DAMPAK TEKNIK REKRUTMEN TERHADAP KUALITAS GURU DI SEKOLAH PEDESAAN

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of recruitment techniques on teacher quality at Biroyatul Huda Private School in Cilongok, a rural area. A qualitative approach was employed to understand the recruitment process, which includes stages such as using social media for job announcements and selecting candidates based on academic qualifications and personal characteristics. The findings indicate that recruitment methods relying on personal networks and limited information negatively affect teacher quality. Many teachers join rural private schools not out of long-term commitment but due to a lack of available options, leading to low dedication and teaching quality, as some view their roles as temporary alternatives. Economic factors are the primary motivation, resulting in high teacher turnover and dissatisfaction with salaries and professional development opportunities. This research recommends the development of a more structured and holistic recruitment system to enhance educational quality in rural schools.
