Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether factors which have affected progress in the career development of the educational administrative doctoral graduates influenced males and females differently. The research questions which were addressed were: (1) Are there factors which positively affect a female educational administrator's career development differently from those of her male cohorts? and (2) Are there factors which negatively affect a female educational administrator's career development differently from those of her male cohorts? Data were obtained from a questionnaire mailed to the male and female educational administrative doctoral graduates from The University of North Carolina at Greenboro for the years spanning 1971, the inception of the program, through 1988. The questionnaires surveyed those graduates who remained in North Carolina during their careers. The questionnaires were mailed to 45 females and an equal number of randomly selected male cohorts. From the total returned questionnaires, a follow-up interview with 5 male and 5 female randomly selected respondents was conducted.
