This study examines the apparatus competence, compensation, and organizational commitment influence on village performance through village apparatus performance (study in villages in Aceh Tengah district). The population was all village apparatus from 14 sub-districts consisting of 295 villages. The village apparatus in this research consisted of 3 (three) people, namely: Banta, the village secretariat, and the regional apparatus. So, the total population was 885 people (295 villages x 3 people). The research sample was a part of the village apparatus in each village in Aceh Tengah District. The sample was taken based on Probability Random Sampling with the Simple Random Sampling technique so that a research sample of 275 people was obtained. Data were analyzed using the SEM-AMOS, and also Sobel calculator. The analysis concluded that the apparatus competence significantly affected village apparatus performance; compensation significantly affected village apparatus performance; organizational commitment significantly affected village apparatus performance; village apparatus performance significantly affected village performance; apparatus competence significantly affected village performance; compensation significantly affected village performance; organizational commitment significantly affected village performance; village apparatus performance mediated the apparatus competence influence on village performance; village apparatus performance mediated the compensation influence on village performance; and village apparatus performance mediated the organizational commitment influence on village performance. It was also found that village apparatus performance also functioned as a partial mediator for the apparatus competence path influencing village performance, and as a full mediator for the compensation path influencing village performance and the commitment path influencing village performance. Thus, the results of this research as a whole prove that the model for improving village performance in Aceh Tengah District is a function of increasing apparatus competence, and adjusting compensation so that it can support village apparatus performance.
