Power and Gender Issues in Academic Administration: A Study of Directors of BSW Programs

Many studies have found that the tenure, rank, and salaries of female faculty members in higher education are not equal to those of men. However, few studies have considered the perceptions of power held by those in leadership positions in academia. This article reports on a study of the differences in equity and the perceptions of power to carry out administrative functions of directors of BSW programs. It discusses the complexity of the gender-power relationship in light of the impact of sex-role socialization and structural barriers to advancement in academic organizations. Men's and women's perceptions of the balance of power in administrative positions are important if women are to understand and overcome their powerlessness.
