Abstract

The phenomenon of “party switching” among members of the Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) in East Java indicates a low level of affective commitment to political parties, which in turn poses a threat to the stability of local democracy. This study examines the effects of transformational leadership and social identity on the affective commitment of DPRD members, with social exchange serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative design using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study involved 287 active DPRD members from cities and regencies in East Java, representing five Regional Coordination Bodies (Bakorwil). The research instruments included the Affective Commitment Scale (α = 0.85), the MLQ Transformational Leadership scale (α = 0.92), the Three-Factor Social Identity scale (α = 0.88), and the Amalgamated Social Exchange scale (α = 0.90). The results indicate that social identity has the strongest influence on affective commitment, followed by transformational leadership, while social exchange was found to partially mediate these relationships. These findings underscore social identity as the primary predictor of commitment within Indonesia’s collectivist political context.

Abstract

Politics has long been constructed as a masculine arena dominated by discourses of power, authority, and instrumental rationality. The presence of female legislators disrupts this hegemony by foregrounding empathetic modes of political communication that emphasize inclusivity, relational engagement, and responsiveness to social realities. These communicative practices not only contest dominant masculine norms in political discourse but also expand deliberative spaces and support the formulation of gender-responsive public policies. Accordingly, this study examines how female legislators in the Surabaya Legislative Council construct and enact empathetic political communication as a core expression of their political identity. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research employed in-depth interviews and participant observation of eight female legislators from several commissions. The results of the study show that empathetic political communication is enacted through a dialogical and reflective communication approach characterized by emotional involvement, trust building, knowledge sharing, friendship, adaptation, demonstrating competence, and family harmony. These characteristics serve as strategies for navigating the male dominated political arena through three aspects: substantive readiness, women's representation, and soft power. Such communication practices not only provide female legislators with strategic advantages in a male dominated political arena but also contribute to reshaping the discourse of political leadership in Indonesia. This study offers practical implications for strengthening gender equality in legislative communication and provides a framework for integrating empathy into political discourse.
