Abstract :

This research aims to discuss the influence of organizational justice and servant leadership on lecturer engagement both directly and indirectly at private universities in Medan. The direct and indirect influence of organizational justice, servant leadership, and lecturer engagement on their job satisfaction. The sample was 440 lecturers taken by using proportional random techniques. The primary data analysis technique uses a structural equation model with the lisrel application program supported. The estimation method applies weight least squares. Organizational justice and servant leadership partially influence lecturer engagement and job satisfaction. Lecturer engagement does not affect job satisfaction. Private university leaders in Medan should pay attention to aspects of conceptualization ability in servant leadership, especially the balance of short-term and long-term focus in increasing lecturer engagement and job satisfaction.
