Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts in Professional Communication, Youngstown State University, Department of Communicaton.
This thesis is a review of recent research on gender diversity in academe and how gender relates to communication skills, promotion, and leadership opportunities. Perceptions of gender diversity, equality, and equity were examined across 6 academic colleges within Youngstown State University. Universities nationwide promote leadership opportunities to knowledgeable professors and faculty. As gender equity becomes more important with each year, it is essential that universities adapt to societal norms. Gender is the independent variable in this study. The value of communication skills, gender diversity at the university, satisfaction with equality, and perception of gender equity in promotion and leadership opportunities are the dependent variables that will be discussed in this review in an attempt to identify whether gender diversity will be correlated with communication skills and if increases in gender diversity are related to increased perceptions of equity in faculty promotion and leadership.
