ABSTRACT Leadership has traditionally been associated with men; however, some women have elevated themselves above the socially enforced constrictions caused by gender expectations. These gender expectations specifically pertain to women's roles as mothers and wives and, as such, present particular implications for women to establish a constructive work-life balance in their careers. A general increase in women appointed in leadership positions, particularly in academic contexts, indicates that contemporary women desire a balance between their private and domestic spheres, avoiding a spill-over between the two. The main objective of this qualitative sociological study was to explore how the “spill-over model” influences white female academics in leadership positions at a South African university. The research revealed the challenges associated with establishing a work-life-balance for female academic leaders. It can also be concluded that de-traditionalisation and re-traditionalisation are interrelated factors that influence the way in which female leaders execute their dual responsibilities.

强调女性气质的重新/去传统化？溢出模型对领导职位的白人女性学者的潜在影响

摘要 传统上，领导力与男性有关。然而，一些妇女已经超越了由性别期望引起的社会强制约束。这些性别期望特别涉及女性作为母亲和妻子的角色，因此对女性在职业生涯中建立建设性的工作与生活平衡具有特殊意义。被任命为领导职位的女性人数普遍增加，特别是在学术背景下，这表明当代女性希望在私人和家庭领域之间取得平衡，避免两者之间的溢出。这项定性社会学研究的主要目的是探索“溢出模型”如何影响南非大学担任领导职位的白人女性学者。该研究揭示了为女性学术领导者建立工作与生活的平衡所面临的挑战。还可以得出结论，去传统化和再传统化是影响女性领导者履行双重职责方式的相互关联的因素。
