Abstract

This study, entitled “A Descriptive Study on Work Motivation of Village Office Apparatus in Sentang Village, Teluk Mengkudu Subdistrict, Serdang Bedagai Regency”, aims to describe the level of work motivation among village officials based on several work-related indicators, including job security, social relationships, recognition and rewards, self-actualization, job satisfaction, commitment to duties, and participation in village activities. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews involving the village head, secretary, section heads, administrative officers, and hamlet heads. The findings reveal that village officials demonstrate relatively high work motivation, reflected in their sense of job security, harmonious social relationships, and recognition from both leaders and the community. Furthermore, opportunities for self-development, satisfaction with work outcomes, strong commitment to duties, and active participation in village activities serve as key factors that reinforce their motivation. The study concludes that work motivation among village officials is influenced not only by internal factors but also by external support such as appreciation and community participation.

Abstract

This study originates from the phenomenon of employee loyalty in village administration, which has not been fully understood, particularly at the Sentang Village Office, Teluk Mengkudu District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. Employee loyalty is not merely formal adherence to the institution but also emotional attachment, moral commitment, and social dedication. Recent structural and administrative changes have created new dynamics that influence loyalty patterns. The purpose of this research is to explain how employees subjectively interpret loyalty to the institution and the factors shaping it amidst organizational dynamics, work relations, and structural changes. The research employs a qualitative phenomenological approach. The subjects are permanent and honorary employees of the Sentang Village Office with at least one year of work experience. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed using a modified Miles and Huberman model adapted for phenomenological studies. Findings reveal that loyalty is perceived as a moral mandate and social devotion, manifested through discipline, honesty, active participation in village activities, and willingness to work beyond formal hours. Key factors influencing loyalty include the village head’s participatory and open leadership style, harmonious interpersonal relationships, and strong social bonds with the community.
