Abstract

Previous studies that have been conducted in relation to women’s work ethics in traditional society seem to inadequately generalize the holistic women’s work ethics of tradional society in general. This article was intended to explain another reality found in Tangkahen Dayak moslem society, Indonesia, that is different from general views telling that women in traditional society are not financially productive, have economics dependency to men, and tend to be lazy. This current study was set as qualitative study by using phenomenological approach. The data were selected through observation, interviews, and documentary study. It was found from the result of study that double role that is played by the women of Tangkahen Dayak Moslem have no impact to their productivity and their household chores. In fact, income those women earned from their work can sustain the economic condition of Tangkahen Dayak Moslem families. Thus, it can be concluded that not all women in traditional society have low work ethics. At this stage, social values and norms that are embedded in a society have major influences on realization of women’s work ethics. The social values and norms embedded in Tangkahen Dayak Moslem were found to be a major factor that is able to support and improve women’s work ethics. Accordingly, the general negative stigma about women’s work ethics in traditional society can be proven wrong by the reality of women’s work ethics in Tangkahen Dayak Moslem society. In other words, negative views about women’s work ethics in traditional society only occured in certain communities and can not be used to generalize all women’s work ethics in general traditional society.

Abstract

  This study challenges the dominant assumption that women in traditional societies are economically dependent, unproductive, and confined to domestic roles. Focusing on the Dayak Moslem women in Tangkahen village, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, this research aims to reveal a contrasting reality that defies such generalizations. Situated within the broader discourse on gender, labor, and work ethics, the study explores how socio-cultural and religious values influence women’s roles in sustaining family economies. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, prolonged observations, and documentary studies. Findings indicate that the women of Tangkahen perform dual roles—managing household duties while actively participating in income-generating activities such as farming, trading, and rubber tapping—without compromising their domestic responsibilities. These roles are deeply rooted in cultural, spiritual, and economic motivations      and are perceived not as burdens but as expressions of agency and social identity. The study concludes that women's work ethics in traditional societies are contingent upon embedded social norms, religious beliefs, and local gender constructs. Thus, the generalized negative perceptions about women's work ethics in traditional communities are not universally valid and must be reassessed through culturally grounded and context-sensitive inquiry.
