Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis upaya kepala madrasah dalam meningkatkan employee engagement guru Madrasah Tsanawiyah di Kabupaten Nagan Raya, Aceh. Penelitian dilatarbelakangi rendahnya keterikatan kerja guru pada dimensi semangat, dedikasi, dan penghayatan, serta terbatasnya kajian mengenai pengalaman kepemimpinan kepala madrasah. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif fenomenologis di MTsS Al-Quddus, MTsN 1 Nagan Raya, dan MTsN 2 Nagan Raya. Informan meliputi dua belas informan kunci yang terdiri atas kepala madrasah dan wakil kepala madrasah bidang kurikulum, kesiswaan, serta hubungan masyarakat, disertai tiga ketua OSIM sebagai informan pendukung. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi awal, dan studi dokumen. Keabsahan data diperiksa melalui triangulasi sumber dan teknik, sedangkan analisis dilakukan secara tematik berdasarkan teori Leader-Member Exchange. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi enam upaya utama, meliputi komunikasi terbuka, motivasi dan dukungan, apresiasi, pengembangan profesional, pelibatan guru dalam pengambilan keputusan, serta penciptaan iklim kerja kondusif. Pelaksanaannya dilakukan secara berjenjang melalui wakil kepala madrasah. Upaya tersebut memperkuat kedisiplinan, partisipasi, dan kerja sama guru, meskipun kreativitas pedagogik masih memerlukan peningkatan.
