Barriers and Opportunities: Overcoming Challenges for Women to Reach Leadership Roles in Private Engineering Colleges and Technical Institutions

Priti Gupta — 2025-06-27

Women are still underrepresented in leadership positions in private engineering colleges and technical institutes, even if more of them are pursuing careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). This study examines the obstacles that prevent women from achieving high-level jobs in various academic settings, such as institutional cultures, gender bias, problems with work-life balance, and a lack of opportunities for professional growth and mentoring. Additionally, it explores the opportunities and strategies that can enable women to break through these barriers, contributing to more equitable and inclusive leadership in technical institutions. The paper draws on both qualitative and quantitative analyses, including case studies of successful women leaders in the field, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue and recommend actionable solutions for overcoming these challenges. Women are still disproportionately underrepresented in leadership positions at private engineering colleges and technical institutions, despite a steady increase in the number of women pursuing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. This research paper examines the key barriers that hinder women's progression into top leadership positions in these academic settings, such as ingrained gender biases, institutional cultures that may unconsciously favor male leaders, challenges related to work-life balance, and the scarcity of mentorship and professional development opportunities. Additionally, the paper investigates the opportunities and strategies that could help women overcome these obstacles, fostering a more equitable, inclusive, and diverse leadership environment in technical institutions. Through both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including case studies of successful women leaders in STEM, the paper offers a thorough exploration of the issue and provides actionable, evidence-based recommendations aimed at empowering women in academia and facilitating gender parity in leadership roles over time

Viksit Bharat and Gen Z Ideology: Strategic Adaptation in a Shifting Business Landscape

Alpa Prashant Upadhyay — 2025-07-05

India, poised on the cusp of significant economic and social transformation, has set its sights on achieving the status of a 'developed nation' by 2047, a vision encapsulated in the 'Viksit Bharat' initiative. This ambitious goal necessitates the active participation and ownership of its youth, particularly Generation Z, who will be the primary beneficiaries and drivers of this transformation. This research paper explores the alignment of Gen Z's ideology, values, and aspirations with the core tenets of Viksit Bharat, examining how their unique perspectives and digital fluency can contribute to the realization of this national vision. The paper also analyzes the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, proposing strategies to effectively engage Gen Z in the nation-building process and ensure a sustainable and inclusive future for India. The study conducts a thorough examination of the opportunities and difficulties that come with interacting with this group. Overcoming generational differences in comprehension, resolving issues with educational and career prospects, and reducing the impact of false information are some possible obstacles. On the other hand, there are a lot of chances to use their technological expertise for digital governance, their support of environmental sustainability, and their capacity to promote equitable growth. This paper offers doable tactics for successfully including Generation Z in the process of nation-building. These tactics include developing skills that are in line with the demands of the future workforce, giving them a voice, promoting civic engagement, and incorporating their digital-first mentality into the creation of policies. Understanding Gen Z & potential will help India realize the goals of Viksit Bharat and secure a successful, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Exploring the Effects of Transformational Leadership on Organizational Culture within the Landscape of Private Higher Education in Ethiopia

Zelalem Tesfaye — 2025-07-01

This research examines the association between the leadership style known as “transformational” and the development of organizational culture within private higher education institutions in Ethiopia. An explanatory study with a quantitative approach surveyed 301 employees (systematically chosen) to analyze the effect of leadership behaviors on organizational culture. Analyzing the data (via SPSS) using multiple linear regression revealed that idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individual consideration all contribute to shaping the private higher education environment, with idealized influence playing the most significant role. Leaders in private higher educational institutions faced limitations in attending informal events, taking responsibility for employees, and fostering team cohesion, resulting in a low organizational culture. Likewise, leaders exhibited an insufficient commitment to encouraging alternative problem-solving and swift task accomplishment. The lack of employee participation in decision-making, unclear delegation of tasks, and failure to provide opportunities for new tasks contributed to low organizational culture. Therefore, the researcher recommends leaders encourage alternative solutions, enhance teamwork, involve employees in decision-making, address personal rights, appreciate hardworking employees, and provide opportunities for new tasks to improve organizational culture. The study also revealed that leaders demonstrated a limited commitment to fostering innovative problem-solving techniques and ensuring efficient completion of tasks. A lack of substantial employee involvement in decision-making, inadequate acknowledgment of individual contributions, and insufficient motivation for employees to embrace new responsibilities emerged as significant obstacles undermining the institutional culture. In light of these insights
