Keywords:
Neo-Sufism, Post-Modern, StudentsAbstract
The post-modern era, characterized by rapid digitalization, moral relativism, and the fragmentation of values, has generated serious challenges for character formation among students in Islamic educational institutions. At the same time, contemporary educational leadership tends to prioritize managerial efficiency while neglecting the spiritual dimension that is essential for holistic character development. This study addresses the conceptual gap concerning the role of Neosufistic leadership in reconstructing student character within the framework of Islamic Educational Management. The purpose of this research is to systematically map and synthesize the concept, characteristics, core values, and relevance of Neosufistic leadership for student character reconstruction in the post-modern context. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using strict inclusion and exclusion criteria to analyze relevant books, journal articles, and scientific studies published in recent years. The data consist of primary and secondary literature related to Neosufism, leadership, character education, and post-modernity, which were examined through content analysis techniques. The findings reveal that Neosufistic leadership functions as an integrative spiritual-ethical paradigm that significantly influences the internalization of character values among students. It is grounded in values such as self-purification, sincerity, moral awareness, balance, and spiritual responsibility. The study concludes that Neosufistic leadership is not merely a complementary approach, but a strategic foundation for reconstructing student character in the moral-spiritual crisis of the post-modern era, and it offers a robust conceptual contribution to the development of Islamic Educational Management
