Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of technical competence and managerial competence on village government performance with village governance as a mediating variable. The background of this study is the importance of human resources and an effective governance system in improving the quality of village services and development. The research was conducted in Pidie District, Aceh Province, involving 100 village officials selected through proportional stratified random sampling technique. The method used was a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis technique using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that both technical and managerial competencies had a positive and significant effect on village government performance. Technical competence also has a significant influence on governance, and governance acts as a mediator in the relationship between competence and performance. The mediating effect of technical competence through governance is stronger than that of managerial competence. This finding confirms that good village governance is key in optimizing apparatus competencies into superior performance. The practical implication is that increasing competence and strengthening governance should be the focus of village development policy.
