The research intends to understand lecturers‟work aspirations at the International Islamic
University Malaysia (IIUM). Within its specific context, it investigateswhether there are
gendering issues based on the idea of “publish or perish” of the universities which may violate
their emotional beings. The threats in the forms of policies and key performance indicators
(KPIs) within the workplace culture may suffocate them. In this case, lecturers‟ work aspiration
may be at stake. Their experiences and challenges to achieve better positions or situations at the
workplace widens the scope of gender violation that may further enhance the knowledge on
gender relations.The research involves the recollection of the experiences and perceptions of ten
IIUM lecturers, coming from the art and humanities-based and science and technology-based
teaching fields. Since the dimensions of the research involve case-study and phenomenology, the
analysis is therefore based on their rich descriptive experiences revolving around the research
themes. The in-depth, semi-structured interview guide is the research instrument that is used
throughout the session. The analysis is assisted by ATLAS.ti 7 software. The research found that
gender factor makes a rational signification for emotional violation towards work aspirations.
The female, married lecturersdefine work aspirationas the “wholesome commitment”in the
professional and domestic spheres. Their emotional satisfaction arrives when they are able to
balance both spheres, yet emotional violation is felt once one (or both) of these work aspirations
is (yet) unachieved. Thus better policies related to the lecturers need to be carefully addressed. |
