Fleksibilitas Kognitif, Berpikir Divergen, Sumber Daya InsaniAbstract
Penelitian ini menguji hubungan fleksibilitas kognitif dengan kemampuan berpikir divergen mahasiswa Pendidikan Agama Islam serta relevansinya bagi pengembangan Sumber Daya Insani (SDI) dalam ekonomi syariah. Penelitian menggunakan desain kuantitatif korelasional terhadap 135 mahasiswa semester VI angkatan 2022 Universitas Islam Riau yang dipilih melalui proportionate stratified random sampling dari populasi 154 mahasiswa. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket laporan diri yang terdiri atas 27 butir fleksibilitas kognitif dan 39 butir berpikir divergen. Koefisien Cronbach’s alpha yang dilaporkan masing-masing sebesar 0,969 dan 0,972. Output regresi menunjukkan hubungan positif (R = 0,863; R² = 0,745; B = 1,193; p < 0,001). Namun, uji deviasi dari linearitas signifikan (p = 0,001), sehingga spesifikasi model linear perlu diperiksa kembali dan koefisiennya belum layak ditafsirkan sebagai bukti definitif hubungan linear. Penelitian ini tidak mengukur kinerja pegawai atau inovasi organisasi secara langsung. Kontribusinya terletak pada pemetaan awal kompetensi kognitif calon tenaga profesional serta perumusan implikasi pengembangan SDI yang memadukan kemampuan adaptif, pengembangan gagasan, kompetensi teknis, dan etika Islam.
