dc.description.abstractThis article contributes to the empirical evidence for women’s scarcity in academic governance. The study evaluates to what extend women lean towards non-management careers and dismiss opportunities to attain executive roles in Colombian public universities, as well as the support received when they break the paradigm. The purpose was to determine whether gendered practices are ingrained in the designation process or whether women’s scarcity is the outcome of individual attributes/choices and collective perceptions of inadequacy. Data was collected from universities’ proceedings, opinion polls of rectors’ designations, and candidates’ curricula. Findings show low female candidacy rate but high public support for female candidates to the rector’s seat among all universities examined. Also, curricula’s in-depth analyses display women’s preference for male-dominated careers and analogous academic/administrative experience to that of male candidates. Hence, the results challenge explanations presented by human capital and congruity prejudice theories, while leaning towards gendered processes and identities.eng
dc.description.abstractE cikk eredményei a nők egyetemi vezetésben való alacsony részvételével kapcsolatos tudományos eredményekhez járulnak hozzá. A cikk kolumbiai állami egyetemek példáján vizsgálja meg, hogy mennyire jellemző a nőkre az, hogy nem vezetői karriert választanak maguknak, vagy visszautasítják a felajánlott vezetői pozíciókat; illetve, hogy milyen támogatást kapnak akkor, ha mégis szembe mennek az erre vonatkozó általános trenddel. A kutatás annak feltárására irányult, hogy a nők alacsony részvételének oka a kiválasztási folyamatokba ivódott nemi megkülönböztetésben keresendő-e, vagy inkább az egyéni tulajdonságok és választások, illetve a nők alkalmatlanságára vonatkozó kollektív észlelések okolandók ezért. Az elemzés az egyetemek kiválasztási eljárásrendjeiből, a rektori kinevezésekhez kapcsolódó közvélemény-kutatásokból és a jelöltek életrajzaiból származó adatokon alapult. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy az összes vizsgált egyetemen alacsony a női jelöltek aránya, de a rektori székbe kerülő nők a közvélemény nagy támogatottságát élvezik. Az életrajzok elemzése feltárta, hogy a nők nem utasítják el a karriert a férfiak által uralt területeken, valamint nők is rendelkeznek a férfi jelöltekéhez hasonló tudományos/adminisztratív tapasztalattal. A kutatás eredményei megkérdőjelezik az emberi tőke és a kongruitásra vonatkozó elméletek magyarázatait, miközben igazolják a nemek által befolyásolt folyamatok és identitások elméleteit.
