Background: The integration between business and Spirituality in pesantren is a multifaceted approach that aims to achieve economic independence while maintaining religious and ethical values. Nevertheless, integrating business activities with spiritual values in pesantren remains a challenge, particularly in maintaining the sustainability and success of the managed business units. Islamic boarding schools possess significant potential to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset, yet the primary challenge lies in interpreting and applying spiritual principles within a business framework. This includes identifying suitable spiritual guidelines and establishing strategies for their consistent implementation. Therefore, a stronger spiritual foundation is needed in management practices to create a more sustainable business model.
Aims: This research aims to identify the key factors supporting business independence at Al-Ittifaq Bandung Islamic Boarding School.
Research Method: This study employs an exploratory research method, utilizing a phenomenological framework. Data were collected from nine respondents using interviews and observations, while the analysis was conducted utilizing NVivo 15 software.
Results and Conclusion: The success of Bandung's Al Ittifaq Islamic Boarding School in achieving independence is driven by five key factors: market access, networking, resource management, financial management, and organizational culture, all of which are rooted in spiritual values.
Contribution: This research has implications for both research theory and practice. The impact of the theory is to add insight into the relationship between business success factors by adding other supporting factors such as the principles of DUIT, 3J, and pesantren values. The government can feel the impact of the practice, pesantren managers, and other pesantren, as well as serve as a reference for future researchers.
