DYNAMICS OF VILLAGE HEAD CONFLICT WITH VILLAGE APPARATUS IN DUKUHMOJO VILLAGE, MOJOAGUNG, JOMBANG

In accordance with Law no. 6/2014 villages are the subject of development, this can be seen in
Article 20 which explains that villages are given authority based on their original rights and
village-scale local authority. Villages have the potential to implement development and are led
by the village head as the highest authority through direct, open, democratic elections. This
research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out
using interviews, observations and documents, while determining informants was carried out
using purposive techniques. Meanwhile, data analysis uses a qualitative analysis model with
data validity techniques using triangulation. The results of the research found the dynamics of
conflict between the village head and village officials: (1) Manifest forms of conflict in the
form of visible resistance from village officials regarding the presence of a new village head,
in the form of verbal disagreements in village meetings, obstructing various programs and
policies and showing an attitude of dislike through attitudes shown on a daily basis. (2) A form
of latent conflict in the form of feelings that occur among officials to the point that they often
speak ill of several groups of Dukuhmojo residents. This condition creates conditions that are
not conducive to the running of government as well as pessimism among the community
regarding the development that will be carried out by the village head, although in the end the
village head uses various methods to carry out reconciliation through a systemic and personal
approach.
