Keywords:
Compensation, Work Motivation, Village Official Performance, Rural Governance, North Central TimorAbstract
The declining performance of village officials in implementing development programs has become a critical issue affecting public service quality in rural Indonesia, particularly in North Central Timor Regency where several village programs fail to reach their targets. This study aims to examine the effect of compensation and motivation on village official performance at Oesena Village Office, Miomaffo Timur District, North Central Timor Regency. A quantitative research design was employed using census sampling method with 57 village officials as respondents, analyzed through simple and multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics version 22. The findings revealed that compensation significantly affects village official performance (β=0.451, t=3.745, p<0.05) with R²=0.203, motivation significantly affects performance (β=0.424, t=3.653, p<0.05) with R²=0.195, and simultaneously both variables significantly affect performance (R=0.494, R²=0.244, F=8.733, p<0.05). This study contributes to the literature by examining compensation and motivation in the context of village governance in Eastern Indonesia's rural areas, extending previous research primarily conducted in Java. These findings provide practical guidance for village leaders and local government in designing effective compensation systems and motivational strategies to improve public service delivery at the village level.
