Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of pesantren leadership on student conflicts at Pondok Pesantren Nurul Huda Cisompet Garut. Leadership in Islamic boarding schools plays an important role in creating harmonious social relations and maintaining the stability of the educational environment. Conflicts among students often arise due to differences in opinion, communication misunderstandings, social background differences, and seniority factors. This study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 83 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results showed that pesantren leadership has a significant effect on student conflicts, with a Pearson correlation value of 0.690 and a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Leadership contributed 47.6% to student conflict management, while the remaining percentage was influenced by other factors outside the study. Effective leadership was found to improve communication, strengthen social harmony, and reduce the potential for conflict among students. This study contributes to the development of social education studies, Islamic educational management, and conflict management in pesantren environments.
