“…Few studies have given attention to how head skills and attributes, specifically head management skills, impact the school working climate in the context of Pakistan (Aziz et al, 2017;Niqab et al, 2015;Salfi, 2011; Salfi et al, 2014; Malik & Akram, 2020). Moreover, existing literature demonstrates that the relationship between head management skills and school working climate is not explicitly identical and could differ within different provinces, particularly in other districts (Aziz & Ahmad, 2020;Curai et al, 2020;Mudulia et al, 2021).…”

“…Working women in Pakistan experience similar hurdles ranging from social restrictions, conventional lobbies, limited educational opportunities and lack of motivation to aspire to leadership roles. Moreover, several religious and cultural factors including modesty, mobility, issues, purdah (veil) restrict women"s lives in many ways (Rehman et al, 2019;Harris, 2008;Saadi et al, 2009). Hence, the participation of women in leadership positions remains low, especially in male-dominated professions.…”

This paper examines the experiences of women in educational administrative positions in public Schools in Islamabad, Pakistan by using a qualitative research design. In-depth interviews were conducted with head teachers from twenty girls’ model schools from urban areas of Islamabad. The findings of this study reveal that school leadership is not as simplistic and easy as assumed. Instead, it is complex and challenging due to personal and organizational constraints. The data shows that the participants felt reluctant to take leading positions as a result of work-family conflict. Furthermore, they also feared to be able to balance household responsibilities and administrative tasks. While some felt reluctant to work as leaders due to their attributes, others who opted to take the leading positions made personal sacrifices. Moreover, several organizational rules and regulations such as maternity leave and policies regarding child care were believed to distract teachers thus providing hurdles in their careers. It can be concluded that women navigate through these personal and organizational constraints to prove themselves as effective leaders. The findings from this study may offer useful insights to early-career women who aspire to work as potential leaders. These also have implications for policymakers concerned with school education in the country. Keywords: School Principals, Leadership, Barriers, Family Conflict, Pakistan
