AB  - This research explored the process of
leadership succession in a pesantren community and the
associated organizational framework which is based on
achieving an internal consensus to prevent a chaotic
succession process. The research location was Akhlakul
Karimah Pesantren, Central Java Province which is an
important center of education for the pesantren
community. Primary and secondary data were collected
through in-depth interviews and observations and
secondary data analysis was performed. This research
covered the entire pesantren community including
caretakers, religious teachers and alumni. Spokespeople
for the pesantren community in various locations were the
data sources. The research was based on both etic and
emic approaches. The research’s result showed that
succession in the pesantren community is usually a
natural process; however, given the prestige associated
with the top “PPP4” leadership position, several vying
parties/factions emerged. There tended to be more internal
support for hereditary successors to the top leadership
position compared to their competitors. Personal charisma
was key to securing internal support. Conflict tends to
remain latent, any conflict that did occur was reduced by
internal consolidation and social consensus, achieved
through key figures in the community. This research
indicates the importance of shared solidarity to address
and solve internal community problems. The Pesantren’s
leadership can be used in educational institutions in which
based on traditional Islamic religion and needs to be
supportive of The Religious Educational Management.
The Pesantren’s leadership can enhance the significant
commitment of students and teachers as well as to reduce
stress and any other conflicts.
