This research determines the impact of the lecturer's teaching and research performance in international colleges located in China and Indonesia, in terms of cultural diversity (Religion, Attitudes), and professional-family life/WLB balance (career, communication) through loyalty (discipline, integrity, behavior). Data were obtained from Indonesian and Chinese lecturers teaching at STIE Mahardhika Surabaya and Zhejiang University of Technology Hangzhou, China. The result showed that cultural diversity is negatively related to professional-family life balance (WLB), profession-family life balance is positively related to loyalty. In contrast, the loyalty variable has a significant effect on performance. Furthermore, when there is a conflict between lecturers from these two countries, in terms of differences in ideas, strategies, innovations related to the learning process, and research and community service, the resolution is more complicated for lecturers at STIE Mahardhika Surabaya. Therefore, cultural diversity and profession-family life balance through loyalty have an impact on lecturer performance between these two countries. Subsequent studies are needed using other international colleges and attributes.
