Abstract

Mechanization in the tea harvesting process commonly leads to gender imbalance, as male workers receive more benefit than female.  However, this phenomenon does not the case in Gambung Tea Plantation.  Female participation in the machine harvesting is high as they become the operator of tea plucking machines. This phenomenon is worth to study in particular to explore female workers’ personal experience in mechanical tea plucking. This research applies descriptive qualitative method with phenomenology approach. Female and male machine picker becomes the main subject in this study. Primary data were collected through observation, documentation, interviews and Focused Group Discussion with female and male tea plucker. Triangulation techniques were applied to ensure data validity. This study suggests that the mechanization process in Gambung Tea Plantation has created a new gender division of labour where male and female work together in a team to operate the machine. Female workers show quality of work better than male worker. Amidst the efforts of female workers to  participate in the mechanization there are risks and constraints for them, such as less-gender friendly equipment, lack of access and control to resources, cultural norms, values in the society.

Abstract

Previous research has shown that musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the barriers for women to adopting tea-picking mechanization technology. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are defined as a group of injuries that affect the musculoskeletal system including nerves, tendons, muscles, and supporting structures. MSDs are also referred to as injuries due to overactivity or from using a device excessively. Some research results significantly show that gender greatly affects the level of risk of autonomic complaints and that women are more likely to show musculoskeletal symptoms than men. This study examines the comparison of musculoskeletal disorders due to the use of tea picking machines for male and female pickers.  Data collection on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) complaints was carried out using the Nordic Body Map instrument, in the form of an open questionnaire by interviewing mechanical tea pickers directly. From the data obtained, the average difference in scores for male mechanical tea pickers is 5.3 while the average difference in scores for female mechanical tea pickers is 9. This means that the average female mechanical tea pickers experience musculoskeletal complaints 70% more height than male mechanical tea pickers. MSDs complaints comparison between male and female tea pickers with NBM measurement is 5:9. In conclusion, female mechanical tea pickers suffer from MSDs almost twice as much as males. Considering that the majority of tea pickers are women, gender-responsive machine design interventions are needed.

Abstract

This article examines the socio-cultural factors that shape women’s participation in empowerment group at a tea plantation area in Highland West Java. Applying a qualitative ethnographic method, the study draws on data obtained through participant observation and in-depth interviews with members of a women’s empowerment group, named Kalintem Sabeungkeutan. The results of this study suggest that women’s participation in empowerment activities is shaped by interrelated factors, including social capital and networks, gender relations, prevailing norms, and local cultural values. Women’s participation unfolds through everyday negotiations within household and community contexts, particularly in relation to domestic responsibilities and social expectations. Social capital, manifested in trust and a sense of togetherness, facilitates engagement in collective activities, while gendered divisions of labour and subtle social norms may constrain participation. For the women involved, empowerment is recognised through practical and relational experiences, such as gaining space to learn, feeling socially accepted, and contributing to family and community life. At the same time, differences in values, orientations toward learning, and norms of reciprocity shape who remains involved and who gradually withdraws. This study highlights the necessity of developing empowerment strategies that are culturally grounded and inclusive. Recognising empowerment as a socially embedded and relational process, this will enable women to sustain participation within their communities. The practical implications suggest the importance of expanding social capital from bonding to bridging and designing empowerment initiatives that account for women’s domestic responsibilities to enhance inclusivity and sustainability.
