Women's Leadership Aspirations in Higher Education: Navigating the Cultural and Societal Barriers
Abstract
Women are poorly represented in leadership positions across industries including in higher education. This underrepresentation is not simply a result of institutional biases or individual choices made by anyone but is deeply rooted in the societal and cultural dynamics. The primary influence on women's leadership aspirations is the perception of interpersonal relationships and support systems. This aligns with findings from Salas‐Lopez et al., who emphasize the importance of having a critical mass of women in leadership roles to foster an environment conducive to gender equity. The researchers have used the systematic review of literature using PRISMA for this study. By blending empirical research with theoretical perspectives, they explore the influences of these external pressures in the women's pursuit of their ambitions of being in leadership positions in the higher education sector, not forgetting about her challenges in navigating through the social stigmas and the family responsibilities.
