NALISIS GAYA KEPEMIMPINANN DAN DISIPLIN KERJA KARYAWAN DALAM MENINGKATKAN KINERJA ORGANISASI

This study examines the relationship between the Village Head's
leadership style and employee work discipline at the Padang
Tumbuo Village Office, Ampana Kota District, Tojo Una-Una
Regency. Quality human resources (HR) are crucial in achieving
organizational goals, particularly in the public sector. This study
employed a qualitative design with a case study approach, with data
collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation. The
results indicate that the Village Head's democratic-participatory
leadership style, with directive and transformational touches, plays
a significant role in improving employee work discipline. The Village
Head provides appreciation, motivation, and direct involvement in
work activities, creating a positive work atmosphere. However,
challenges remain in discipline, such as tardiness and a lack of
understanding of duties and responsibilities. This study suggests the
importance of regular training, a more effective attendance system,
and objective performance evaluation. The contribution of this study
is to enrich the literature on the influence of leadership style on
employee discipline in village government.
