Abstract: To flatten the curve of COVID-19 spread out, most educational institutions around the globe have started to enforce online learning without a proper understanding of how to enhance student online learning performance. The study aims to explore the role of lecturer competency towards the student's grit, motivation, and performance. Based on the stimulus-organism-response model, the study performed an online survey with Google Forms, enrolling 416 undergraduate students attending courses and examinations through online learning systems. The result indicates that lecturer competency has a positive relationship with a student's grit, motivation and performance. Moreover, student's grit and motivation mediate the relationship between lecturer competency and student performance. Consequently, designing online courses with the consideration of improving social interactions and encouraging the student's ability to monitor their learning processes without lecturers' guidance is a crucial task for lecturers and universities. It is also a milestone in exposing and preparing students readiness toward Education 4.0.
