In 2023, Banten Province had 141 higher education institutions, including 33 private universities, each with varying accreditation ratings believed to be influenced by organizational performance. This study investigates the impact of four key factors—leadership, quality assurance systems, lecturer integrity, and organizational climate—on the organizational performance of private universities. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through proportional stratified random sampling, resulting in a sample of 320 lecturers from 48 study programs across 25 private universities. A covariance-based structural equation model (CB-SEM) with AMOS software was used for analysis. The findings show that leadership does not directly affect organizational performance, while lecturer integrity, quality assurance systems, and organizational climate have significant positive effects. Although strong analytical ability, rational thinking, and clear instruction from leaders do not guarantee high performance, lecturer integrity—reflected in honesty, responsibility, ethical behavior, and consistency—emerges as a critical factor. This integrity contributes to a positive organizational climate, which in turn enhances overall performance in private universities.
