THE INFLUENCE OF LEADERSHIP ON LPD GROWTH WITH CULTURE AS A CODING VARIABLE

ABSTRACT


INTRODUCTION
The Village Credit Institution (LPD) is a financial institution owned by indigenous vilage domiciled in the Wewidangan of Pakraman Village. LPD's bond with the community in Bali is increasingly close because it has an important role and is integrated with traditional villages in Bali with the task of collecting funds from village communities in the form of dhana sepelan (similar to avings) and dhana sesepelan (similar to deposits) which are then managed and given back in the form of credit to the village community. The needs of the Balinese people related to this indigenous villagebased financial institution became well created, until LPD developed from year to year. Data in 2020 states that there are 1,493 LPDs spread throughout Bali with annual developments presented in Table 1. The enthusiasm of the Balinese people with the existence of LPD also makes their assets grow significantly. The assets owned by LPD vary according to its development. The existence of this asset is important because it can determine the sustainability of the LPD itself. The development of the number of asset owned can be seen in Table 2. The results of the study stated that there was uncertainty about the influence of leadership on performance. Several research results state that there is a significant influence between leadership roles on performance (Jopanda, 2021;Purwanto et al., 2020;Sari & Kistyanto, 2020;Ula & Suhariadi, 2019), while there are also conflicting results on performance (Handoyo et al., 2015;Ilmawan et al., 2017;Listiani et al., 2020;Manalu, 2020). Observing the discrepancy between the results of the study onperformance, it is predicted that there are other variables as coding variables to the relationship between the two variables. The Predicting Coding Variable in this study is Culture.
Experts in the field of organizational behavior over the past decade adopted a culture that has a relationship with performance (Al-Ali et al., 2017;Budiantara et al., 2022;González-Navarro et al., 2019;Jufrizen & Rahmadhani, 2020;Wirawan & Nathania, 2018;Yudo, 2015). One of the cultures that is closely attached to the Balinese people is the Tri Hita Karana culture (Prena & Evitasari, 2019;Surya et al., 2017). The choice of Tri Hita Karana Culture as an organizational culture variable is based on the consideration that LPD as an organization that grows and takes root in Bali whose members of the organization are Balinese people who are Hindus strongly believe in THK Culture as a teaching that leads humans to the welfare of birth and mind, so it is expected to affect performance (Gunawan, 2009;Mahyuni & Dewi, 2020;Prena & Evitasari, 2019;Sumadi et al., 2022). THK culture can also be used as a modulator to improve performance (Prena & Evitasari, 2019;Sapitri & Pancasasti, 2022). Based on this description, this study aims to examine 1) the influence of Asta Brata leadership on LPD growth in Bali, 2) the influence of THK culture on LPD growth in Bali, and 3) the role of THK culture in moderating Asta Brata's leadership on the growth of LPD in Bali.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Leadership is a strategic part of an organization's activities (Paais & Pattiruhu, 2020). Leadership is a process by which a person can become a leader through continuous activities to influence his followers to achieve the goals of an organization or company Belief in the concept of leadership in the life of the Balinese Hindu community, one of which adheres to the teachings of Asta Brata. This teaching defines that there are eight qualities that a leader must possess for himself and his organization (Anindita & Hamidah, 2020;Hidayat & Setiyowati, 2017). The eight parts have internalization to be implemented by a leader in the form of: 1) Indra Brata: the ability to provide prosperity in every activity and negate evils such as water that cleaning dirt; 2) Yama Brata: the ability to deliver justice and enforce it without discrimination; 3) Surya Brata: the ability is like the Sun's (solar) properties that are able to encourage and bring sustenance to all; 4) Candra Brata: the ability to provide illumination in the dark makes it firm and provides guidance in difficult moments; 5) Vayu Brata: the ability to accompany and pay attention to situations, be intelligent, and selective in making decisions for the benefit of all; 6) Bhumi Brata: The ability to have patience, because the earth bears all that is good and bad; 7) Varuna Brata: the ability of broad insight in creating in various situations; 8) Agni Brata : The ability to rule wisely to root out the roots of greed, anger and delusions (Hidayat & Setiyowati, 2017;Selvarajah et al., 2017).
Tri Hita Karana is a Hindu cosmology which is a universal and strong philosophy of life in achieving the happiness of its people (Ngurah Santika & Suastika, 2022). Tri Hita Karana as a guide to balinese culture-based life emphasizes harmonization to achieve happiness, which consists of three parts, namely: Parhyangan teaches how to achieve a harmonious relationship with God; pawongan teaches manners to create harmonious relationships with others, and palemahan is taught how to obtain a harmonious relationship with nature (Prena & Evitasari, 2019;Sukarma, 2016;Widnyani et al., 2022).
LPD growth adopts M. Porter's industrial growth pattern. The meeting emphasizes that there are variables that affect LPD growth in the form of 1) Threat of Newcomers, 2) Supply Power of suppliers, 3) Strength of Buyer Bidding, 4) Threat of Substitute Products and 5 ) Competition (Arif & Wibawa, 2022;Meftahudin et al., 2018).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Preliminary test results include trials of research instruments and tests of classical assumptions which can be seen in Table 3. The instruments used in this study have met validity and reliability tests. The results of the validity and reliability test show that the value of the correlation coefficient of the instrument is greater than 0.3 which means that the instrument can measure the measured variabel. The reliability test results showed that the value of Cronbach's Alpha was greater than 0.6 which means that inthe instrument was declared reliable. Normality test results showed a significant 0.564 which means that residual regression is normally distributed. The results of the heteroscedasticity test show a heteroscedasticity-free result where the Glejser test is above the 5% confidence level. The Tolerance value in the multicollinearity test for the Asta Brata Leadership and THK Culture variables showed above 0.10, while the VIF value was below 10, so there were no symptoms of multicollinearity.
Simple regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) were used to analyze Asta Brata's leadership variables on LPD growth, THK Culture variables on LPD growth, and Asta's leadership interactions Brata and THK Culture against LPD growth. Table 4 shows the results of the análisis. Brata are believed that the community will be able to nurture the community they lead. In the midst of the rampant crisis of trust in today's leaders, the eight traits contained in Asta Brata's leadership will be able to increase LPD Growth.
Leadership towards LPD Growth increased after being interacted with THK Culture.
The results of the test show that the role of moderation of the THK Culture variable on the Asta Brata Leadership variable is reinforcing. This means that the implementation of Asta Brata's Leadership which is getting stronger followed by the application of THK Culture will jointly increase LPD Growth in Bali. The application of THK Culture provides the view that in every planning decision-making and supervision must be based on three things, namely Parahyangan, Pawongan and Pelemahan. This must work together and be maintained.

CONCLUSION
There is a positive and significant influence on LPD Growth in Bali. This means that the better the implementation of Asta Brata's Leadership , the more it will increase LPD Growth. There is a positive and significant influence of THK culture on LPD Growth in Bali. This means that the better the application of THK Culture, the more it will increase LPD Growth. THK culture reinforces the influence of Leadership on LPD Growth. This means that the role of THK variable moderation on LPD Growth is strengthening. It is recommended that the Bali LPD Steamer senantiasa apply Asta Brata's leadership and THK culture well to increase LPD growth in Bali. The THK culture that has been inherent in itself and also in LPD governance can strengthen the influence of leadership on LPD Growth. There is still considerable opportunity for further research in researching other variables to determine lpd growth-inducing variables.
