The effectiveness of lecturers in executing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education teaching, research, and community services a crucial metric for assessing a university's quality, reputation, and competitiveness. Nonetheless, discrepancies in instructor performance across universities, especially Universitas Riau, persist as a considerable concern. This study seeks to determine the extent to which lecturers at Universitas Riau have successfully fulfilled their roles in education, research, and community service. The aim of this research is to delineate and evaluate lecturers' accomplishments according to the criteria of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. This study utilizes a descriptive quantitative methodology involving 147 permanent lecturers selected through accidental sampling approaches. Data were gathered by documentation and examined employing descriptive statistics, encompassing minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation values. The findings indicate that the predominant proportion of lecturers (71.43%) are classified within the "moderate" performance category, and the remainder are allocated among the "high," "low," "very high," and "very low" categories. The educational component exhibited the highest performance, whereas research and community service demonstrated considerable variability.
