Entrepreneurship Culture Strategies in Shaping the Profile of Santripreneurs in Islamic Boarding Schools

Abstrak

Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) play a strategic role in developing human resources who possess not only religious competence but also entrepreneurial capabilities that foster students' economic independence. However, studies examining the process of cultivating entrepreneurial values within pesantren remain limited, particularly those focusing on entrepreneurship enculturation as a strategy for shaping the santripreneur profile. This study aims to analyze the entrepreneurship enculturation strategies implemented at Pondok Pesantren Puncak Darussalam Pamekasan in developing the santripreneur profile. This research employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, with data validity ensured through triangulation. The findings reveal that entrepreneurship enculturation is implemented through three main processes: the internalization of entrepreneurial values, socialization within the pesantren environment, and formal and non-formal learning. These processes cultivate honesty, discipline, responsibility, leadership, a strong work ethic, and Islamic business spirituality through curriculum integration, role modeling, peer interaction, and Market Day activities. Consequently, these strategies successfully develop a santripreneur profile characterized by independence, innovation, integrity, entrepreneurial competence, and adherence to Islamic business ethics. Therefore, entrepreneurship enculturation in pesantren serves as an effective strategy for fostering an entrepreneurial culture integrated with Islamic values.
