Abstract

This research aims to study the impact between variables and test the impact of academic atmosphere variables, which are thought to moderate individual characteristics, locus of control, and competence variables on lecturer performance. Therefore, Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a moderating relationship is used to measure Moderated Structural Equation Modeling (MSEM). The novelty in this research is to combine attribution theory and planned behavior theory by placing academic atmosphere as a moderating variable. We modified the academic atmosphere as a moderating variable. The main findings of this research are that the academic atmosphere strengthens the influence of individual characteristics on lecturer performance. An excellent academic atmosphere can motivate lecturers so that their characteristics can be maximized to improve performance. The academic atmosphere strengthens the influence of lecturer competence on lecturer performance. Availability of academic facilities and infrastructure, quality and quantity of interaction of academic activities, academic atmosphere development, and scientific personality development will motivate lecturers. So that the competencies possessed can be maximized to achieve increased performance. However, the academic atmosphere does not moderate the influence of locus of control on the lecturer’s performance in private universities. These findings can be a reference for private universities to increase the lecturer’s performance. For lecturers, it is expected to motivate improving competence, strengthening locus of control, and personal characteristics. Keywords: academic atmosphere, locus of control, competence, individual characteristics, SEM, MSEM DOI: 10.7176/JESD/13-20-05 Publication date: October 31 st 2022
