This study is grounded in the importance of student leadership development within educational institutions as a means of preparing responsible and capable future leaders. Student organizations, particularly Ikatan Pelajar Nahdlatul Ulama (IPNU) and Ikatan Pelajar Putri Nahdlatul Ulama (IPPNU), play a significant role in shaping leadership attitudes through active participation and character-building activities. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of organizational activeness in IPNU-IPPNU on students’ leadership attitudes at MTs Syarif Hidayatulloh Kemuning Kedamean Gresik. This research employs a quantitative approach using statistical analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation, with a total sampling technique applied to 70 students. The study analyzes the relationship between students’ level of participation in organizational activities and their leadership attitudes. The findings reveal that organizational activeness has a significant influence on students’ leadership attitudes. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows that 68.2% of leadership attitudes are affected by participation in IPNU-IPPNU, while 31.8% is influenced by other factors. The regression equation (Y = 5.653 + 0.791X) indicates that increased organizational involvement positively contributes to leadership development. Hypothesis testing further confirms a significant effect, as the calculated t-value exceeds the critical value. These results imply that active involvement in student organizations can effectively enhance leadership qualities, suggesting that schools should encourage student participation in such organizations to foster leadership skills and character development.
