Abstract

Al Islam and Kemuhamamdiyahan (AIK) are characteristic of all Muhamamdiyah Universities. AIK is implemented in all lecturer performances written in the chess dharma of higher education: education, research, service, and AIK. Of the 286 lecturers, not all of them necessarily have a Muhammadiyah background. Even though universities require all academic activities to incorporate Islamic values, not all academics can implement AIK as a driving force for lecturer performance. Therefore, lecturers must have a strategy to understand and enforce AIK in their performance. This research aims to explore lecturers' understanding of AIK and how to implement AIK as a driving force for lecturers' performance. This research uses a qualitative phenomenological approach. To obtain data in the field using interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Data analysis uses source triangulation. This research shows that AIK is implemented in all lecturer performance, such as teaching, research, service, behavior, and interaction with the broader community. The strategy implemented is that lecturers are encouraged to actively participate in activities to increase understanding of AIK through recitations at branches, branches, and regional centers and taking part in Baitul Arqom Lecturers. Lecturer performance evaluation is carried out every semester. AIK is the primary determinant and includes the highest score for lecturer performance achievements besides education, research, and service.
