Higher education in Indonesia plays a role in enlightening the nation and improving welfare through the development of knowledge and the Tridharma of Higher Education. Lecturers, as professional educators, play a crucial role in the transformation and dissemination of knowledge. Therefore, improving the quality of lecturers and good educational governance are key factors in ensuring the quality of higher education. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing lecturers' work ethic on their performance, through the variables of competence, remuneration, information technology facilities, and career development. The study employs a descriptive method and a quantitative verificative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consists of 483 lecturers, with a filtered sample of 220 lecturers from Poltekkes X and Poltekkes Y. Questionnaires were distributed to these participants, followed by validity, reliability, and normality tests. Data analysis includes descriptive analysis with score ranges, and verificative analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Lisrel 8.8 to accommodate latent variables and address measurement errors. Model feasibility testing was conducted using various goodness-of-fit indicators. The results indicate that the variables of competence, remuneration, technology facilities, and career development for lecturers at Poltekkes X and Y fall into the fairly good and good category, while work ethic significantly influences lecturer performance. However, improvements are needed, particularly in professionalism, remuneration, satisfaction with information technology facilities, as well as policies on transfers and promotions. Additionally, in terms of work ethic, the reliability aspect needs improvement to enhance lecturer performance.
