Abstract

Lecturer involvement in the development of academic culture in higher education is an important element that affects the quality of education and academic atmosphere. This study aims to identify the factors that are affecting lecturer involvement and the impact of the lack of involvement. Affecting factors include higher education policies, lecturer workload, facility support, organizational culture, and rewards received by lecturers. Lack of lecturer involvement can result in reduced teaching quality, hindered academic collaboration, reduced research innovation, and stagnation of curriculum development. Other impacts include a decline in higher education reputation and limited student character development. This study shows the importance of good management of lecturer workload management, provision of adequate facilities, and the creation of policies that can increase lecturer motivation to be actively involved in academic activities. Higher education needs to optimize the role of lecturers in developing academic culture to improve the quality of education and institutional reputation.
