Keywords:
Oganizational Commitment; Job Satisfaction; Lecturer PerformanceAbstract
This study examines the influence of organizational commitment on lecturer performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at GICI School of Economics, Depok – Indonesia. The research is motivated by the challenge faced by higher education institutions in maintaining optimal lecturer performance amid increasing academic demands, institutional competition, and performance-based evaluation systems. The main objective of this study is to analyze the direct effect of organizational commitment on lecturer performance, the effect of organizational commitment on job satisfaction, and the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between organizational commitment and lecturer performance. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed, and data were collected from 100 permanent lecturers using structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The results reveal that organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on both lecturer performance and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction also has a positive and significant effect on lecturer performance and partially mediates the relationship between organizational commitment and lecturer performance. The structural model demonstrates strong explanatory power, with organizational commitment and job satisfaction jointly explaining 87.5% of the variance in lecturer performance. This study contributes theoretically to the organizational behavior and organization development literature in the higher education context and provides practical implications for higher education institutions in formulating strategies to enhance sustainable lecturer performance through strengthened organizational commitment and job satisfaction.
