Data were analyzed using SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 4.0. This quantitative study used primary data from questionnaires distributed to VOE management in both provinces.Research findings: The results show that Human Capital has a direct impact on the performance of VOEs and their innovation capability. The Innovation Capability also has a direct effect on performance. In addition, human capital affects VOE performance through innovation capability. Public accountability can weaken the innovation capability on performance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research is a development of previous research by adding public accountability as a moderating variable that can affect the quality of performance that is not present in previous studies. Practitioner/Policy implication: This study's findings suggest that the management of VOEs can improve service quality and human resources to create innovation and performance, which is important for local governments to create a supportive environment for VOEs innovation.

Future research should expand the research scope, conduct research using interviews or other methods, and add other variables such as social capital and transparency.
