Abstract: Determinant Factors of Lecturers’ Roles in Quality Assurance in Higher
Education. This study aims to (1) find out an empirically tested model of
determinant factors of lecturers’ roles in quality assurance in higher education, and
(2) investigate contributions of leadership, organization culture, lecturers’
competence, and achievement motivation as individual variables and an aggregate
to lecturers’ roles in quality assurance. The sample consisted of 206 lecturers of
private universities in the area of Surakarta, selected by the proportional random
technique. The data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed by the
SEM technique. The results show that, first, the goodness of fit exists between the
conceptual model and the empirically tested model (p-value 0.34 > 0.05 and
RMSEA 0.01 < 0.05); second, the contributions of leadership, organization culture,
lecturers’ competence, and achievement motivation to quality assurance are,
respectively, 28.09%, 50.41%, 8.41%, and 5.29%; third, the contribution of the
variables as an aggregate is 95%. This implies that to improve lecturers’ roles in
quality assurance in higher education, it is necessary to develop visionary
leadership, firm organization culture, competent lecturers’ support, and high
achievement motivation.
