Abstract
This research aimed to present a review of the literature on approaches to promoting an organizational culture of Ukhuwwah and to examine the roles of administrators in fostering such a culture within private Islamic schools in Pattani Province. A qualitative research design was employed, collecting and analyzing data from both documentary sources and key informants. Six school administrators were purposively selected based on predetermined criteria. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and observation and subsequently analyzed using content analysis guided by the five core components of Ukhuwwah. The document analysis revealed four principal approaches to promoting an organizational culture of Ukhuwwah: 1) developing administrators’ personal qualities, 2) strengthening organizational systems, 3) enhancing activities and cultural practices, and 4) integrating technology with Ukhuwwah principles. The interview findings further indicated that administrators demonstrated diverse roles in promoting Ukhuwwah across all five dimensions, with emphasis on role modeling, establishing communication channels, and organizing relationship-building activities. Nonetheless, gaps were identified in resource management, the use of technology, and the development of cross-cultural understanding.The study contributes to proposing practical approaches for cultivating an organizational culture of Ukhuwwah that is aligned with the specific context of private Islamic schools in Pattani Province.
