Synopsis

Menjadi dosen bukan sekadar mengajar di ruang kelas, melainkan menginspirasi, meneliti, mengabdi, dan menciptakan perubahan yang berdampak bagi masyarakat. Namun, mengapa sebagian dosen mampu mencapai prestasi luar biasa, sementara yang lain hanya menjalankan rutinitas? Buku Menjadi Dosen Prestatif: Rahasia di Balik Kinerja Unggul Dosen mengupas berbagai faktor yang membentuk kinerja unggul dosen secara mendalam dan praktis. 

Melalui pembahasan yang ringan namun berbasis realitas dunia pendidikan tinggi, buku ini mengajak pembaca memahami hubungan antara budaya kerja, kepuasan kerja, penjaminan mutu, serta perilaku kerja prestatif. Penulis menunjukkan bahwa keberhasilan dosen tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kompetensi akademik, tetapi juga oleh sistem dan ekosistem kampus yang mampu mendorong lahirnya inovasi, kolaborasi, integritas, serta semangat untuk terus berkembang.

Ditujukan bagi dosen, calon dosen, pimpinan perguruan tinggi, pengelola yayasan, hingga pemerhati pendidikan, buku ini menawarkan wawasan, refleksi, dan peta jalan praktis untuk membangun kampus yang unggul. Sebuah bacaan yang menginspirasi bagi siapa saja yang percaya bahwa pendidikan tinggi yang berkualitas berawal dari dosen-dosen yang prestatif.
