This study aims to examine the transformational leadership approach of the Village Head in improving the work motivation of village officials in Dayung Village, Ledo District, Bengkayang Regency. This research was motivated by changes in employees' work motivation that affected the level of discipline among village officials after the inauguration of a new Village Head in 2022. Prior to this leadership change, Dayung Village experienced a decline in work motivation, which negatively impacted the discipline of village officials. This was reflected in their low attendance at the village office, resulting in inadequate public services for the community. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the Village Head, village officials, and community members. The data were analyzed through data collection, data reduction, and data coding. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has been implemented in Dayung Village through the four dimensions of transformational leadership, namely idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration. The Village Head's exemplary leadership contributed to improving the discipline and sense of responsibility of village officials. Inspirational motivation successfully enhanced employees' enthusiasm for work and improved the quality of public services. Intellectual stimulation encouraged the development of village officials' competencies, while individualized consideration fostered positive working relationships and increased employees' sense of appreciation. Overall, the findings demonstrate that transformational leadership plays a significant role in enhancing work motivation, which positively influences work enthusiasm, discipline, and responsibility among village officials. Consequently, these improvements contribute to better public service quality and more effective village governance.
