Abstract

Rural community empowerment is a strategic instrument for participatory and sustainable village development. Village government plays a central role as the prime mover in motivating residents to engage actively in development. This study aims to analyse the form and manifestation of village government motivation in empowering communities, identify the factors influencing this motivation, and assess the implications of village government motivation on the success of village development in Lalang Village, Medang Deras Sub-district, Batu Bara Regency. The study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a case-study method. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation involving the Village Head, village officials, community leaders, and beneficiary residents. Data were analysed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, supported by triangulation. The findings show that the motivation of village government emerges from a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is reflected in the sense of responsibility, the commitment to public service, and the pride of village officials in advancing the village. Extrinsic motivation arises from policy support, social recognition, leadership of the Village Head, and the availability of work facilities. Driving factors include participatory leadership, clear task division, capacity building, and community support. Inhibiting factors include limited official competence, high administrative burden, uneven community participation, and local socio-political dynamics. Government motivation indirectly influences village development through the quality of empowerment processes, namely awareness raising, capacity strengthening, and empowerment. Strong motivation among officials promotes higher community participation, institutional consolidation, and the rise of local economic initiatives.

Abstract

Improving rural community welfare does not depend on government policy alone. It requires the active role of communities through community-based social initiatives. One such initiative is the PPKM AlIkhlas (Pengurus Peduli Kesosialan Masyarakat) programme in Sengon Sari Village, Aek Kuasan Subdistrict, Asahan Regency. This programme reflects social solidarity in supporting villagers facing social and economic difficulties. The study aims to analyse the strategies of PPKM Al-Ikhlas in improving community welfare, to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors of programme implementation, and to describe the contribution of the programme to community welfare in the village. A qualitative descriptive method was used. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Informants comprised PPKM Al-Ikhlas committee members, village officials, community leaders, and beneficiary residents. Data were analysed through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that the strategies adopted by PPKM Al-Ikhlas rely on participatory approaches, community deliberation, and direct service to those in need. Supporting factors include strong values of mutual cooperation, community-level social concern, and trust in the committee. Inhibiting factors include limited financial resources, simple administrative management, and uneven community participation. The programme has contributed positively to community welfare, both through the fulfilment of basic needs and the strengthening of social solidarity. PPKM Al-Ikhlas thus functions as a community-based social initiative that complements the role of village government in advancing rural welfare.
