Abstract

This study aimed to examine the influence of masculinity ideology and gender role orientation towards self esteem of pastors’ husbands in Batak Karo Protestant Church (GBKP). Being pastor’s husband in GBKP community is not easy as he should maintain relationship with family and congregation. The demands of wife’s time-consuming duties make the husband taking care of household chores. This demand affects to the husband’s orientation while doing household chores. Moreover, this demand generally affects to his self esteem as a man. As a man of Karo tribe, the pastor’s husband has been exposed to patrilineal culture since early age. In this culture, man is expected to accomplish his role as a man. Gender role socialisation since childhood by family or community forms ideology of being a man or called masculinity ideology. A total of seventy-nine pastor’s husbands of GBKP were interviewed, with the following criteria: having a minimum one year of marriage and have a child, from Karo tribe, not a priest, becoming a GBKP fellowship since they are single. The study found that masculinity ideology did not significantly affect to the priests’ husbands’ self-esteem, nevertheless gender role orientation significantly affected to the husbands.
