Abstract

: Theoretically, according to Max Weber, this shows that it can be interpreted that the clerics and santri are fully aware of and understand the existence of rules regarding the implementation of health protocols in every activity at Islamic boarding schools, but values that are understood by individuals in absolute terms in the form of religious values and norms ultimately override protocol rules. health as a value and norm of government regulations during the Covid 19 pandemic situation. Likewise, community members around Islamic boarding schools when participating in activities at Islamic boarding schools carry out social actions of value rationality prioritizing religious values and norms by overriding health protocol rules when participating in activities at Islamic boarding schools However, when interacting outside the Islamic boarding school environment, they tend to absolutely follow the rules of the health protocol which are generally accepted values and norms in society during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results of this study confirm, reinforce or support Max Weber's theory of social action, especially the three types of social action found in this study, namely: (1) value rationality social action, (2) instrumental rationality social action, and (3) social action traditional. While the type of affective social action according to Max Weber's theory was not found in this study.
