Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the self-perceived leadership styles, range and adaptability of women managers in higher education and non-education management positions. Specifically, the study sought to investigate the: (1) self-perceived leadership styles and adaptability of women managers in higher education and non-education, (2) self-perceived leadership styles and adapt ability of entry, middle, and upper level managers in higher education and non-education, (3) relationship between background and self-perceived leadership style and adapt ability, and (4) self-perceived leadership style and adaptability of the sample compared to the normed group of managers. The sample consisted of a systematically selected population of 185 women managers in higher education and 185 women managers in non-education positions. Each was mailed two questionnaires asking for biographical data and self-perceived leadership behavior data. The Leader Effectiveness and Adaptability Description developed by Hersey and Blanchard (1973) and Demographic Questionnaire developed by the researcher were used. Usable participant responses were obtained from 69 percent of the sample population. Analysis of variance was used to assess the difference between self-perceived leadership style and adaptability of groups using occupational background and using management level as independent variables. Chi-square crosstabulations were used to assess differences between groups in the sample and develop a profile of the woman manager in Oregon. Pearson Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to correlate styles and adaptability with age and years of experience. Analysis revealed a significant difference at the .05 level between managers in higher education and noneducation in Style 4 (low relationship, low task; delegating). Pearson Product Moment formula showed a correlation with age and style and with years of experience and adapt ability. Cross-tabulations indicated leadership training had an effect on management level for managers in higher education. There were no significant differences in the sample of women managers and managers in the normed group. Occupational background and leadership training significantly affected the self-perceived leadership styles of women managers. Managers in higher education indicated more formal education, formal leadership training and had more job responsibilities. Managers in non-education were generally younger, more likely to be in an entry level position, and had more responsibility for teaching. The sample population fell within the "average" range for self-perceived leadership style and adaptability with an overall style profile similar to managers in the normed group.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of women in the workplace has rapidly advanced and changed within the previous decade, leading to a current position in which women are taking over leadership roles and being offered these positions more than ever before. However, a gap still exists with the representation of women in the workforce especially in power positions and roles of authority in organizations. While the representation of women in leadership roles is impressive and exciting for the future, women still face many challenges when taking over these positions of power and face many issues related to gender inclusivity. There is also still gender bias and discrimination against women who have been given the opportunity to become authority figures. It is essential to acknowledge and discuss these critical issues and challenges that women in leadership roles must handle to better understand the current climate of gender roles across various industries and types of leadership. The Research Anthology on Challenges for Women in Leadership Roles discusses the role of women in positions of authority across diverse industries and businesses. By reviewing the biases, struggles, discrimination, and overall challenges of being a woman in a powerful role, women leaders can be better understood for their role in a male-dominated world. This includes topics of concern such as equal treatment, proper implementation of women’s policies, social justice activism, discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace, and the importance of diversity and empowerment of women in leadership positions with chapters pertaining specifically to African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern women. This book is ideal for professionals, researchers, managers, executives, leaders, academicians, sociologists, policymakers, and students in fields that include humanities, social sciences, women’s studies, gender studies, business management, management science, health sciences, educational studies, and political sciences.

Book excerpt: In 2014, statisticians at the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women constitute 45% of the workforce. Women’s participation in high-level organizational leadership roles remains low. In higher education, women’s representation in top-ranking leadership roles is less than one-third at colleges and universities. The conceptual framework for this study was the role congruity theory of prejudice toward female leaders. The specific problem is how stereotypical views of female behavior affect women who aspire to high-ranking leadership roles in higher education. This was a qualitative study using a multiplecase study methodology. The study was organized by research questions that reflected on the underrepresentation of women leadership roles in higher education. Members of Arizona Women in Higher Education were invited to participate in interviews regarding their experiences as a woman in leadership. The interview questions consisted of open-ended questions that explored the definitions of leadership, leadership styles, how these definitions influenced their workplace behavior, and the experiences of these women in their leadership roles. The findings of this study did not fully support that the lack of women in leadership positions in higher education is due to a bias toward their role as a female when serving in the position of a traditionally defined masculine role of leadership. The conclusion is that stereotypical views of female behavior had little impact on the successful careers of the participants. The participants gave little significance to experiences with social role expectations or to the definitions society have given to the definition and characteristics of leadership. The participants’ perception of their success was due to merit; the recognition by others as having the qualities and skills to lead in a variety of positions. Further qualitative research with male leaders as participants would provide a comparison between male and female gender roles and how those roles are influenced by society’s expectations. Additional research using a mixed methodology may provide a broader range of understanding of women’s experiences with the stereotyping of female behavior through the combining of quantitative and qualitative data analysis, as the qualitative data can enhance the interpretation of the quantitative data collected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines gender differences in leadership style and the influence of these differences on perceived leader effectiveness in higher education. Leadership style is defined in gendered terms, which include traditionally agentic styles for men and communal styles for women, and therefore transformational and transactional leadership styles are closely examined. Data were gathered from a two-stage national survey of college presidents and their senior-level leaders, faculty, and administrators from over 200 postsecondary institutions in the United States to analyze these differences in leadership style and leader effectiveness. Multiple block regression analyses demonstrate that gender has a mild correlation with perceived effectiveness, with female presidents being slightly more likely to be perceived as effective leaders. In addition, transformational leadership, which is often connected with communal leadership behaviors, is highly correlated with leader effectiveness. These findings are consistent with the literature in that transformational leaders that exert communal and relational leadership behaviors are usually viewed as more effective leaders than their transactional counterparts that enact agentic behaviors. Finally, institutional context also has a strong relationship with perceived effectiveness for both leaders and subordinates. The research results have implications for transformational leadership training, mentoring, fostering female leadership, and improving institutional context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In higher education institutions across the world, rapid changes are occurring as the socio-economic composition of these universities is shifting. The participation of females, ethnic minority groups, and low-income students has increased exponentially, leading to major changes in student activities, curriculum, and overall campus culture. Significant research is a necessity for understanding the need of broader educational access and promoting a newly empowered diverse population of students in today’s universities. Accessibility and Diversity in the 21st Century University is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the provision of higher educational access to a more diverse population with a specific focus on the growing population of women in the university, key intersections with race and sexual preference, and the experiences of low-income students, mid-career and reentry students, and special needs populations. While highlighting topics such as adult learning, race-based achievement gaps, and women’s studies, this publication is ideally designed for educators, higher education faculty, deans, provosts, chancellors, policymakers, sociologists, anthropologists, researchers, scholars, and students seeking current research on modern advancements of diversity in higher education systems.
Download or read book Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education written by Susan S. Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.
