Using a qualitative research design, this study seeks to develop a comprehensive model that integrates these elements, mediated by students' personal experiences, to enhance moral and ethical growth. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation across three pesantren in Indonesia, involving a total of 30-40 participants, including santri and educators. Thematic analysis revealed that ethical leadership significantly influences students' behavior and moral decision-making, while value development fosters internalization of core ethical principles such as integrity, social responsibility, and empathy. Furthermore, character-based learning—embedded in daily practices, religious rituals, and communal activities—plays a crucial role in developing self-discipline and ethical behavior. Students' personal experiences, shaped by mentorship and community interactions, mediate these processes, further enhancing character formation. The study proposes a holistic model for character development in pesantren, emphasizing the interconnectedness of leadership, value development, and experiential learning. The findings offer theoretical, practical, and managerial implications for improving character education in Islamic educational settings, contributing to the global discourse on moral formation in educational contexts.</em></p> Syafaat Nuryadi Irwan Prayitno Dwi Ferdiyatmoko Cahya Kumoro Sukirman Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Social and Management Studies 2025-02-18 2025-02-18 6 1 15 23 10.5555/ijosmas.v6i1.463 https://ijosmas.org/index.php/ijosmas/article/view/464 <p><em>This study aims to investigate the effect of recruitment and e-government implementation on organizational performance in higher education institutions, with religiosity as a mediating variable. Amidst the dynamics of higher education institutions in Indonesia that face challenges to improve performance, this study uses a quantitative approach with data analysis through SmartPLS 4.0, based on an online survey of 1045 respondents selected by stratified random sampling. The findings show that transparent and competency-based recruitment, as well as the implementation of e-government, have a direct significant influence on improving organizational performance. In addition, religiosity is proven to function as a mediator that strengthens the relationship between recruitment and e-government on organizational performance. The results of this study indicate that the development of effective recruitment practices and the implementation of e-government can not only contribute directly to performance, but also indirectly through increased religiosity that extols the values of integrity, responsibility, and work ethics. The findings make theoretical contributions to the human resource management literature and excellent practices in the context of higher education, as well as offer practical recommendations for managers of educational institutions to integrate religious values in their management strategies.</em></p> Dwi Ferdiyatmoko Cahya Kumoro Maswanto Sukirman Syafaat Nuryadi Copyright (c) 2025 International Journal of Social and Management Studies 2025-02-18 2025-02-18 6 1 1 14 10.5555/ijosmas.v6i1.464
