Abstract

Accountability is a principle that ensures that government administration is accountable for a series of designed programs. This study aims to examine the influence of success factors in village government accountability in managing village funds, namely, village apparatus competence, community participation, utilization of information technology, organizational commitment, and internal government control systems. The type of research used is quantitative, using component-based or variant-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques with Partial Least Square (PLS) as a tool for conducting validity tests. Sampling using the method purposive sampling, thus obtaining 87 respondents with the criteria of village governments directly involved in administering village funds in Binuang District, Polewali Mandar Regency. The results of this study indicate that not all variables can influence accountability in village fund management in Binuang District. For example, village apparatus competence, community participation, information technology utilization, and internal government control systems have a positive effect on accountability in village fund management. However, organizational commitment does not affect accountability in village fund management. Therefore, accountability in village fund management has not been fully able to realize the achievement of good governance in Binuang District, Polewali Mandar Regency

Abstract

This article examines how customary legitimacy contributes to the reproduction of local political elite power in Bone Regency and how it is negotiated within formal state mechanisms. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), the study analyzes 200 peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2015 and 2025, retrieved from Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, and Garuda databases. The selected literature was screened through explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria and analyzed using thematic coding supported by NVivo 12 Pro, complemented by bibliometric mapping with VOSviewer. The findings reveal that customary legitimacy manifested through aristocratic titles, Bugis values such as ade’, siri’, and lempu, and kinship networks functions as symbolic and social capital in local political competition. Local elites actively reproduce these customary symbols through electoral campaigns, ritual participation, and genealogical narratives to strengthen political authority. The review also identifies recurring tensions between customary legitimacy and formal state administrative mechanisms, particularly in the recognition and verification of aristocratic titles; however, these tensions are largely managed through negotiation and institutional adaptation rather than open conflict. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the transformation of customary symbols and aristocratic status into political capital within modern democratic institutions, highlighting a hybrid configuration in which traditional authority is strategically integrated into formal state governance in Bone
