Providing higher salary implies

to a larger pool of applicants, which permits a school t(
engagc in more selective hiring.

Teacher's performance is one of the most imponan
issues in education institutions [5]- It is believed tha
teacher performance in turn will determine student aft
organizational performance. In order to accomplish th(
national education philosophy, the teachers have to worl
hard and give full devotion towards their career- It ir
therefore not surprising that teachers nowadays iue moft

stressful due to their obligation towards nationa
education needs, school authorities and paren
expectations [6.].

Nevertheless, higher education system in Indonesi:
now is impeded by some systematic education problems
Students, parents, legislators, businesses and the genera
public are dissatisfied with the higher education that i:
currently being provided resulting from students an

unable to register for courses because sections are full
many courses are taught not by faculty but by graduatr
teaching assistants; faculty do not appear committed tt
teaching.

Several factors might affect the unsatisfied lecture

performance.

The World Bank reported tha

approximately half of today's higher education studentr
live in the developing world and faculty are oftel
underqualified, lack motivation, and are poorly rewarde<

[7]. In line with the evidence, Rasian [8] found tha
Azerbaijan, Turkey, Irak, India, Pakistan, Iran and lral
and other the developing countries were also facinl

similar challenges of funding insufficiencies, lov
standards, political and religious influence ol

universities, and poor incentives.
Considerable attention has been placed on enhancinl

teacher professionalism primarily through increasinl
teacher participation in decision making regarding issue

affecting teachers' schools and classrooms t9l

Nevertheless, the impact of participation has been studier

in the indusfial and

business domains throughout thr
world but only recently is it evident in schools. Anothe
neglected managerial aspect related to the lecture
performance is lecturer commitment. l-ecturers anr
