This study aims to describe and explain the role of organizational structure, cultural capital, credit risk in improving the financial performance of Village Credit Institutions (LPD) in Bali. Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) is a micro finance organization based in the scope of Balinese traditional villages. More specifically, LPD consists of indigenous people who are very thick with the culture that grows and develops in the community so that activities in achieving organizational goals can be achieved through cultural capital collaboration. Cultural capital has existed and developed as a community identity that includes collective culture and organizational culture.

The results showed that cultural capital is able to strengthen the organizational structure, reduce credit risk, improve efficiency, and financial performance of LPDs. Although in the conditions of the Covid-19 Pandemic, LPDs actually made expenditures to provide massive assistance. The novelty raised in this research is (1) cultural capital is part of intellectual capital, (2) LPD is able to suppress agency conflicts which create a spirit of collaboration, and finally (3) LPD is a hybrid organization, one side moves with financial goals but also on the social side.
