A Systematic Literature Review on Lecturer Performance and the Influence Factors

Abstract

There were many discussions and studies carried out on several research results with the theme of lecturer performance. From 1970 to 2022, at least 2,414 Indonesian library titles were found and no less than 774,061 English library titles with this theme. This shows that lecturer performance is a riveting theme to be raised in research. Efforts to improve lecturer performance have been made through recommendations resulting from various studies by examining the influence exerted by independent variables on lecturer performance. However, measuring lecturer performance involves different dimensions. Several studies show inconsistencies in both dimensions and aspects involved in measuring each variable. This inconsistency makes policymakers faced with doubts about what should be done to improve lecturer performance. It is very important to examine in more depth the factors that influence effective and appropriate lecturer performance. The research design used a systematic review with the theme of lecturer performance and the factors that influence it, involving 2,414 articles searched by the National Digital Library. Using the PRISMA method, 35 articles were selected which continued to the synthesis stage. Data processing uses NVivo and Orange software. The research results show that in general the factors that influence lecturer performance are grouped into two types, namely: external factors and internal factors, the external factor that has a more dominant influence is organizational leadership. Meanwhile, the internal factors are work commitment, job satisfaction, and competence.
