Abstract

This study was motivated by the diverse experiences of female cadres
in their organizational lives within the Kesatuan Mahasiswa Hindu
Dharma Indonesia (KMHDI), which were shaped by their
backgrounds, social interactions, and meaning-making processes amid
the continued limited representation of women in organizational
leadership. This study aimed to understand the experiences of female
cadres within KMHDI and analyze the meanings they attributed to
these experiences, their motives for action, and the relationships
among habitus, capital, and the organizational field. The study
employed a qualitative approach using Alfred Schutz's social
phenomenology as the primary theoretical perspective and Pierre
Bourdieu's Theory of Practice as a supporting framework. Informants
were selected through purposive sampling and consisted of one key
informant and nine female cadres. Data were collected through indepth
interviews,
observation,
and
documentation
and
analyzed
using

Colaizzi's

phenomenological analysis method. The findings showed
that the experiences of female cadres were understood through the
concepts of lifeworld, stock of knowledge, intersubjectivity, becausemotives,

and in-order-to motives. These experiences generated new
meanings that encouraged greater confidence in expressing opinions,
participation in decision-making, readiness to assume responsibility,
and the strengthening of social networks. From Bourdieu's perspective,
these experiences were associated with the formation of habitus and
the accumulation of cultural, social, and symbolic capital, which were
manifested in organizational practices within the field. The study
concluded that the experiences of female cadres constituted a dynamic
process of experiencing, meaning-making, and acting that contributed
to strengthening women's participation within KMHDI.
