Abstract: The quality of graduates is often linked to the quality of a country's Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Concomitantly, lecturers are regarded as being imperative in producing quality graduates and strengthening HEIs. This study examines the effects of lecturer competencies on student academic performance and tests the moderating role of student motivation in the relationship between lecturer competencies and student academic performance. We used a quantitative approach to meet the objectives of the study and collected empirical data using a questionnaire survey from 210 students enrolled in the HEIs in Brunei. The data, examined through several statistical techniques, reveals a strong relationship between specific lecturer competencies and student academic performance. The findings also show that, of all the lecturer competencies, lecturer motivation interacts with student motivation positively to enhance student academic performance. These findings inform our current understanding of the determinants of student academic performance and provide vital directions for policy-making.
