| Summary: | "Despite increasing numbers in higher education, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions within academic institutions. This disparity raises important questions about the factors influencing women's decisions to avoid or withdraw from leadership positions. Understanding women's avoidance of leadership roles in higher education requires an exploration of systemic barriers, cultural expectations, institutional climates, and personal experiences that shape career choices. Examining these dynamics may provide further insights into the structural and social mechanisms that discourage women from pursuing leadership and identify strategies to foster more inclusive and equitable academic environments. Understanding Women's Avoidance of Leadership in Higher Education explores the phenomena of women's leadership avoidance within higher education organizations. It examines the inequities in higher education work environments and suggests solutions for the encouragement and advancement of women in leadership positions. This book covers topics such as gender and diversity, teacher training, and workplace culture, and is a useful resource for educators, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists."-- Provided by publisher.
