This research has several limitations that need to be recognised. Firstly, the scope of the study is limited, so the results may not be generalisable to other kecamatan or kabupaten with different characteristics. In addition, the quantitative approach used does not reveal other qualitative dynamics or factors that could provide a deeper understanding of village financial management behaviour. Future research is recommended to expand the study area so that the results are more representative for a wider regional context. In addition, it is recommended to add other variables to the research model to provide a more comprehensive picture of the factors that influence village financial management performance. The use of mixed methods can also be considered to explore qualitative information that can enrich quantitative analysis, resulting in more in-depth and applicable findings for the development of village governance.
