Abstract
The optimization of Islamic higher education governance plays a significant role in ensuring the quality of higher education while strengthening its contribution to society and the economy. One of the key aspects of optimizing governance is the development of human resources. This study aims to explore efforts to optimize the governance of Islamic Private Religious Higher Education Institutions (PTKIS) through human resource development. The research employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, where data is collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using a phenomenological framework. The findings of this study highlight effective HRM strategies to enhance the governance of PTKIS, including (1) analyzing HR needs as the initial step to identify the competencies and skills required to support the vision and mission of PTKIS, (2) planning and developing HR being pivotal in designing development programs such as training, courses, and workshops to enhance the competencies and knowledge of HR, (3) a selective recruitment process aligned with Islamic values is essential to ensure the alignment of HR with PTKIS principles, (4) regular performance assessment and evaluation help measure HR achievements and provide constructive feedback, (5) clear career planning and recognition, along with incentives based on HR contributions, are effective strategies to maintain and motivate HR, (6) implementing a rolling job position system and utilizing information technology support HR management's flexibility and efficiency, (7) involving HR in decision-making and engaging them in organizational policies enhance their sense of ownership and commitment to PTKIS. PTKIS can maximize the potential of its HR, enhance the quality of religious education, and achieve institutional goals in line with Islamic values and ethics.
