The main objective of this study is to develop a model for improving in-role performance of lecturers by examining the linkage between psychological empowerment and job involvement on lecturers? in-role performance both direct and indirect through effort at private universities in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The sample size for the study comprised 307 who already possessed professional lecturer certificates from 20 private universities in South Sulawesi. Data were processed using the Partial Least Square (PLS)-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results of data analysis confirm the hypotheses drawn from the literature. Consistent with other studies, the results of this study confirm that psychological empowerment, job involvement and effort positively and significantly influence in-role performance. Furthermore, effort positively and significantly mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and in-role performance. However, effort does not mediate the relationship between job involvement and in-role performance.
