Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the productive work of married Samawa (an ethnic group in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia) women from an ethno-economic perspective. This study used qualitative ethnomethodology to identify the ethno-economic factors that encouraged these women to be productive. The sources of data were collected from married women from the Samawa ethnic group (key informant), their family members, and related individuals (for validity testing). The findings revealed that ethno-economic factors affecting these women’s productivity included their level of education, local wisdom, wages, their husband’s salary, and their ownership of household assets. The women had a positive attitude towards being a working woman as it increased their self-esteem and self-worth, and encouraged them to pay close attention to their appearance and to appreciate their husband’s work. Being a working woman also improved the women’s relationships with their spouses. Samawa women worked to maintain household economic security and for social reasons rather than for gender equality. They considered working as a devotion to God. Men were still considered as the head of the family and the breadwinner, while women played multiple roles as wives (reproductive work) and working women (productive work). From this ethno-economic perspective, a double income was more beneficial than a single income.
