<![CDATA[The managerial performance of village heads is crucial for effective local governance; however, it remains suboptimal due to limited managerial capacity. This study examines the influence of interpersonal communication, personality, and work motivation on managerial performance using an integrated causal model. A quantitative explanatory survey was conducted among 115 village heads in Bogor Regency, selected through probability sampling. Data were collected via structured questionnaires and analyzed using path analysis to assess both direct and indirect relationships. The findings indicate that interpersonal communication, personality, and work motivation significantly influence managerial performance, with work motivation emerging as the strongest predictor. Interpersonal communication and personality also exert a positive influence on work motivation, although their mediating role is less pronounced than their direct effects.
