Rural economic institutions play a crucial role in local economies but also pose challenges to achieving economic self-sufficiency in rural areas.

Specifically, the research aims to investigate the impact of leadership competence and job satisfaction on BUMDes' business performance. The study utilizes quantitative methods and data analysis through SPSS V24. The findings indicate that leadership capabilities, core competence, and job satisfaction significantly influence business performance. Leadership capabilities play a mediating role in the relationship between core competence and business performance, as well as between job satisfaction and business performance. These results provide valuable insights for BUMDes in Tabanan Regency to enhance their effectiveness and impact on rural economic development. These results provide valuable insights for BUMDes in Tabanan Regency to enhance their effectiveness and impact on rural economic development. The study suggests that, to improve the performance and impact of BUMDes, these organizations should focus on leadership development, core competence enhancement, and measures to enhance job satisfaction among their members.
