Through addressing four public universities in Egypt, the author of this paper aims to uncover the main barriers women faculty face when fulfilling their academic roles. The author employed a qualitative research method through conducting semi-structured interviews with 40 female academics. Moreover, he subsequently used thematic analysis to determine the main ideas in the transcripts. The author of the present study has identified the poor representation of women faculty at both professorial levels and in managerial academic positions. The study indicated that heavy teaching loads, lengthy working hours, accusations of low productivity, growth of masculine power distance and limited empowerment opportunities are the main barriers hindering the status and representation of women faculty in the addressed universities. The findings also showed that social realities, which include the implicit relations among humans (male and female faculty in this case) in the workplace and also relations between humans and their surrounding natural world (stakeholders in the surrounding environment in the present case) decide the volume of knowledge and level of power women might attain. This paper contributes by filling a gap in HR management and higher education, in which empirical studies on the status of women faculty and the barriers they face have been limited so far.

学术界是种族主义者:女性教师在学术公共环境中面临的障碍

通过对埃及四所公立大学的演讲,本文作者旨在揭示女性教师在履行学术职责时面临的主要障碍。作者采用定性研究方法,对 40 名女性学者进行半结构化访谈。此外,他随后使用主题分析来确定抄本中的主要思想。本研究的作者发现女性教师在教授级别和管理学术职位上的代表性都很差。研究表明,教学负担重、工作时间长、生产力低下的指责、男性权力距离的扩大和赋权机会有限是阻碍女性教师在所涉大学中的地位和代表性的主要障碍。研究结果还表明,社会现实,包括工作场所中人与人之间的隐性关系(在这种情况下是男性和女性教师),以及人类与其周围自然世界(在本案例中是周围环境中的利益相关者)之间的关系女性可能获得的知识量和权力水平。本文的贡献在于填补了人力资源管理和高等教育领域的空白,迄今为止,关于女性教师地位和她们面临的障碍的实证研究还很有限。其中包括工作场所中人与人之间的隐性关系(在这种情况下是男性和女性教师),以及人类与其周围自然世界之间的关系(在本案例中是周围环境中的利益相关者),这些关系决定了女性的知识量和权力水平可能达到。本文的贡献在于填补了人力资源管理和高等教育领域的空白,迄今为止,关于女性教师地位和她们面临的障碍的实证研究还很有限。其中包括工作场所中人与人之间的隐性关系(在这种情况下是男性和女性教师),以及人类与其周围自然世界之间的关系(在本案例中是周围环境中的利益相关者),这些关系决定了女性的知识量和权力水平可能达到。本文的贡献在于填补了人力资源管理和高等教育领域的空白,迄今为止,关于女性教师地位和她们面临的障碍的实证研究还很有限。
