Title: An investigation of factors contributing to the acceptance/participation of minority female administrators in higher education

Abstract: "The purpose of this study was to determine underlying factors that contribute to the acceptance and participation of minority female administrators in higher education. This study was designed to answer the specific question: is there a difference between the general female administrative population and the minority female administrative population in regard to their beliefs about factors contributing to advancement in higher level administrative positions at colleges and universities? The pertinent factors in the study were formal education, influence of a role model, membership in professional organizations, willingness to relocate, marital status and gender.

The ""Minority Female College and University Presidents Questionnaire"" was mailed to the 45 minority females serving as president of a college or university in the United States and Puerto Rico during the spring semester of 1991. Twenty-three usable questionnaires were returned. The Chi Square, Goodness-of-Fit, procedure was selected for the statistical analysis of the data. However, certain of the expected frequencies failed to rise to the required levels in the calculation process; therefore, it was necessary to use the Yates correction for continuity. Yates correction is applied when one or more expected frequencies are less than 10. The.05 probability level was established as a criterion of statistical significance.

Based on the findings of the study, it was concluded that: (1) Two-thirds of the respondents were willing to relocate, held the doctorate degree, had a role model and were married. The respondents' indication that these factors are important to them for job advancement suggests that these factors are important to job advancement in higher education. (2) All of the respondents noted that they held membership in various professional organizations. Holding leadership positions within these organizations is also viewed as important for career advancement. Thus, an indication is given that membership as well as holding positions of leadership in professional organizations is important for minority females to advance in their job assignments at institutions of higher education. (3) As a measure of job advancement the respondents indicated that gender was irrelevant. Therefore, the study implies that gender is not germane in job advancement for minority "
