Abstract

Digital transformation in Islamic education requires educational institutions not only to develop adequate information systems but also to strengthen human capacity to utilize data for effective decision-making. This study aims to examine the effects of Data Literacy and Management Information Systems on Decision-Making Effectiveness in Islamic education management. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, involving 78 respondents. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The findings demonstrate that Data Literacy has a strong and statistically significant positive effect on Decision-Making Effectiveness (β = 0.905; t = 26.460; p < 0.001). In contrast, Management Information Systems do not have a significant direct effect on Decision-Making Effectiveness (β = 0.010; t = 0.328; p = 0.744). The model explains 91.1% of the variance in decision-making effectiveness (R² = 0.911). These findings indicate that effective data-driven management is not determined solely by the availability of technological infrastructure but is more strongly dependent on th ability of individuals to understand, evaluate, interpret, and utilize data as a basis for managerial decisions. The study highlights data literacy as a strategic capability in advancing digital transformation within Islamic education management. The findings further suggest that educational institutions need to integrate information-system development with data literacy enhancement and the cultivation of an evidence-based decision-making culture.
