This study examines the influence of Organizational Support and Work Engagement on Lecturer Performance in higher education institutions. Using a quantitative descriptive approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the research analyzes data from 190 respondents, comprising lecturers from various universities in Medan. The results show that Organizational Support has a significant positive effect on Lecturer Performance with a path coefficient of 0.265, a T statistic of 5.87, and a P value of 0.000, indicating a strong and highly significant impact. On the other hand, Work Engagement also positively affects Lecturer Performance, with a path coefficient of 0.107, a T statistic of 2.977, and a P value of 0.001, which is significant but with a smaller effect compared to Organizational Support. The R-squared value for Organizational Support is 0.656, indicating that 65.6% of the variance in Organizational Support is explained by the model. The findings highlight the importance of organizational support in fostering a productive academic environment, leading to improved lecturer performance. This research provides practical insights for higher education institutions aiming to enhance teaching quality and academic outcomes.
