"Maybe Something More insidious": A Critical Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis of Authentic Leadership in Student Affairs Leaders with Intersecting Minoritized Identities

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This critical interpretative phenomenological analysis explored the experiences of four female-identified mid-level student affairs leaders with intersecting minoritized identities, highlighting the aspirational nature of authentic leadership theory. The study examined their experiences with relational transparency, or attempting to lead while presenting their authentic self without distortion and minimizing the display of inappropriate emotions. The findings indicated participants face complex dynamics when navigating daily interactions in student affairs work, often resulting in the performance of emotional labor. The exploration of their experiences outlines a case for why scholars must look to advancing a new, more inclusive definition of authentic leadership theory. Advisor: Gina S. Matkin
