Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of village apparatus commitment as mediation on the influence of organizational justice and work environment toward village apparatus performance in all subdistricts in Aceh Selatan District, Indonesia. This study was conducted in all villages in Aceh Selatan district which totaling 260 villages. The population was village officials in all villages in Aceh Selatan district totaling 3156 people. The number of samples used was 232 people. The data were analyzed with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The result reveals that Organizational Justice affects Village Apparatus Commitment, Work Environment affects Village Apparatus Commitment, Organizational Justice affects Village apparatus Performance, Work Environment does not affect Village apparatus Performance, Village Apparatus Commitment affects Village apparatus Performance, Village Apparatus Commitment partially mediates the influence of Organizational Justice on Village apparatus Performance, and Village Apparatus Commitment fully mediates the influence of Work Environment on Village apparatus Performance. From these results, it is evident that only the work environment does not have a direct role in improving village apparatus performance, but must go through the role of village apparatus commitment so that in this model village apparatus commitment acts as a full mediator. From other models, apparatus commitment is also proven to be a partial mediator on the role model of organizational justice in improving village apparatus performance. So it can be explained that the model for improving village apparatus performance in Aceh Selatan district is a function of strengthening organizational justice, adjusting the work environment, and strengthening village apparatus commitment.
