PERBANDINGAN GAYA KEPEMIMPINAN DEMOKRATIS, OTORITER, DAN LAISSEZ-FAIRE DALAM PENGELOLAAN KOPERASI MADRASAH BERBASIS KEPEMIMPINAN MENDIDIK
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the comparison of democratic, authoritarian, and laissez-faire leadership styles in the management of madrasa cooperatives based on educative leadership. Madrasa cooperatives function not only as business units but also as educational media that contribute to the development of students’ character, responsibility, and entrepreneurial skills. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a literature study method by analyzing relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that democratic leadership is the most effective style in madrasa cooperatives, as it enhances participation, collaboration, and the internalization of Islamic educational values such as deliberation (musyawarah), trustworthiness (amanah), and responsibility. Authoritarian leadership is effective in certain conditions by promoting discipline and decisiveness, but it tends to limit students’ creativity. Meanwhile, laissez-faire leadership provides autonomy that fosters independence and innovation, yet it risks a lack of control without proper supervision. Therefore, educative leadership in madrasa cooperatives should be applied situationally by integrating these leadership styles proportionally to achieve both educational goals and organizational effectiveness.
