PENGARUH KETERLIBATAN KOMITE SEKOLAH TERHADAP KUALITAS KEPUTUSAN MANAJERIAL DI SEKOLAH MENENGAH SWASTA KECAMATAN BOJONGLOA KIDUL, KOTA BANDUNG

This study was motivated by the potential for agency problems in education

management. The objective of this study was to analyze in depth the influence of

school committee involvement on the quality of managerial decisions. This study

used a quantitative approach with a correlational survey method. The research

population includes school principals, teachers, and school committee members in

private junior high schools (SMP) in Bojongloa Kidul District, Bandung City, with a

purposive sampling technique used. The research results indicate a strong

positive correlation between school committee involvement and the quality of

managerial decisions, with a correlation coefficient of r=0.60. In more detail, school

committee involvement was found to have a positive and significant influence on

improving budget transparency and accountability (regression coefficient B=0.45),

reducing information asymmetry (B=0.52), and aligning goal incongruence

(B=0.38). In addition, this study also identified that support from the Education

Office acted as a positive and significant moderating variable, which means that

this support strengthened the relationship between school committee involvement

and the quality of managerial decisions. In conclusion, active involvement of the

school committee is effective in reducing agency problems and directly improves

the quality of managerial decisions in schools. However, the effectiveness of the

school committee's role is greatly influenced by the presence of systemic support

from the Education Office.
