Abstract
This research explores the essential
requirements for empowering female faculty, particularly those from socially
excluded groups, within Kerala's higher education system in the context of
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The study also examines key factors
influencing faculty participation in decision-making processes. The researchers
collected data through an online survey from female faculty members across
various Arts and Science colleges in Thrissur district, Kerala. The researchers
used One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Multiple Linear Regression to
identify significant determinants of faculty empowerment. The findings
highlight that faculty development programs enhance career growth and
professional advancement. Additionally, the study reveals that better career
opportunities and professional development initiatives enable faculty members
to participate more effectively in work-related decision-making. Implementing
NEP 2020 is expected to enhance career development opportunities for female
faculty members, fostering greater empowerment in the academic workspace.
