<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p><em>Process tracing</em> semakin populer digunakan dalam menguji atau mengembangkan teori berdasarkan sebab-akibat. Namun apa sebenarnya metode <em>process tracing</em>, dan bagaimana cara menggunakannya dalam penelitian empiris? Artikel ini menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan ini dengan terlebih dahulu merangkum <em>state-of-the-art </em>metode penelusuran proses, membedakannya dari pendekatan penelitian kualitatif konvensional, dan menunjukkan bagaimana peneliti dapat menerapkan metode ini dalam desain penelitian deduktif dan induktif. Selain itu, artikel kami juga menyajikan landasan ontologis, epistemologis dan aksiologis dari metode <em>process-tracing</em> dan menempatkannya dalam kerangka pemikiran neo-positivis daripada interpretatif. Analisis kami menunjukkan bahwa penelusuran proses menawarkan beberapa keuntungan bagi penelitian berorientasi proses, antara lain: memungkinkannya pengembangan penjelasan kausal lebih meyakinkan, mensistematisasi data ke dalam penjelasan yang terstruktur, dan menilai relevansi teori-teori yang berkembang kedalam realitas sosial secara sistematis dan lebih akurat. Artikel ini merupakan artikel berbahasa Indonesia pertama yang dapat menjadi panduan ringkas, namun komprehensif, bagi mahasiswa ilmu sosial dan ilmu politik untuk memahami dan mengaplikasikan metode <em>process tracing</em> kedalam riset secara efektif.</p> <p><strong>Kata kunci: </strong><em>process tracing, </em>penelusuran proses, <em>causal mechanism</em>, metodologi</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p><em>Process tracing has gained popularity as a method for testing and developing theories related to cause-and-effect in social reality. However, what exactly is process tracing, and how can it be utilized in empirical research? This article addresses these questions by first summarizing the current state-of-the-art process-tracing methods, distinguishing them from conventional qualitative research approaches, and demonstrating how researchers can apply these methods within deductive and inductive research designs. Additionally, the article discusses the ontological, epistemological, and axiological foundations of process tracing, situating it within a neo-positivist framework rather than an interpretive one. Our analysis suggests that process tracing offers several advantages for process-oriented research: it enables the development of more convincing causal explanations, organizes data into structured narratives, and regularly and accurately evaluates the relevance of theories to social reality. This article serves as the first comprehensive guide in the Bahasa for social and political sciences students, providing them with the understanding and tools necessary to apply the process tracing method in their research effectively.</em></p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong><em>process tracing, causal mechanism</em>, <em>methodology</em></p>Tauchid Komara YudaCahyani Widi Larasakti

https://journal.ugm.ac.id/v3/JSDS/article/view/11052
<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p> <p>Perempuan terlibat dalam berbagai sektor pekerjaan formal maupun informal, tetapi sering dianggap sebagai pekerja kelas dua. Di PT Perkebunan Teh Harum Melati, pengalaman perempuan pekerja jarang dibahas secara mendalam. Dengan menggunakan teori Feminist Standpoint dari Nancy Hartsock, penelitian ini mencoba memahami pengalaman unik perempuan yang bekerja di pabrik teh. Selain menghadapi tantangan di tempat kerja, mereka juga berperan dalam rumah tangga sebagai ibu dan istri, serta dalam komunitasnya. Penelitian kualitatif ini menggunakan metode studi kasus tunggal, dengan pengumpulan data berlangsung sejak Juni hingga Agustus 2023 di pabrik teh dan perumahan karyawan di Simalungun, Sumatera Utara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengalaman perempuan di tiga arena kehidupannya (rumah, kerja, dan komunitas) saling terkait dan membentuk pengalaman khas. Pengalaman bekerja bertahun-tahun meningkatkan rasa percaya diri dan keberanian mereka dalam merencanakan masa depan. Kekuatan mereka juga didukung oleh hubungan keluarga dan pertemanan.</p> <p><strong>Kata Kunci :</strong> pekerja perempuan, pengalaman, keluarga, tempat kerja</p> <p><strong>Abstract</strong></p> <p>Women are involved in various sectors of both formal and informal work, but they are often regarded as second-class workers. At PT Perkebunan Teh Harum Melati, the experiences of female workers are rarely explored in depth. By using Nancy Hartsock's Feminist Standpoint theory, this study seeks to understand the unique experiences of women working in the tea factory. In addition to facing challenges at work, they also play roles at home as mothers and wives, as well as within their communities. This qualitative study employs a single case study method, with data collection conducted from June to August 2023 at the tea factory and employee housing in Simalungun, North Sumatra. The findings show that women's experiences across the three spheres of life (home, work, and community) are interconnected and shape a distinctive experience. Years of work experience have enhanced their self-confidence and courage in planning for the future. Their strength is also supported by family and social relationships.</p> <p><strong>Keywords:</strong> working women, experiences, family, workplace</p>Prity NurpazirahMilda Longgeita Br Pinem
