[28] Research results are in line with the results of this study, which states that perhaps the current social and economic context has influenced the findings of this study. There is a shortage of jobs for new graduates, resulting in students limiting career aspirations.…”

“…On the basis of data collected from 312 Swedish students selected randomly, Low () found that women show higher leadership aspiration than men and for a problem solving as well. These results, however, are different of Harvey's study (; p. 1) that found that gender was not positively related to their leadership aspiration within African–American women, and Yeoward () as well, based on data gathered from 494 students Yeowardm (; p. 1), found that support and role molding are the major explanation of leadership aspiration and satisfaction with no difference between men and women. In Indian context, Beatman, Duflo, Pande, and Topalova () surveyed 8,453 participants selected randomly from 495 villages to examine women leadership aspiration for village councils.…”

“…In sum, Leadership aspiration can be defined as an individual's preferences, motivation and willingness to lead; it is a desire to engage in leadership roles (Fritz & Kappenberg, ; Harvey, :11; Low, ). Few scholars have explained the lack of women participation in decision‐making position as an “opt‐out revolution”; Hoobler, Lemmon, and Wayne () and Yeoward (; p. 1) state that means woman report less aspiration for leadership roles and low desires to advance into top jobs. On the basis of data collected from 402 workers, Vrouwen and Organisatie‐omgeving () found that leadership aspiration is a crucial predictor of advancement to decision‐making positions; and neglecting its role led to women's underrepresentation in upper level positions.…”

“…On the basis of data collected from 402 workers, Vrouwen and Organisatie‐omgeving () found that leadership aspiration is a crucial predictor of advancement to decision‐making positions; and neglecting its role led to women's underrepresentation in upper level positions. Low leadership ambition may refer to discrimination and harassment at work that contributes to high departure from leadership roles (Yeoward, ; p. 6). Kreuzer () and Vrouwen and Organisatie‐omgeving () quoted reasons that reduce women leadership aspiration are employers' practices, promotion and compensation policies, or discouraging jobs.…”

Increasing Jordanian women participation in decision‐making process is the most debated topic in local administration over the world, including Jordan. The objective of this study was to determine opportunities and challenges that influence the inclusiveness of Jordanian women in local decision‐making bodies as perceived by local administrative personnel working in local administration. Primary data collected from (120) participants selected randomly from local bodies in Jordan analyzed by SPSS. The analysis revealed a statistically significant correlation between inclusiveness of Jordanian women in local decision‐making bodies and opportunities for increasing their advancement into decision‐making positions at (α ≤ 0.05) except affirmative action variable was not statistically significant (α ≤ 0.05). The analysis also revealed a statistically significant correlation between inclusiveness of Jordanian women in local decision‐making bodies and threats for blocking their access to decision‐making positions at (α ≤ 0.05). The recommendations of this study are that further analyses are required within this field. This might be so relevant to other populations in Arab countries in the Middle East and elsewhere.
