Optimizing Human Resource Management in the Face of Lecturers' Administrative Burden: Implications for Teaching Quality at IAIN Curup

Abstract

Although the issue of lecturers' administrative workload has been widely discussed, there is still limited research that directly examines its impact within the context of Islamic higher education institutions. This study aims to explore the influence of administrative workload on the teaching quality of lecturers at IAIN Curup, with a focus on optimizing human resource management to improve teaching effectiveness. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative data from in-depth interviews with lecturers and administrators, and quantitative data collected through a survey of 50 lecturers at IAIN Curup. The qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while the quantitative data were analyzed using simple regression techniques. The findings indicate that excessive administrative duties disrupt lecturers' concentration during the teaching process, negatively impact teaching quality, and reduce time management efficiency. Based on these findings, the study recommends a more balanced distribution of administrative tasks, the use of digital technology for streamlining administrative processes, and stronger institutional support in human resource management.
