Good Management Affects Lecturer and Staff Performance: A Sustainable Educational Atmosphere at Lombok Business Academy (AKBIL)

Abstract

Effective management practices are fundamental to strengthening the quality of higher education institutions, particularly within newly established campuses that are still shaping their academic culture, governance systems, and human resource capabilities. This conceptual article examines how good management influences lecturer and staff performance in creating a sustainables academic atmosphere at Lombok Business Academy (AKBIL), a young institution in North Lombok, Indonesia. Using a qualitative and conceptual approach, this article synthesizes classical and contemporary management theories, educational governance literature, and reflections on AKBIL’s institutional dynamics. The findings reveal that inspirational leadership, structured academic governance, effective communication, and a performance-oriented organizational culture strongly determine the productivity, discipline, and commitment of lecturers and staff. For lecturers, the AKBIL emphasizes the importance of embodying the spirit of Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi—teaching, research, and community service—so that their contribution extends beyond classroom routines. For staff, AKBIL highlights the importance of service excellence, calling them to maintain accuracy, responsiveness, and student-centered administrative support. These elements together reinforce professional accountability and contribute to a sustainable academic atmosphere. The article proposes the AKBIL Sustainable Academic Atmosphere Model, which positions management as the driving force behind human resource performance and long-term institutional growth.
