ABSTRAKRiset ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi motif pemilihan skema pembiayaan Pengembangan Usaha Agribisnis Perdesaan (PUAP), mengetahui faktor apa saja yang mempengaruhi kinerja PUAP, serta menguji apakah kinerja PUAP syariah berbeda dengan PUAP konvensional di Jawa Tengah. Menggunakan metode kualitatif dan kuantitatif dengan pendekatan multiple regression dummy variable, 185 manajer LKMA PUAP menjadi responden penelitian ini dengan pendekatan purposive sampling. Hasil riset menunjukkan PUAP syariah dipilih karena motif pertimbangan agama (40,6%), sementara LKMA PUAP konvensional dipilih alasan praktis (35,3%) dan ekonomi (30,2%). Variabel bebas skema pembiayaan (Sharia), usia LKMA, jumlah anggota, usia dan pendidikan manajer, modal, biaya, kredit, utang, dan kawasan secara simultan berpengaruh nyata terhadap kinerja LKMA. Secara parsial, pengaruh setiap variabel bebas terhadap kinerja bervariasi. Dari sisi likuiditas (Quick Ratio) dan profitabilitas (NPM), kinerja PUAP syariah relatif lebih baik dari yang konvensional. Skema syariah hanya berkorelasi negatif dengan kinerja aktivitas (ATO). Dan, terhadap kinerja solvabilitas (DER), syariah dan konvensional tidak berpengaruh nyata.
