The Influence of Female Leadership and Organizational Culture on the Quality of Education at STAI Al Utsmani Bondowoso

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of female leadership and organizational culture on the quality of higher education in Bondowoso Regency, East Java. This study employs a quantitative design using a survey procedure, distributing questionnaires to participants selected through stratified random sampling. Instrument validity was examined using Pearson’s correlation, while reliability was assessed via Cronbach’s Alpha; model suitability was evaluated through tests for normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. Data were processed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that female leadership has a significant effect on educational quality (t = 3.468; Sig. = 0.001; β = 0.392), as does organizational culture (t = 3.530; Sig. = 0.001; β = 0.420). Together, these two variables have a significant effect (F = 40.873; Sig. = 0.000) with a 49.6% contribution (R² = 0.496). These results emphasize that value-oriented female leadership and a strong organizational culture are strategic factors in improving the quality of education. The implications of this study offer a theoretical contribution through the formulation of the Leadership Harmony Model, which is viewed as the integration of leadership values and organizational systems in strengthening institutional quality.
