The Effect of Social Skills on the Activity of the Student Organizations in the Islamic Universities

Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of social skills on participation in student organization activities within the Tazkia Islamic Institute. Through a quantitative survey approach, data was collected using questionnaires administered to students active in various campus organizations. Statistical analysis, specifically regression techniques, was used to identify the relationship between social skills and student organization activities. The results showed that social skills have a significant effect on participation in student organization activities. Students who have developed social skills tend to be more active and have a more substantial role in organizational activities on campus. This is due to their ability to communicate effectively, work together in teams, as well as resolve conflicts constructively - important factors in shaping organizational success. The implication of this study confirms the importance of developing social skills among university students to improve the effectiveness and quality of campus organizational activities. Therefore, Islamic educational institutions are expected to design training programs that focus on improving social skills to support the development of more productive and impactful student organization activities. This research presents a new contribution by exploring the impact of social skills on students’ organizational activities in an Islamic university environment, specifically the Tazkia Islamic Institute, which has not been specifically focused on the context of Islamic education.
