Abstract :

This study aims to analyze the influence of competence, organizational commitment, community participation, budget goal clarity, and the utilization of information technology on village fund management. The research method employed is quantitative with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 67 respondents in Balangan Regency. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that competence has a negative and significant effect on village fund management, while community participation and the utilization of information technology have a positive and significant effect. On the other hand, organizational commitment and budget goal clarity do not have a significant effect. These findings highlight the importance of community involvement and the implementation of information technology in promoting transparency and accountability in village fund management. The study also emphasizes the need to improve training and understanding among village officials regarding the objectives of programs and financial management systems.
