Lecturer performance is a major factor in improving the quality of education, which is influenced by various aspects, including financial compensation. This study uses a quantitative method with regression analysis techniques. The results of the study indicate that salary and incentives have a positive and significant effect on lecturer performance, both partially and simultaneously. This finding confirms that good compensation can increase lecturer motivation, productivity, and loyalty in carrying out their academic duties. Therefore, salary and incentive policies must be adjusted to the needs and expectations of lecturers in order to achieve optimal performance.
