This research examines the relationship between leadership and direct organizational task performance of lectures that is directly and indirectly moderated by knowledge management and work motivation. The data was obtained from 155 respondents, which were chosen as samples. The analysis was conducted by employing descriptive statistics analysis and inferential statistics that utilized SPSS v23 and AMOS 19. The result shows that leadership and knowledge management significantly influenced organizational task performance. It was also found that knowledge management mediated the relationship between leadership and organizational task performance. Furthermore, it was found that knowledge management strengthened the relationship between leadership and organizational task performance and work motivation did not strengthen the relationship between leadership and organizational task performance. It is expected that knowledge management activity will be adopted as an academic culture among lecturers.
