Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the political literacy, awareness, and participation of first-time voters through the theme “Political Education for First-Time Voters: Realizing a Smart and Responsible Generation in Democracy”. The initiative is driven by the relatively low levels of political literacy among the youth and the growing challenges of hoaxes and disinformation in the digital era. The program was conducted at SMK PGRI Takokak on January 29, 2026, involving 50 twelfth-grade students and facilitated by lecturers from STISIP Guna Nusantara Cianjur. The methods employed included interactive lectures, group discussions, case studies on actual phenomena such as money politics and hoaxes, and a direct simulation of the general election process. The results indicate a significant increase in students' understanding of basic democratic concepts and their strategic role as citizens. Furthermore, students demonstrated improved critical thinking skills in filtering political information on social media. The election simulation provided practical experience that reinforced values of integrity and responsibility. In conclusion, this educational-participatory approach is effective in cultivating smart and critical first-time voters, which is essential for maintaining the quality of democracy in Indonesia.

Abstract

The effectiveness of government administration largely depends on the level of public compliance. However, the situation in Cianjur Regency indicates a persistent gap between government policy design and its implementation by the community. This study aims to examine the effects of Public Policy Quality and Government Communication on Public Trust and Community Compliance, while also investigating the mediating role of Public Trust and the moderating role of Political Awareness. Using a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method, data were collected from 310 respondents in Cianjur through purposive sampling and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that both Government Communication and Public Policy Quality have positive and significant effects on Public Trust. However, in influencing Community Compliance, only Government Communication demonstrates a significant direct effect. In contrast, Public Policy Quality, the mediating effect of Public Trust, and the moderating effect of Political Awareness do not show significant influences on Community Compliance. These results suggest that effective government communication serves as the most dominant instrument and primary determinant in ensuring citizens’ compliance with local government policies. This study contributes to the academic literature on the determinants of community compliance by providing empirical evidence regarding the roles of policy quality, government communication, public trust, and political awareness. Furthermore, it offers an empirical model for local governments to enhance governance effectiveness through communication-based strategies aimed at improving the implementation and success of public development programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of internal communication of the village head on the work motivation of village officials in Sukamulya Village, Warungkondang District, Cianjur Regency. The background of this research is the presence of information distortion, lack of routine communication forums, and low work discipline that hinder organizational effectiveness at the village level. The research method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 35 respondents using a saturated sampling technique and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS 3. The results show that internal communication has a positive and significant effect on work motivation, with a path coefficient of 0.825. Statistically, the t-statistic value of 2.430 (>1.96) and p-value of 0.015 (<0.05) confirm that improvements in internal communication quality directly enhance work motivation. The R-square value of 0.680 indicates that internal communication explains 68% of the variance in work motivation. Additionally, the model demonstrates moderate predictive relevance with a Q-square value of 0.278. These findings highlight the importance of transparency, feedback systems, and efficient information flow in fostering motivation and professionalism among village officials.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the Village Head's leadership on community participation, with village policy and empowerment acting as mediating variables in Naringgul District, Cianjur Regency. The method used is a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through questionnaires from 85 respondents, determined using a proportionate stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results show that the Village Head's leadership has a highly significant positive direct influence on both village policy and empowerment, as well as on community participation. However, it was found that village policy and empowerment do not significantly influence community participation. Furthermore, the village policy and empowerment variable was not proven to mediate the relationship between the influence of leadership and the level of citizen participation. These findings indicate that community involvement in the research area remains heavily dependent on the figure and personal instructions of the village leader, rather than the effectiveness of existing regulations or formal empowerment programs. Strengthening transformational leadership capacity is the main key to driving inclusive and sustainable village development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of individual capacity and organizational communication on community perceptions of the institutional performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Wanasari Village, Agrabinta District, Cianjur Regency. The study employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to community members who have interacted with village government services. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares. The results indicate that individual capacity has a positive and significant effect on community perception, with a coefficient value of 0.586. Meanwhile, organizational communication also shows a positive and significant effect, with a coefficient value of 0.388. Simultaneously, both variables explain 0.901 of the variance in community perception, indicating that the research model has a very strong explanatory power. These findings highlight that the quality of human resources and the effectiveness of organizational communication are key determinants in enhancing public trust and evaluation of BPD performance. Therefore, strategic efforts are required to strengthen individual capacity through continuous training and to improve transparent and participatory communication systems in order to support better village governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the village government in addressing the issue of school dropouts in Babakankaret Village, Cianjur District, Cianjur Regency. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, involving key informants such as village officials, teachers, parents, and school dropouts. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while validity was ensured through triangulation techniques. The findings reveal that the village government has performed its roles as a facilitator, regulator, and catalyst through the implementation of non-formal education programs, provision of educational assistance, and community awareness initiatives regarding the importance of education. However, these efforts have not yet been fully effective due to several constraints, including economic limitations, low educational awareness, inadequate infrastructure, and socio-cultural factors. The implementation of educational acceleration programs has shown positive impacts, yet it has not comprehensively reached all school-age children who have dropped out. This study concludes that the role of the village government in addressing school dropout issues remains suboptimal and requires stronger policy support, improved coordination, and greater community participation to ensure more effective and sustainable outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the supervisory function of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) on the performance of the village government in Bojongpetir Village, Tanggeung District, Cianjur Regency. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, including BPD members, the village head, village officials, and community leaders. Data collection techniques include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, with validity ensured through triangulation. The results indicate that the supervisory function of the BPD has been implemented but not yet optimal. The BPD has conducted supervision on budget management and village program implementation; however, several obstacles remain, such as low member participation, limited resources, and weak coordination with the village government. Consequently, the performance of the village government in terms of transparency and accountability has not been fully achieved. Efforts made include improving the capacity of BPD members and strengthening coordination mechanisms. This study concludes that optimizing the role of the BPD is essential to achieve good village governance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of sub-district head (Camat) leadership and the quality of civil servant services on the effectiveness of licensing services in Cugenang Sub-district, Cianjur Regency. The research employs a quantitative approach with explanatory research design, using the community as the unit of analysis. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that the leadership of the Camat plays an important role in improving service effectiveness through the ability to direct, coordinate, and supervise administrative staff. Meanwhile, the quality of public service delivered by civil servants is a more dominant factor in determining the success of licensing services, particularly in terms of responsiveness, professionalism, transparency, and community satisfaction. The synergy between effective leadership and high-quality service delivery contributes to more optimal, efficient, and community-oriented public services. This study provides theoretical contributions to the development of public service models based on local leadership and practical implications for local governments in improving licensing service quality.
