In Indonesia’s rapidly evolving higher-education landscape, private universities face increasing demands to enhance lecturer performance amid digitalisation and competitive institutional pressures. This study aims to examine how Career Development, Digital Leadership, and Emotional Intelligence influence Organizational Commitment and its subsequent impact on Lecturer Performance at private universities in the Greater Jakarta area. A quantitative approach employing descriptive and verificative methods was used, and data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the support of the LISREL program. The sample consisted of 200 lecturers selected from 18 private higher-education institutions through cluster-based proportional random sampling. The findings indicate that Career Development, Digital Leadership, and Emotional Intelligence each exert a positive and statistically significant influence on Organizational Commitment. Organizational Commitment was also found to significantly improve Lecturer Performance and serve as a mediating variable that strengthens the relationship between individual and Organizational determinants and performance outcomes. The results further show that the proposed model effectively explains the relationships among the studied variables, with career development, digital leadership, and emotional intelligence significantly predicting Organizational commitment (p < 0.05), which in turn has a significant positive effect on lecturer performance. These findings highlight that enhancing lecturer performance in private universities within the Greater Jakarta region can be achieved through structured career development programmes, the adoption of adaptive and visionary digital leadership practices, and the reinforcement of emotional intelligence, all of which contribute to strengthening lecturers’ Organizational commitment.
