Abstract
The development philosophy by Indonesia is change, starts from the village to correct previous development practices. Hence, public service motivation is essential to promote village development. So, the purpose of this study is to examine the direct and indirect effects of transformational leadership and organizational culture on public service motivation. The methodology accordingly includes a seven-item scale questionnaire survey consisting of 210 samples of village officials. We used the structural model, fit model, and mediation model to test the hypothesis and allow SmartPLS. The result showed that public service motivation is directly influenced by transformational leadership and organizational culture. Indirectly, public service motivation is influenced by transformational leadership mediated by organizational culture. Hence transformational leadership is the essential thing that should be implemented by the village official where they needed to empower. In line with it, organizational culture has a mediation role in improving public service motivation. Hence, the local role of government is expected to empower the village's organizational environment to make the village more positional.

Summary
Law Number 6 of 2014 states that the village is a legal community unit that has territorial boundaries to regulate government and the interests of its people to improve the quality of life and community welfare. The village head has the authority to set village regulations, the issuance of village regulations at village meetings can be a tool to answer various kinds of important problems on the economic and social side so that the community can become independent (Wahyudin et al, 2016). The measurement of village development progress in Indonesia is described through the Village Development Index (IDM), which aims to support the central government in increasing villages to become independent and reducing disadvantaged villages. The description of Jambi Province villages based on IDM in 2020 is categorized into five categories. They are independent (87 villages), developed (285 villages), developing (871 villages), underdeveloped (154 villages), and very underdeveloped (2 villages). The existence of villages with the status of being left behind and very underdeveloped (156 villages) is a real problem in this study
