| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of female leadership subordination
within youth organizations composed of Nias community members, specifically the
Angowuloa Mahasiswa Nias (AMN) organization in Medan at Sari Mutiara
Indonesia University. The primary focus of this research is to identify the forms of
gender-based subordination, the underlying causes, and their impact on the role
and participation of women within the organization’s leadership structures. It is
expected that this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of gender
dynamics within the AMN Medan youth organization and serve as a basis for
developing more inclusive and equitable policies. The research employs a
qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were gathered through in-depth
interviews, participatory observation, literature review, and document analysis.
The findings indicate that female leadership subordination in AMN Medan
manifests in several ways: male dominance in strategic decision-making positions,
task allocation that tends to assign women to domestic-type roles, a lack of
appreciation for women’s opinions, and minimal female representation in key
organizational forums. The causes include socio-cultural constructions that
relegate women to secondary positions, pervasive gender stereotypes, and a lack of
awareness and support for women’s participation in leadership roles.
This study contributes to sociological research by offering deeper insights into how
subordination operates in youth organizations, particularly within the Nias
community. | en_US |
