ABSTRAK
Dalam skripsi, penelitian terhadap novel Tuan Direktur merupakan jenis penelitian sosiologi sastra yang bertujuan menjelaskan hubungan saling memengaruhi antara Islam (ideologi Hamka), Surabaya pada permulaan abad 20 (masyarakat), dengan konsep kekayaan dalam novel Tuan Direktur (karya). Metode yang digunakan adalah deskriptif analisis, yaitu mendeskripsikan terlebih dahulu tokoh dan latar. Tokoh dibicarakan untuk mendeskripsikan konsep kekayaan melalui tokoh sentral. Latar dibicarakan untuk mendeskripsikan situasi baik secara fisik maupun sosial. Selanjutnya, deskripsi konsep kekayaan melalui tokoh sentral dan situasi fisik dan sosial melalui latar dianalisis secara sosiologis. Hasil analisis sosiologis menunjukkan bahwa konsep kekayaan tokoh sentral sangat dipengaruhi Islam dan latar fisik dan sosial juga dipengaruhi situasi Surabaya pada permulaan abad 20. Namun, latar fisik yang ditampilkan Hamka bukan deskripsi fisik Surabaya yang khas, melainkan deskripsi fisik Surabaya secara umum. Selain itu, deskripsi sosial masyarakat Surabaya pun tidak tampil melalui sistem hidup tokoh. Dengan demikian, dapat dikatakan, aspek Islam lebih dominan memengaruhi karya daripada aspek sosial.
