THE INFLUENCE OF QUALITY OF WORK LIFE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE ON LECTURERS' PROFESSIONAL COMMITMENT
Abstract
The variation in lecturers' commitment is the central issue addressed in this research. Based on the result of a preliminary study and data from the personal department. This fact is evidenced by the suboptimal performance of over 50% of permanent lecturers registered under the foundation fulfilling the three pillars of higher education. This study aims to analyze how the quality of work-life influences fluctuations in lecturers' professional commitment and how organizational culture also affects the level of commitment among tenure-track lecturers at Pamulang University. The quantitative research method uses data analysis through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and SITOREM analysis. The instruments used include questionnaires and expert judgment assessment sheets for SITOREM analysis. Upon data analysis, the following results were obtained: 1) the quality of work life significantly influences lecturers' professional commitment; 2) the organizational culture affects lecturers' professional commitment; 3) there is a simultaneous influence of both the quality of work life and organizational culture on lecturers' commitment to their profession. Based on the research findings, organizational culture, which constitutes a component of the organizational mechanism, exerts a direct influence on professional commitment, which is part of individual outcome theory, without necessitating passage through the variables encompassed within the individual mechanism. The implication of this study suggests that the professional commitment of lecturers can be further enhanced through the reinforcement of work-life quality and organizational culture.
