The phenomena in the field show that the supervisors of PAI have not internalized the attitude and behavior of istikamah when acting as the supervisors, stimulators, and motivators in supervising, guiding, and improving the performance of PAI teachers. The study was carried out in a qualitative approach utilizing a descriptive design.
