Abstract
The purpose of this study was to
understand systemic factors that impact the progression of women beyond middle
level administrative roles within four year higher education institutions. There is currently a wide body of research
addressing the shortage of women in senior leadership positions in higher
education but a gap exists in research covering systemic factors affecting the
advancement of mid-level women leaders.
This study included female mid-level administrators from two four-year
universities: one PWI and one HBCU.
Qualitative research design through the feminist lens of Degendering
Organizational Resilience guided this study.
This study identified salient factors and practices including gendered
leadership, traditional culture, invited but not accepted, degendered language,
imposition of gendered expectations and “Like You” patterns that impact
mid-level women leaders from advancing.
