This study identifies factors that affect the quality of life of lecturers, such as work-life balance, financial well-being, work environment, and administrative burden. This study uses a quantitative method with statistical analysis using SEM AMOS. where data was collected from 228 lecturers working at 11 private universities in Central Java. The sampling technique used is stratified random sampling to ensure representation of various groups of lecturers. Data was obtained through a structured questionnaire that measured the quality of life, welfare, and academic productivity of lecturers. Based on the findings of the research, the quality of life of lecturers and welfare are factors that determine the academic productivity of lecturers in private universities. Lecturers who feel well socially supported tend to have better well-being, which ultimately increases their productivity. These findings have important implications for higher education institutions to develop policies that support the welfare of lecturers to increase their academic productivity
