative study examines how organizational commitment drives educational quality improvement at an Islamic junior high school in Batang Hari, Indonesia. Grounded in Meyer and Allen’s three-component model, findings from observations, interviews, and documentation reveal that strong affective and normative commitments—evidenced by staff loyalty, extended tenure (>15 years), and extra-role dedication—directly underpin the school’s “A” accreditation and multiple academic achievements. However, limited technological proficiency and conservative pedagogical practices constrain further innovation. School leadership addresses these gaps through persuasive strategies and professional learning communities (MGMP), demonstrating that commitment alone requires structured support to translate into sustained quality enhancement. The study contributes theoretically by contextualizing commitment frameworks within formal Islamic secondary education and practically by offering a leadership model that balances emotional loyalty with systematic capacity building. These insights provide actionable guidance for educational managers seeking to leverage human commitment for institutional excellence
