DIGITALISASI MANAJEMEN ADMINISTRASI PESANTREN DALAM PERSPEKTIF EFISIENSI DAN AKUNTABILITAS

Abstract

The accelerating wave of digital transformation has created both opportunities and challenges for Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) in Indonesia, particularly in reforming their administrative management systems. Traditional pesantren, which have long relied on paper-based and manually operated administrative processes, are now increasingly pressured to adopt digital solutions to meet modern demands for efficiency, transparency, and accountability. This study aims to examine the conceptual foundations, implementation strategies, and institutional outcomes of digitalization in pesantren administrative management through the lens of efficiency and accountability. Employing a systematic library research methodology, this study analyzed peer-reviewed journal articles, authoritative management textbooks, and relevant policy documents published within the last five years. Findings indicate that digitalization significantly enhances administrative efficiency by reducing processing time, minimizing human error, and improving data accessibility. Furthermore, digital systems strengthen institutional accountability by enabling transparent financial reporting, traceable decision-making processes, and improved stakeholder communication. The study concludes by proposing a contextually grounded framework for sustainable digital transformation in pesantren administration.
