Determinants of Lecturer Performance Based on Catur Dharmaat Muhammadiyah Universities in East Java

This study aims to analyze the determinants of lecturers' performance based on Catur Dharma at Muhammadiyah Higher Education Institutions ‎‎(PTM) in East Java, by examining the influence of intellectual capital, leadership effectiveness, and organizational communication, with ‎organizational support as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach using a survey method was applied to 189 permanent lecturers from 16 ‎PTMs. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that all independent ‎variables significantly affect lecturer performance, with organizational communication being the most dominant factor. Organizational support ‎also showed a significant direct effect and acted as a moderator that strengthened the influence of leadership effectiveness and communication ‎on performance. However, it weakened the effect of intellectual capital. This study highlights the importance of synergy between individual ‎capacity, institutional support, and effective communication in improving lecturer performance and emphasizes the need to integrate Islamic and ‎Muhammadiyah values into a contextual performance evaluation system within PTMs‎.
