Abstract

Employee commitment and engagement is one of the keys to organizational success. Furthermore, in a higher education instituion, it is important to measure the commitment and engagement of lecturers in it in an effort to improve quality and performance. However, there is no specific measurement to measure the level of commitment and special attachment to lecturers. The purpose of this study is to find alternative instruments, measurements, and scales for surveys that can measure the level of lecturer commitment to the profession and their higher education appropriately. The study was conducted by survey method, of 136 lecturers in Jakarta and surrounding areas. Initial measurements used 13 item, which were then processed by RASCH modeling. The RASCH model analysis showed that there were 11 item measures that could be suggested for further research in measuring the commitment and attachment of lecturers, of which these 11 items were not biased towards age, educational background and lecturer status, but were biased towards the length of service. In addition to the items, the results of the study show that the measurement of the items can be done with a four-level Likert scale. The implication obtained from the results of this study is that these 11 measures can be used for research that measures the level of commitment and attachment of lecturers. The implication of this research is the measurement items for commitment and engagement of lecturers can be used in further research and analysis.
