| Abstract
|
:
|
Saudi Arabian women have been an important topic of discussion relative to their entry into the workforce. Most literature about Saudi Arabian women is of leadership styles or the development of leadership skills. The participation of Saudi Arabian women in this study was relevant in defining the educational leadership role as expressed of their own perspectives. No studies or other types of literature were found for this group of women to substantiate their participation in educational leadership roles in higher education. In addition, little is shown in literature of Saudi Arabian women participating in a generic qualitative study with a phenomenological characteristic to define the educational leadership role. This generic qualitative study was designed to understand the undefined role of educational leadership for Saudi Arabian women. The study results indicated some of the controlling interests relevant to defining the educational leadership role of Saudi women in higher education, as well as five themes each relevant to their lived experiences and to the ascribed meanings. The lived experiences themes included (a) influence of background, (b) leadership and decisions, (c) motivation and enjoyment, (d) leadership challenges, and (e) underrepresentation. The ascribed meanings themes included (a) definition/meaning, (b) gender and religion, (c) values, (d) appointment, and (e) family and work life.
