Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyse the effect of leadership on volunteer performance of the ecovillage community in the Citarum watershed, the dirtiest and most polluted river in the world. Data were obtained from 100 respondents of the ecovillage community and analysed using structural equation modelling. Results showed that leadership was unable to instil optimal commitment in the community. The indirect effect of leadership on performance was 0.635, indicating a strong influence on the performance of volunteers. The leaders with the ability to conduct their duties properly increased commitment and creativity, as reflected in the performance of the ecovillage community.
