Abstract

This study uses a qualitative-descriptive approach with a case study method. Primary data sources were obtained through literature studies from the Bible, and theological literature, and organizational management. The results of observation and analysis show that Moses' delegation system, as suggested by Imam Yitro, provides practical solutions to increasingly complex managerial problems. And is very helpful in forming an efficient organizational structure. The implications of this study lead to increased leadership effectiveness and organizational efficiency in the Kanafero Group. This study also presents theoretical contributions in the form of integration between theological principles and contemporary managerial practices, and provides practical guidance for Christian value-based companies in forming healthy organizational governance based on biblical values.
