Abstract

The Karang Endah Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Village Office is a village-owned agency that operates in the field of community services. One effort that can be made to improve the performance of village officials is to improve the leadership style of the current leaders. The problem faced by the Karang Endah Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Village Office in its efforts to improve the performance of its apparatus is: 'How does leadership style influence the performance of apparatus at the Karang Endah Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Village Office?'. This research aims to analyze the influence of leadership style on the performance of village officials at the Karang Endah Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Village Office. The analytical tool used is quantitative analysis using the correlation coefficient formula and data collection methods through observation, interviews, documentation and questionnaires distributed to village officials. Based on the calculation results, it can be concluded that the correlation value r = 0.65, which has been consulted with conservative standards, is located between 0.600-0.799, which means it is classified as a strong correlation or influence between leadership style and equipment performance at the Karang Endah Ogan Komering Ulu Timur Village Office and after conducting a hypothesis test it is known that t = 2.4 and the t table is 1.860. Thus the hypothesis that has been proposed can be accepted, because the calculated t is greater than the t table. This means accepting Ha and rejecting Ho.  It is hoped that this research can provide insight for village heads and stakeholders in developing better leadership strategies to improve the performance of village officials.
