【摘要】:本論文采用敘事研究視角,以贊比亞女性教授為對象,探索她們在高度性別化的大學體制和文化中獲得學術(shù)領(lǐng)導地位和管理領(lǐng)導職位的生活經(jīng)歷。具體而言,本研究旨在深入闡釋女性的生活體驗和身份認同。建構(gòu)在廣泛的“女權(quán)主義”框架下,本文在研究這些女性是如何創(chuàng)造并運用機會和空間獲得教授職稱和高級管理職位時,采用了一種更為細化的研究角度,即“交叉性”研究方法。探索并理解這些女性是如何克服重重阻礙最終跨越了學術(shù)界高級職位中普遍存在的性別差距是本文的研究主題。處于社會性別差異表現(xiàn)下,這些女性的經(jīng)歷展現(xiàn)了在傳統(tǒng)男權(quán)主義的大學文化中女性在獲得高級學術(shù)和管理職位的進程中遭到排擠是普遍狀況。作為一項質(zhì)性的敘事探究,本研究錄制、轉(zhuǎn)錄了一些高級女性學者的對話性訪談,并對文本做了主題分析。本次研究主要聚焦于8位女教授,她們在贊比亞公立大學里工作或者曾經(jīng)工作過。2014年7月,根據(jù)研究目標她們被選擇加入到本次關(guān)于她們生活經(jīng)歷的研究,通過記錄她們獲得高級學術(shù)和行政領(lǐng)導資歷的職業(yè)生涯軌跡,探索影響她們職業(yè)生涯的工作內(nèi)部和工作之外的因素。“跨越大學領(lǐng)導和管理方面存在的性別差距”正是基于這些女性真實的描述。通過深入的對話式訪談,研究者傾聽這些女性有關(guān)職位提升的生活故事,尋找那些有意義的經(jīng)歷,特別是在提升過程中最重要的促進和制約經(jīng)歷,以及她們自身和他人在她們創(chuàng)造職業(yè)發(fā)展契機成功走向“另一邊”的作用。論文重點探討固化的性別失衡觀念,并展示了這些觀念是如何根據(jù)對于性別的固有刻板印象以及男女性別的能力和偏好的虛構(gòu)觀點形成的。本研究批判性地證實了女性身份認同的“交叉性”,指出共同存在于參與者的個人、職業(yè)和組織層面的影響因素與女性的自信心、決心、信念、家庭支持和教育經(jīng)歷等密切相關(guān)。“這些女性通過對自身和性別規(guī)范的重塑,在拼搏中挑戰(zhàn)和抗爭著傳統(tǒng)的性別位序,為自己取得成就創(chuàng)造了發(fā)展空間”。本論文運用了敘事研究方法,從女權(quán)主義的視角提出“三維影響因素模型”,對8位處于贊比亞大學管理和領(lǐng)導頂層的女性教授的成長和經(jīng)歷進行了深入的探討。此模型的建立源于性別差異化的大學本質(zhì),而性別差異來自于傳統(tǒng)的社會文化。模型中包含女性教授在進行學術(shù)發(fā)展和獲得行政領(lǐng)導資歷過程中所面臨的不同領(lǐng)域的影響因素。通過正面的敘述,本研究關(guān)注女性教授是如何戰(zhàn)勝性別化的社會文化和制度環(huán)境中的挑戰(zhàn)從而成功“成為”學術(shù)和機構(gòu)領(lǐng)導的。研究重點強調(diào)了女性教授的教育背景、自信心、決心、信念、家庭支持等其他因素對她們獲得大學管理與領(lǐng)導職位的影響。在此基礎(chǔ)上,本研究提出了相應的策略,如自我控制的個人信念,家庭和指導教師提供堅實的教育基礎(chǔ)以確保獲得正式高等教育資格的重要作用。與此同時,研究證實了女性的自信和重塑對于應對她們在工作和生活中所擁有的多重的,通常交叉重疊的身份是十分關(guān)鍵的。這些身份建立在社會強加給她們的傳統(tǒng)性別期待之上。然而,這些女性的敘事展示了她們對于那些社會建構(gòu)和期待的有意識的抵抗。此外,本研究提供了理解性別問題的視角,特別是這些問題是如何影響女性在贊比亞大學中通往高級管理和領(lǐng)導角色。因此本研究認為女性的經(jīng)歷從不同的、積極的視角證明女性在高級職位中寥寥無幾并無所作為的普遍假設和解釋是十分消極的。通過對自信心、決心、信念、家庭和教育因素進行個人的控制和運用,女性在高度性別化的學術(shù)機構(gòu)中能夠為職業(yè)發(fā)展創(chuàng)造良好的開端。因此,這些原則將指引女性的個人選擇、行動和行為,幫助她們獲得更高學術(shù)成就,增加女性在學術(shù)機構(gòu)高層職位中的數(shù)量。從贊比亞當前8位女性教授領(lǐng)導和管理的經(jīng)歷可以得出的重要結(jié)論是創(chuàng)造力是實行和再造普遍性別規(guī)范的核心。女性發(fā)展并成功獲得高級職業(yè)地位和管理職位對21世紀贊比亞學術(shù)機構(gòu)中領(lǐng)導的多元化和有效性具有重要意義。
