| Abstract | This study used a qualitative research design to identify the influences leading to the underrepresentation of women in the principalship as this contributes to a shortage of principals to lead schools. Women teachers from a California school district were interviewed to discover how they made choices about pursuing the principalship. Clark and Estes (2008) framework was used to assess knowledge, motivational, and organizational influences on women teachers' aspirations to the principalship. The findings of the study indicated that women had limited knowledge of how the principal impacted student achievement. Furthermore, most women found the costs of the principalship to be high compared to the benefits. While women teachers felt they could be effective leaders, having children generally limited their desire to become principals. The organizational expectations for principals to work long hours and to be available to all stakeholders were identified barriers for women. The findings of this study suggested that there was a need for training and mentoring for women teachers to build the skills and confidence needed to assume principal jobs. Furthermore, needed organizational support for family life was revealed by the findings. Effectively addressing these influences is likely to result in more women teachers aspiring to the principalship and the elimination of the shortage of effective principals to lead schools.
