Abstract

In a village government, the need to carry out social functions internally and externally can significantly affect the survival of the village. Therefore, the principle of leadership is of paramount importance for the achievement of a village’s objectives. In this regard, leadership is influential to several aspects of an organization, including the members' work performance and work satisfaction. Thus, the achievement of work satisfaction is a crucial objective to generate optimum performance and contribute to community development. Employing a qualitative method, the study found that the role of a village head is very influential in directing, guiding, and encouraging the village apparatus in carrying out their duties and contributing to the village development. Moreover, the village head’s leadership has contributed to the achievement of work satisfaction due to several factors, such as the job desk that matches each individual's abilities, feedback, and a fair payment system.
