Abstract

Kepemimpinan mahasiswa merupakan salhh satu kompetensi yang perlu dibentuk melalui organisasi kemahasiswaan. Resimen Mahasiswa (Menwa) Universitas Mataram menjadi salah satu wadah strategis dalam upaya pembinaan karakter kepemimpinan berbasis kedisiplinan dan tanggung jawab. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan strategi pembinaan karakter kepemimpinan yang diterapkan di Menwa Unram. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Informan penelitian ini terdiri dari pengurus organisasi dan senior alumni. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat empat strategi utama dalam pembinaan karakter kepemimpinan yaitu: pembinaan mental dan fisik, peningkatan kemampuan komunikasi, latihan kepemimpinan melalui pendelegasian tugas, serta penanaman nilai disiplin. Faktor pendukung mencakup dukungan institusional, peran aktif senior dan alumni, serta ketersediaan fasilitas organisasi. Adapun faktor hambtan yang dihadapi meliputi rendahnya partisipasi anggota aktif serta benturan jadwal kegiatan dengan jadwal kuliah. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pembinaan karakter kepemimpinan di Menwa Unram bersifat kontekstual dan berbasis pengalaman langsung yang berperan dalam membentuk kader pemimpin mahasiswa yang berintegritas, tangguh, dan bertanggung jawab.
