School-Based Management and Institutional Performance in Public Junior High Schools
Keywords:

This study examines the relationship between school-based management (SBM) implementation and institutional performance in public junior high schools across Central Java, Indonesia. School-based management represents a decentralized approach to educational governance that transfers decision-making authority from central offices to individual schools. Through a comprehensive analysis of 240 public junior high schools, this research investigates how various dimensions of SBM—including participatory decision-making, financial autonomy, curriculum flexibility, and community engagement—influence institutional performance outcomes. The study employs a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys with qualitative case studies to provide nuanced insights into SBM effectiveness. Findings reveal that schools with higher levels of SBM implementation demonstrate significantly better institutional performance across multiple indicators, including student achievement, teacher satisfaction, and community involvement. However, the relationship is moderated by contextual factors such as principal leadership capacity, resource availability, and community socioeconomic status. The research contributes to understanding how decentralization policies can be optimized to enhance educational quality in developing country contexts, particularly within Indonesia's unique cultural and administrative landscape.
