Abstract: Abstract In this research, we examined the mediating effect (decision-making) between governance mechanisms captured by organizational culture and compensation systems (local and/or national criteria bonuses) of public higher education institutions and their efficiency, through an empirical study based on correlational investigation. To identify the relationship between governance mechanisms: organizational culture and compensation systems (local and/or national criteria bonuses), decision-making, and efficiency of public higher education institutions, we selected a sample of 19 public higher education institutions in Sfax for the periods 2017–2020 and 2020–2023. The obtained results revealed that the attribute of organizational culture (captured by student life) and compensation systems (local and/or national criteria bonuses) indirectly affect the efficiency of university institutions through decision-making.
