Abstract

This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of servant leadership, organizational climate, work productivity, workload, and compensation on lecturer work stress in private universities. Using a quantitative approach with path analysis, data were collected through questionnaires from 200 lecturers selected via proportional stratified random sampling. The analysis showed that workload and compensation act as intervening variables influencing work stress. Results indicate that servant leadership and organizational climate significantly reduce stress both directly and indirectly through workload and compensation. Lecturer productivity also indirectly affects stress via compensation. These findings underscore the importance of educational management practices that prioritize balanced workload distribution, fair compensation, and supportive leadership to reduce work-related stress among lecturers
