Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency INTRODUCTION The village is an integral part of IndonesiaAos governmental system, possessing its own structure to manage and administer local community interests. The village head, as the highest authority in the village, plays a pivotal role in maintaining governance stability, upholding traditional values, and ensuring optimal delivery of public services. In exercising their authority, the village head is supported by the Village Consultative Body (Badan Permusyawaratan Desa or BPD), which functions as the legislative institution at the village level. The BPD holds the authority to establish village regulations, convey public aspirations, and perform oversight of village governance. According to Article 55 of Law No. 6 of 2014 concerning Villages, the BPD serves as an equal partner to the village head in the village policy-making process. However, in practice, the BPDAos function often fails to operate as intended, as observed in Marinding Village. Bajo Barat Subdistrict. Luwu Regency. Initial observations revealed that the BPD of Marinding Village has been relatively inactive in performing its duties, particularly in terms of disseminating village programs to the public. Interviews with local residents indicated that public aspirations are frequently left unexpressed due to the BPDAos lack of initiative in engaging directly with the community. Furthermore, several residents expressed concerns regarding the incentives received by BPD members, which they felt were not commensurate with their performance. This situation highlights a weakness in the application of discipline within the institution. In fact, discipline is a fundamental component in establishing a professional, ethical, and accountable working system. Discipline in the context of public organizations reflects compliance with rules, responsibility for assigned tasks, and commitment to expected outcomes. (Rivai, 2. stated that work discipline is a managerial tool used to communicate with employees, encouraging them to modify their behavior and raise awareness of the need to adhere to organizational rules and norms. Research by (Olivia, 2. found that a high level of discipline significantly contributes to employee performance at Bank Syariah Mandiri, which can reasonably be applied to village institutions as well. Additionally, a study by (Syafitri, 2. demonstrated that participative Jurnal Politico Vol. 25 No. 1 March 2025 Page: 58-74.

Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency leadership styles promote improved discipline among village officials, which in turn positively impacts the quality of public services. In another context, (Toa et al. , 2. emphasized the importance of combining professional . and discursive approaches in developing public policies in prism societies. Research by (Rauf, 2. also showed that the presence of internal control systems and individual discipline within village governments has a direct impact on the effectiveness of village development programs. In terms of performance evaluation, discipline is even considered one of the key indicators in assessing the effectiveness of village governance (Mustafa. , & Ridwan, 2. Based on the above explanation, this study aims to examine the implementation of disciplinary principles among members of the BPD in Marinding Village and its impact on institutional performance. In addition to filling a gap in the literature within the local context of Luwu Regency, the findings of this research are expected to provide strategic input for village governments in formulating more effective and productive capacity-building policies for village officials. Accordingly, the researcher has chosen the title: AiThe Implementation of Disciplinary Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. An LITERATURE REVIEW Discipline is a fundamental element in organizational governance, especially in the public sector, such as village institutions. Discipline not only reflects compliance with regulations but also signifies a commitment to responsibility, work ethics, and quality outcomes. According to (Rivai, 2. discipline serves as a managerial tool to guide and shape employee behavior so that it aligns with organizational norms and This is highly relevant in the context of the Village Consultative Body (BPD), where institutional effectiveness is largely determined by the discipline of its members in carrying out their legislative, oversight, and representative functions. Research by (Rastana. Yuliana. , & Lestari, 2. found that discipline is directly and positively correlated with work productivity. They concluded that village officials with strong commitment to time management, task execution, and attendance tend to demonstrate higher performance in public service delivery. This finding aligns Jurnal Politico Vol. 25 No. 1 March 2025 Page: 58-74. ISSN: p: 1829-6696, e: 2549-4716 Online journal web: https://ejurnal. id/index. php/POLITICO/ Putri. Lukman. Andi Uceng.

