The Importance of Good University Governance: Influenced by Identity Strength and Islamic Work Ethics

Abstract

The implementation of Good University Governance (GUG) is expected to create excellent service, especially in academic services because GUG creates a system of checks and balances. Identity strength also has an impact on the organization in carrying out daily tasks which then be able to produce graduates as desired. The aim of this research is to understand the influence of Islamic work ethics and identity strength on GUG. This research is explanatory research and uses quantitative research using regression statistical tools with the Sobel test which was previously tested for validity, reliability, and classical assumptions with a sample of 162 respondents. The research results reveal that identity strength has a significant effect on GUG. Likewise, Islamic work ethics also has a significant influence on GUG. However, identity strength does not have a significant effect on Islamic work ethics. If studied based the iceberg model effectively captures the complexity of organizational culture by highlighting both the visible and invisible elements so that it could cause it to not affect Islamic work ethics. It can be concluded that even though the university studied already has an Islamic ideology, it has not been able to influence Islamic work ethics, so it can be concluded that Islamic work ethics is not able to mediate the influence of identity strength on GUG.
