readiness of human resources to deal with changes that occur so quickly. Competence will be very influential
on job satisfaction and organizational commitment both in the short and long term, therefore to achieve the
vision and mission that the organization has established, the organization must be able to create job satisfaction
and organizational commitment. This research was conducted on lecturers who taught at private universities

years of experience as lecturers. There is a positive influence between competency on job satisfaction and
organizational commitment, meaning that to create job satisfaction and organizational commitment in an
organization, competencies are needed in accordance with the field of work. Therefore the suggestion in this

education which can create job satisfaction and organizational commitment both in the short and long term. the
managerial implication is that the university must be able to provide a budget to improve job satisfaction and
organizational commitment through efforts to improve the competence of teaching lecturers.
