Abstract
The rapid digitalization of higher education in Indonesia has transformed teaching practices but also presents serious obstacles to the physical and emotional well-being of lecturers. This study examines the impact of ergonomic policies on lecturer well-being through the integration of macroergonomics and social engineering perspectives and formulates policies for improving lecturer emotional well-being. To collect information, the study used different methods, including a survey of 100 lecturers with established tools like the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and ergonomic condition assessment, as well as personal insights from interviews with 10 chosen lecturers. The digital training program and the unergonomic work environment significantly contributed to increased levels of stress and emotional exhaustion. Specifically, 60% of lecturers reported back pain, 55% experienced eye strain, and 50% reported high levels of negative affect. Interview results corroborated these issues and revealed a widespread lack of institutional support. The strategy designed was an integrated ergonomic intervention, including furniture adjustments, enhanced digital skills development, and comprehensive mental health support, to improve lecturer productivity and emotional well-being.

Abstract
In the era of digitization and globalization, national higher education systems face a number of challenges of the exogenous nature. Intensification of the competition in the educational services market necessitates the search for new ways of increasing the level of the competitiveness of universities and higher education systems as a whole. Development of theoretical, methodological and applied foundations of the formation and implementation of the integrated model of the competitive higher education becomes relevant. Application of the interdisciplinary approach to the research allows combining tools and techniques of different sciences. Economic, psycho-pedagogical, legal and managerial blocks are structural components of the proposed model of the competitive higher education. The effective implementation of such a model requires the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders and the impact of changing factors in the exogenous environment. Successful implementation of the model requires the existence of a developed regulatory framework harmonized with the provisions of the EU legislation. Practical implementation of the model concept proposed in this article will increase the competitiveness of the national higher education system in a highly competitive global scientific and educational area.
