人们越来越关注联合王国大学中担任科学和技术高级职位的妇女人数不足的问题。以前的研究增强了我们对学术界女性在职业发展中面临的挑战的理解。相比之下，相对鲜为人知的是，为什么这么少的妇女达到ST的领导地位。本文报告的研究，以检查妇女的经验，在ST学院的领导在英国大学的感知障碍。作者通过深入访谈探讨了个人叙述，以突出职业发展的感知障碍。调查结果报告ST院系的性别性质，以及妇女如何努力驾驭自己的职业生涯。调查表明，临时工作安排、男性主导的网络、恐吓和骚扰等组织影响以及缺乏信心等个人影响都产生了影响。
There is growing concern regarding the lack of women in senior positions in science and technology (ST) in United Kingdom (UK) universities. Previous research has enhanced our understanding of the challenges women in academia face to progress their careers. In contrast, relatively little is known as to why so few women reach leadership positions in ST. This article reports on research to examine women's experiences regarding the perceived barriers to leadership in ST faculties in UK universities. Using in-depth interviews the authors explore personal narratives to highlight the perceived barriers to career advancement. Findings report on the gendered nature of ST faculties and how women struggle to navigate their careers. The investigation illustrates the effect of organisational influences such as temporary work arrangements, male-dominated networks, intimidation and harassment, as well as individual influences such as lack of confidence.
