Women’s universities are common in South Asian countries, such as Pakistan, where females are at a disadvantage. These universities are agencies of freedom for female academics, as they provide a favorable environment that enhances the performance of and opens doors for egalitarianism and prosperity for women. Nevertheless, research productivity among female academics remains an ongoing issue due to many factors, including multiple family and work responsibilities. An exploratory case study was conducted at one of the women’s universities in Pakistan to more closely explore this experience. In the current study, preference theory was used as a theoretical framework to explore female faculty’s research productivity while simultaneously meeting their family/work responsibilities. The study provides robust and promising observations, which have implications for academia, policy-makers, and scholars.

女子大学在巴基斯坦等南亚国家很普遍，在这些国家，女子处于劣势。这些大学是女性学者的自由机构，因为它们提供了有利的环境，可以提高妇女的平均水平和繁荣，并为她们的表现打开大门。然而，由于许多因素，包括多重家庭和工作职责，女性学者的研究生产率仍然是一个持续存在的问题。在巴基斯坦的一所女子大学中进行了一项探索性案例研究，以更紧密地探索这种经历。在当前的研究中，偏好理论被用作理论框架来探索女教师的研究生产力，同时满足其家庭/工作职责。这项研究提供了有力而有希望的观察
