基于15个省（区、市）5971份农户微观数据，采用结构方程模型，实证分析了村干部领导力对农民乡村治理效能感的影响。研究发现：村干部领导力对农民乡村治理效能感具有显著正向影响；机制分析表明，村干部领导力通过农民村庄认同感和民主参与两个渠道对农民乡村治理效能感产生独立中介效应和链式中介效应，其中独立中介效应分别占总效应的57.3%和9.0%，链式中介效应占11.1%；异质性分析发现，相比于西部地区，东、中部地区村干部领导力对农民乡村治理效能感的影响更为明显。因此，应选优配强村干部队伍、增强农民村庄认同感和完善民主参与机制，以提升乡村治理水平。

Based on microdata from 5971 farmers across 15 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities in China, this study uses a structural equation model to analyze the impact of village cadre leadership on farmers’ perceptions of rural governance effectiveness. The findings show that village cadre leadership significantly enhances these perceptions. Mechanism analysis shows that leadership exerts both independent and chain mediation effects through two channels: farmers’ sense of village identity and democratic participation. The independent mediation effects account for 57.3% and 9.0% of the total effects, respectively, while the chain mediation effects contribute 11.1%. Heterogeneity analysis reveals that the impact of village cadre leadership on farmers’ perceptions of governance effectiveness is more pronounced in the eastern and central regions than in the western region. It is recommended to select and strengthen the village cadre team, foster a stronger sense of village identity among farmers, and refine democratic participation mechanisms to improve the level of rural governance.
