Abstract

Guided by Bornstein's (2003) model focused on legitimacy within leadership and Latinx critical theory (LatCrit), we explored barriers Latinx leaders encounter on their path to executive roles at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and how their race and gender shaped their professional trajectories. Our findings show that some Latinx leaders may feel the need to conform to white-coded institutional practices to secure and succeed in their roles and that raced and gendered practices may permeate their work, including their hiring. Additionally, participants encountered intragroup animosity or competitiveness within the Latinx community, impending and/or complicating their professional experiences and growth. Collectively, the findings encourage HSIs to (a) develop professional development opportunities for Latinxs administrators and (b) actively support their ascension to and experience in executive leadership. The findings also provide insight on how higher education institutions, more broadly, need to consider racial and gender dynamics as part of the ongoing call for leadership transformation.

权力的障碍:探索拉美裔服务机构中拉美裔行政领导人的麻烦轨迹。
在Bornstein(2003)专注于领导力合法性的模型和拉丁裔批判性理论(LatCrit)的指导下,我们探讨了拉丁裔领导人在西班牙裔服务机构(HSI)担任高管的道路上遇到的障碍,以及他们的种族和性别如何塑造他们的职业轨迹。我们的研究结果表明,一些拉丁裔领导人可能觉得有必要遵守白人编码的制度惯例,以确保他们的角色并取得成功,种族和性别歧视的做法可能会渗透到他们的工作中,包括他们的招聘。此外,参与者在拉丁裔社区中遇到了群体内的敌意或竞争,这将使他们的职业经历和成长迫在眉睫和/或复杂化。总的来说,这些发现鼓励HSI(a)为拉丁裔行政人员开发职业发展机会,(b)积极支持他们晋升为行政领导并积累经验。研究结果还深入了解了高等教育机构如何在更广泛的范围内,将种族和性别动态作为领导层变革的持续呼吁的一部分。

期刊介绍: Innovative Higher Education is a refereed scholarly journal that strives to package fresh ideas in higher education in a straightforward and readable fashion. The four main purposes of Innovative Higher Education are: (1) to present descriptions and evaluations of current innovations and provocative new ideas with relevance for action beyond the immediate context in higher education; (2) to focus on the effect of such innovations on teaching and students; (3) to be open to diverse forms of scholarship and research methods by maintaining flexibility in the selection of topics deemed appropriate for the journal; and (4) to strike a balance between practice and theory by presenting manuscripts in a readable and scholarly manner to both faculty and administrators in the academic community.
