Peran Kepemimpinan Kepala Desa Dalam Meningkatkan Kedisiplinan Perangkat Desa di Desa Karanganyar Kecamatan Cililin Kabupaten Bandung Barat

This study analyzes the role of village head leadership in improving the discipline of village officials in Karanganyar Village. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that the village head applies a combination of democratic, situational, and transformational leadership styles flexibly, adapted to local culture and personnel characteristics. The village head actively motivates, fosters open communication, and builds a participatory work atmosphere. However, supervision remains suboptimal due to the absence of a structured reward and punishment system. Other influencing factors include low work motivation, weak enforcement of regulations, and limited employee welfare. The study concludes that village head leadership has a significant impact on the discipline of village officials, but improvement is needed in supervision, consistent disciplinary policies, and institutional support.
