Barriers to Women's Leadership in Higher Education: A Quantitative and Qualitative Study
Abstract
Women university administrators are confronted with various challenges that impede their career growth and professional growth. This research assesses the most frequent challenges to university women leaders in Andhra Pradesh, including society culture, gender discrimination in leadership choices, poor mentorship programs, financial issues, and labor discrimination. The mixed-method research design employed qualitative and quantitative data to determine the most severe challenges and effective interventions. The results of the study indicate that socio-cultural norms, institution policies, and systemic biases are the greatest causes of future narrowing of women leaders. The study also concludes that organisation change, mentoring programmes, policy-making with the gender perspective incorporated, and policy changes are all paramount in an effort to attain gender balance among leadership roles in higher education institutions.
