Exploring the Female Teachers’ Empowerment at Lahore Leads University

The process of giving women more autonomy and decision-making authority over their lives is known as women's empowerment. Empowering women is vital because it can result in a number of beneficial effects, such as more gender equality, better health and well-being, and faster economic growth and development. The purpose of this study was to use the qualitative survey approach to investigate the empowerment of female university teachers in the workplace. Ten female university teachers made up the study's sample, which was chosen through the use of a purposive sampling technique. The data was gathered using an interview procedure for the empowerment of female teachers in the workplace, and the interview results were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the study, organizations should foster an atmosphere that will help female teachers feel more empowered, as this would have a beneficial impact on them and ultimately boost the efficacy and dedication of the institution. The results showed that women academics' motivation for further education and empowerment is influenced by patriarchal social systems both inside and outside of the workplace. However, a number of motivating elements, such as financial security, social recognition as a professional, intellectual fulfilment, and parental support, appeared to play a significant role in women academics aspirations for higher education and academic jobs.

Abstract

The process of giving women more autonomy and decision-making authority over their lives is known as women's empowerment. Empowering women is vital because it can result in a number of beneficial effects, such as more gender equality, better health and well-being, and faster economic growth and development. The purpose of this study was to use the qualitative survey approach to investigate the empowerment of female university teachers in the workplace. Ten female university teachers made up the study's sample, which was chosen through the use of a purposive sampling technique. The data was gathered using an interview procedure for the empowerment of female teachers in the workplace, and the interview results were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the study, organizations should foster an atmosphere that will help female teachers feel more empowered, as this would have a beneficial impact on them and ultimately boost the efficacy and dedication of the institution. The results showed that women academics' motivation for further education and empowerment is influenced by patriarchal social systems both inside and outside of the workplace. However, a number of motivating elements, such as financial security, social recognition as a professional, intellectual fulfilment, and parental support, appeared to play a significant role in women academics aspirations for higher education and academic jobs.
