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

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

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
