Investment Motivation of Village Community Leaders in Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes)

Abstract

This study aims to understand, explore the motivations and values ​​that encourage village community leaders to become investors and invest in Bumdes. This research uses a phenomenological research design. The phenomenological design was chosen because this design allows researchers to understand the life experience of a person or group, in this case BUMDes investors, for an event that is experienced, namely making investment decisions in BUMDes. This research was conducted at BUMDes Posi-Posi located in Guaemaadu Village, Jailolo District, West Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province. The results of the research found indicate that the objectives of BUMDes Posi-Posi have not been fully realized. The significant increase in the productivity of the village community at this time cannot be felt because there are still very few productive economic businesses and micro-enterprises in Guaemaadu Village.
