Being a Female Manager at Pre-School Education Institutions: Problems and Tendencies
Abstract
In this research, it was aimed to examine the views of the women managers who were working at pre-school educational institutions, on the management of pre-school education institutions. The research is a qualitative study and it was carried out in a case study pattern. The study group of the study consisted of 10 female school managers working at independent pre-schools in Kahramanmaraş province center; in Onikişubat and Dulkadiroğlu districts. The data of the study were obtained using a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers. The data was analyzed by content analysis. As a result of the research; Some of the participant's views on pre-school education institutions’ managers were that gender was not important; and the other part was that the manager should be female. Those who think that gender is not important in management are seen to evaluate management in terms of professional competence and leadership qualities. Those who think that the manager should be women are seen that they are evaluating the managers in terms of characteristics and communication. It is seen that at pre-school educational institutions, women managers are better able to communicate with the children, mother parents and the majority of staff who are female. Managing at pre-school education institution has many disadvantages for women managers in terms of professional, personal and social. These disadvantages are seen as the manager's departure from teaching, not having enough time with family members and friends. In addition, it is found that nearly all of the female managers prefer to work with male manager assistant. At the end of the research, it has been suggested that to prevent the disadvantages of only male or only female managers, at pre-school education institutions, one of the manager or manager assistant can be appointed a male, the other is female.
