Not neglecting women in educational
administrative positions and evaluating their
skills is of vital importance for the development
of society. Although there are many studies about administrators and administration, it is seen that
there are not enough studies about the administration
experiences of female administrators (Gerni, 2001;
Baştuğ & Çelik, 2011; Sağlam & Bostancı, 2012).
Altunışık (1999) stated that research has been
done about women administrators in Turkey, but
he also underlined that there are a limited number
of studies about the appointment of women to
school administrative positions and the obstacles
in becoming administrators. In this respect, how
women administrators perceive themselves in the
management process and how they are perceived
by other administrators working in the same
institution are seen as important issues to be
investigated. Therefore, it is hoped that this research
will make a contribution to literature.
