Yükseköğretim kurumlarında kadın müdürlüğü etkileyen faktörler nelerdir? Türkiye özel ve kamu üniversitelerine yönelik açıklamalı bir araştırma çalışması

In today's world, women are playing an important role in all fields; the role of women in the education sector is crucial. The higher education system helps build the future of our young generation; Higher Education institutes provide education, but they tend to provide practical knowledge that will help students in their careers. In university, women's participation is also incredible; they are also playing their part in the development of students. The current study aims to explore the role of Female directors in Turkish universities. And how much they are contributing as academicians. The study's objective is to explore the challenges faced by Female directors in Turkish universities. For this research, we are conducting a qualitative research method. Moreover, we have collected data from Turkish Universities and drawn results accordingly. Using detailed information gathered from the University Council for the year 2022, we use logit regression analysis to estimate the chances of having a Female dean in a faculty. As independent variables, we use the type of university (public or private), the ratio of academicians, the province of the university, the type of faculty, and the foundation year of the university. The results show that the slope of the number of Female academicians in the facility and the total number of academicians is significant, based on the significant value of both predictors. Both independent variables predict the dependent variables well. Moreover, the results of the research study reveal that the independent variables, gender difference, family and societal pressure, other responsibilities, as well as the environment in private and public universities imposes a greater impact on the probability of Female dean in the universities and at director level. The ratio of Female deans in private universities is increasing and in public universities their number are low. With respect to cities Izmr and Ankara are leading ones to have more Female dean in the both type of universities. The environment, security, and maintenance of law and order in private universities seem seems safe and secure for Females to pursue their careers at the Directorship level. So, the percentage and probability of Female deans in educational sciences are high and greater as compared to other departments and fields.
