Lecturer's Performance: The Effect of Leadership Communication, Organizational Culture and Achievement Motivation by Mediating Variables

Many aspects, such as leadership communication, organizational culture, and, of course, performance, can improve motivation. The goal of this study was to examine the impact of leadership communication and organizational culture on lecturer performance through achievement motivation in tertiary institutions in East Java
that administer Islamic boarding schools. This is an
explanatory study that use quantitative methodologies. The
research data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 146 lecturers and analyzed using Structural Equation
Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the SmartPLS 3.0 application. The path analysis results reveal that
leadership communication and organizational culture have a
direct and substantial effect on lecturer achievement
motivation, and that organizational culture and achievement
motivation have a direct and significant effect on lecturer
performance. In the meanwhile, leadership communication
has no direct effect on lecturer performance. The indirect test results also suggest that leadership communication has little effect on lecturer performance through motivation. Similarly,organizational culture has no influence on lecturer performance through achievement motivation. According to the research findings, tertiary institutions' attempts to improve lecturer performance must pay attention to organizational culture and increase lecturer success
motivation in order to fully support them in carrying out their operations.
