The problem in this study is that lecturers have not been maximally and optimally in

implementing the Tridharma of Higher Education even though this is an obligation that has

been mandated by law to Lecturers. The purpose of this study is to develop a conceptual

model of the influence between empowering leadership and professionalism on lecturer

performance by offering work motivation as mediating and moderating variables and self-

efficacy and locus of control as moderating variables. The sample in this study were 317 private
high school lecturers in Jambi and Riau Provinces, the data analysis technique used SEM-PLS

with the application of WarpPLS 7.0. The main finding in this study is that work motivation (full

meditation) the effect of professionalism on lecturer performance; work motivation partially

mediates (partial mediation) the effect of empowering leadership on lecturer performance;

work motivation is able to significantly strengthen the influence of professionalism on lecturer
performance; then empowering leadership has a positive and significant effect on lecturer

performance; professionalism has a positive but not significant effect on lecturer performance;

work motivation has a positive and significant effect on lecturer performance; motivation

weakens the effect of empowering leadership on lecturer performance, although not

significantly; self-efficacy weakens the effect of empowering leadership on lecturer
performance although not significantly; locus of control is able to strengthen the influence of

professionalism on lecturer performance although not significantly. Other findings outside the

hypothesis proposed by the authors are empowering leadership has a positive and significant

effect on lecturers 'work motivation, and professionalism has a positive and significant effect

on lecturers' work motivation. All research findings have met the requirements that must be
met in the SEM-PLS model especially the fit and quality index models.
