Purpose: This study aims to analyze the strategies implemented by caregivers of the Salafiyah Baitul Qirom Islamic Boarding School in improving human resource management quality, particularly in developing the competence and professionalism of teachers and administrators.
Methodology: This study employed a qualitative research approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, consisting of Islamic boarding school caregivers as primary informants, along with administrators, ustadz/ustadzah, and students involved in development programs as supporting informants.
Results: The findings reveal that caregivers implemented several strategies to strengthen human resources, including continuous teacher training, improvement of facilities and infrastructure, recruitment of external educators, educational study tours, religious pilgrimages, teacher accommodation support, and financial assistance for teachers pursuing undergraduate education.
Conclusions: The strategies applied demonstrate a comprehensive and sustainable approach to developing professional, competent, and character-based human resources while maintaining Islamic boarding school values and educational tradition.
Limitations: This study focuses on one Islamic boarding school, limiting the generalizability of findings to other educational institutions with different management systems and organizational contexts.
Contributions: This research contributes practical insights into human resource development strategies for Islamic boarding schools by highlighting the importance of competency development, institutional support, and sustainable management practices in strengthening educational quality and organizational effectiveness.
