Women Supporting Future Women Leaders in Higher Education: Stories of Encouragement and Discouragement
Abstract
This chapter explores the impact of the social cognitive factors of motivation, self-efficacy, and self-regulation on women related to their pursuit or avoidance of leadership roles in higher education. The chapter begins with a review of research related to the connection between Bandura's social cognitive theory and decisions women make regarding their leadership path. Case studies from interviews with women academics in higher education will be interwoven throughout the chapter to support and expand the existing literature. The case studies will present a range of experiences across a variety of fields including social sciences, education, business, and STEM disciplines. A qualitative analysis of the interviews is presented and connected to existing literature and theory. The chapter closes with recommendations for institutions of higher education in providing support for future women leaders. The recommendations focus on women's leadership training programs and mentoring that incorporate the social cognitive factors into the programming.
