| dc.description.abstract | This research is entitled Online Women's Ojek (Study of Women Who Work as Online
Ojek Drivers in Medan City). In this study, the aim is to describe women online motorcycle
taxi drivers living their roles in work, from women with families to single women looking for
an economy for their families or for themselves.
The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with data collection
techniques, namely observation, in-depth interviews, and building rapport with informants. In
addition, this study uses data from journals, the internet, and from books
The results of the study show that women are able to carry out various activities both in
the domestic space and in the public space. Activities carried out in the domestic room for
informants who were married before going to work they had to prepare breakfast, wake up the
children, sweep and wash. Meanwhile, in public, one of their activities is working as female
online motorcycle taxi drivers, the difference is that women who are not yet married, they only
prepare themselves to work, because they are not as busy as married informants. Women who
work as online motorcycle taxi drivers aim to help their husbands and families as well as for
themselves to improve the economy. There are also informants who only fill in the blanks and
prefer to become online motorcycle taxi drivers because of flexible working hours rather than
working in a company. Informants remain optimistic even though they ride motorbikes far from
point to point but they must be able to complete their work to customers. Even though you
often feel tired, the work must still be lived and grateful for in order to meet the needs of your
family and yourself. They can survive in public spaces because they are able to form social
communication, namely an interaction that exists between drivers and customers, social
communication occurs when transacting through applications or face to face or via messages.
Social communication is carried out so that there is no miscommunication between the driver
and the customer which can be detrimental to both parties. Here the researcher relates the
community to how they respond to women online motorcycle taxi drivers and hopes that the
community can accept and support the profession of women who work as road users without
rejection. | en_US |
