Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2017, Vol 75, Issue 2
Abstract
This research focuses on the advancement of women in academia from an interdisciplinary perspective. It examines the leisure activities of faculty from various departments from a gender-based point of view, with regard to the association between time devoted to research and teaching and time devoted to family and social life. In addition, other possible correlations between academic output (number of articles per year, number of conferences attended, research grants submitted, teaching feedback scores) and personal background data (marital status, size of family, age, country of birth, and ethnicity) were also explored. Many studies have dealt with the "glass ceiling" encountered by women in academia. The following case study is the frst to explore performance measures of personnel at an academic institution in Israel from a gender perspective, in light of their leisure choices. The point of departure guiding the researchers was that the representation of women in academic personnel, including their research and teaching output, has a signifcance and influence on the system of higher education and, both in Israel and internationally. The research fndings might help identify and develop interventions for utilization of time, with the goal of increasing academic output.
