Abstract

This study evaluates the effectiveness of remuneration policies in enhancing lecturer performance across the Tri Dharma (education, research, and community service) in State Islamic Universities using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation framework. Employing a qualitative methodology, data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews with 31 key informants from two State Islamic Universities with Public Service Agency status. Findings reveal that while remuneration policies possess robust legal foundations and ensure timely disbursement, implementation effectiveness is constrained by technological gaps in performance verification systems, suboptimal staffing capacity, and fiscal sustainability challenges dependent on variable tuition revenues. Most critically, despite successfully motivating educational performance (averaging 24.49 credits or 63.8% of total lecturer effort), the remuneration system has inadvertently created significant imbalance in Tri Dharma contributions, with research averaging 8.02 credits (20.9%) and community service merely 1.95 credits (5.1%). The CIPP analysis demonstrates that strong process integrity and leadership commitment are insufficient to overcome fundamental design flaws that create perverse incentives favoring teaching volume over research quality and community engagement. Addressing this imbalance requires comprehensive policy redesign incorporating balanced performance metrics, dedicated research and service budgets, and integrated structural support across all Tri Dharma pillars. This evaluation provides critical insights for institutional leaders and policymakers on advancing quality-driven remuneration systems that optimize institutional performance and accountability in Indonesian Islamic higher education contexts.