Luwu Regency with Locke and LathamAos Goal Setting Theory, which states that clear and challenging goals enhance individual focus and discipline in achieving them (Busro, 2. Within the framework of village governance, such goals may include addressing community aspirations, enforcing village regulations, and overseeing the performance of the village However, not all studies have identified a significant relationship between discipline and performance. For instance, (Uleng et al. , 2. found no meaningful effect of discipline on the performance of teachers at SMP Negeri 1 Nuha, suggesting that contextual variables such as organizational culture and leadership style also play crucial roles. In addition to discipline, communication is another critical variable that supports the performance of public officials. Effective communication ensures that information is conveyed accurately and efficiently, minimizing misunderstandings and enhancing team collaboration. (Busro, 2. defines communication as the process of transmitting and receiving messages that build shared understanding among individuals. This assertion is supported by studies from (Nur et al. , 2. and (Indriasari et al. , 2. which confirm that effective communication positively influences performance in the public sector. In institutional contexts such as the BPD, effective communication is necessary not only among its members but also with the village residents they represent. Such interaction is vital to ensure that public aspirations are effectively translated into village When communication breaks downAiwhether due to infrequent meetings, lack of program outreach, or insufficient two-way engagementAithe representative function of the BPD tends to decline, as evidenced in the case study of Marinding Village. Research by (Olivia, 2. also emphasizes that high levels of discipline empirically enhance the performance of officials at Bank Syariah Mandiri, and a similar assumption can be made for village institutions that operate under formal administrative Furthermore, a recent study by (Syafitri, 2. found that participative leadership styles improve discipline among village officials, ultimately leading to better public service delivery. (Rauf, 2. also underscores the importance of internal Jurnal Politico Vol. 25 No. 1 March 2025 Page: 58-74.

Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency control systems and personal discipline in maintaining the effectiveness of village development programs. Therefore, it can be concluded that discipline and communication are two interrelated components that play a crucial role in shaping the institutional performance of the BPD. This study aims to empirically examine how these two variables affect the performance of the BPD in Marinding Village, taking into account prior research findings and relevant theoretical frameworks. RESEARCH METHODS This research was conducted in Marinding Village. Bajo Barat District. Luwu Regency. South Sulawesi Province. This village has a population of around 1,181 people and consists of 344 heads of families. This location was chosen because of indications of weak function of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in channeling community aspirations and carrying out its role as a supervisor of village government The research was conducted from March to May 2025. The type of research used is a descriptive quantitative approach. This approach aims to identify and analyze the relationship between variables through numerical data and statistical testing. This study uses two variables, namely the independent variable (X) in the form of the application of the principle of discipline and the dependent variable (Y) in the form of BPD performance. In quantitative research, it is important to ensure the validity and reliability of the instrument so that the research results can be relied on and replicated for similar contexts (Ahmad, 2. The population in this study was the entire community of Marinding Village who were related to BPD activities. The population was set at 344 heads of families. The research sample was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of Based on the calculation, the number of samples obtained was 78 respondents. The sample selection was carried out randomly to ensure proportional representation of the population.

Luwu Regency behavior and implementation of BPD members' duties, such as attendance levels, time discipline, and participation in village meetings. The questionnaire was compiled using a Likert scale and consisted of closed and open questions. The questions in the questionnaire were designed to reveal public perceptions of BPD discipline and performance, as well as the factors that influence it (Sugiyono, 2. Meanwhile, literature studies were conducted to strengthen the theoretical basis and compare the results of the study with previous findings. The collected data were analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis techniques with the help of SPSS version 25 software. The analysis was carried out to assess the validity and reliability of the instrument, as well as to determine the relationship between variables through simple linear regression. This technique is used to predict the extent to which the application of the principle of discipline (X) affects BPD performance (Y). In addition, the results are tabulated using frequency and average scores based on the Likert scale (Sugiyono, 2. Research qualifications are taken based on five levels of division, according to Sugiyono, namely: Table 1.

Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency Discussion The results of the study show that the implementation of the principle of discipline in the Marinding Village Consultative Body (BPD) environment is generally in the good category. This is reflected in a number of main indicators, including punctuality in attendance at activities . %), implementation of tasks according to work standards . %), compliance with village regulations . %), and vigilance in carrying out tasks . %). These findings indicate that the majority of BPD members have carried out their functions in a disciplined and responsible manner, although consistency in their implementation still needs to be strengthened. In addition, the effectiveness indicator, which includes aspects of ethics and politeness in interacting, obtained the highest score of 82%. This achievement shows that BPD members have good communication skills and social ethics, and are able to maintain professionalism in public services. Meanwhile, the work environment factor, although it received a slightly lower score . %), was still considered quite conducive in supporting the implementation of tasks. This factor reflects the importance of a work atmosphere that supports collaboration between members in improving work discipline. In terms of individual character, a score of 74% on the aspects of responsibility and willingness to work indicates that BPD members have personalities that support This factor is an important foundation in strengthening institutional performance as a whole. In terms of performance, the responsibility indicator shows quite good results with values of 76% and 78%, indicating that BPD members have a high commitment to the tasks they are entrusted with. The level of work discipline also shows a positive value with an average of 74. 9%, showing that the principles of discipline have been consistently implemented by most members. The initiative indicator, which reflects the ability of BPD members to provide solutions to village problems, also shows quite good results with a score of 74%. However, this value shows that there is still room for developing proactive capacity in handling village dynamics more responsively. Overall, these results strengthen the finding that discipline plays an important role in Jurnal Politico Vol. 25 No. 1 March 2025 Page: 58-74.

Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency shaping the quality of institutional performance. The significant relationship between discipline and BPD performance, which is supported by the results of the linear regression statistical test, confirms that the higher the level of discipline of BPD members, the better their performance in carrying out their duties and responsibilities as representatives of the village community. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the study conducted on "Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Bajo Barat District. Luwu Regency", and based on the statistical tests that have been carried out, the following conclusions were obtained: The application of discipline principles to the performance of the BPD in Marinding Village has been running well. This is indicated by the average percentage of respondent responses of 74. 9%, which is included in the "good" category. The dimensions measured include punctual attendance, implementation of tasks according to work standards, compliance with regulations, vigilance, and ethics in interacting, which generally receive positive assessments from the community. Factors that influence the application of discipline principles to BPD performance include: Work environment factors, which received a score of 70%, indicating that the work atmosphere and interaction between members also affect discipline. Personality factors of BPD members, such as a sense of responsibility and willingness to work, received an average of 74%, reflecting the importance of personal character in supporting good work discipline. The research hypothesis stating that "The application of the principle of discipline has a positive and significant effect on the performance of BPD in Marinding Village" is proven to be accepted. This is based on the results of a simple linear regression analysis, where the coefficient of determination (RA) value was obtained at 0. 781 or 78. 1%, with a significance level of 0. <0. This shows that the application of the principle of discipline has a strong and significant effect on improving BPD performance. Jurnal Politico Vol. 25 No. 1 March 2025 Page: 58-74.

Sundari Implementation of Discipline Principles on the Performance of the Village Consultative Body (BPD) in Marinding Village. Luwu Regency Suggestion Capacity Building and Coaching of BPD Members, periodic training and coaching programs are needed to improve understanding and application of discipline principles in carrying out tasks, especially for new members or those who show low levels of discipline. Strengthening the Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System The village government together with related parties need to develop a measurable and transparent performance evaluation and monitoring system, so that the application of discipline principles can be maintained and improved consistently. Creating a Conducive Work Environment A supportive work environment, such as the availability of adequate facilities and infrastructure, harmonious working relationships, and appreciation for disciplined members, can encourage the creation of a more productive and professional work culture. For further researchers, it is recommended to develop this research by including other variables that have the potential to influence BPD performance, such as work motivation, leadership, organizational communication, or institutional work culture. In addition, a mixed methods approach . uantitative and qualitativ. can be used to gain a deeper understanding of the social and cultural factors that influence the discipline of village officials. Comparative research across villages or regions could also be conducted to assess whether similar results hold in different geographical and social contexts, thereby broadening the generalizability of the research findings.
