Abstract

This study examines how guidance and counseling management planning is constructed in two Islamic boarding schools and how these distinct planning architectures shape santri’s Career Decision Self-Efficacy (CDSE). Employing a qualitative comparative multisite design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving school leaders, counselors, and students in two pesantren with contrasting management orientations. Data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model with triangulation and informant validation. Findings reveal two contrasting planning models. Ar-Raudhatul Hasanah applies a humanistic-based planning approach emphasizing relational support, emotional regulation, and self-appraisal, which primarily strengthens the self-appraisal and emotional coping dimensions of CDSE. Darul Mursyid employs a psychometric-based planning architecture grounded in IQ, talent–interest, and STIFIn assessments integrated with academic and career coaching, which mainly enhances goal selection and planning dimensions of CDSE. Interpreted through Bandura’s self-efficacy theory and Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), these qualitative findings demonstrate that CDSE is not merely an individual trait but is institutionally shaped through different counseling management ecosystems. The study contributes to counseling management and Islamic education by showing how alternative planning models within pesantren can produce distinct pathways for strengthening students’ career decision self-efficacy.
