Abstract

General Background: Change management has become a critical approach in higher education institutions to address evolving academic demands and improve lecturer performance. Specific Background: At Ahmad Dahlan Institute Probolinggo, institutional transformation requires strategic alignment between leadership, work culture, and professional development to support lecturer performance. Knowledge Gap: However, limited studies provide in-depth qualitative insights into how change management strategies are implemented within specific higher education contexts to support lecturer performance. Aims: This study aims to examine change management strategies in improving lecturer performance at Ahmad Dahlan Institute Probolinggo. Results: Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation from key informants—including the rector, vice rectors, and lecturers—indicate that lecturer performance is associated with institutional change strategies supported by inclusive and progressive work culture values, as well as transformational leadership that facilitates professional development. Novelty: This study provides a contextualized analysis of change management strategies in a higher education institution by highlighting the integration of leadership and work culture in supporting lecturer performance. Implications: The findings suggest the need to strengthen leadership capacity and develop a sustainable transformational work culture to address digital challenges and improve educational quality in higher education institutions.
