This research examines under-representation of women in academic leadership positions by investigating organisational justice practices in three Australian universities. The investigation centres on mid-career women’s experiences of organisational justice, framed by Bourdieu’s (1986) social theory and Gebser’s (1985 [1949]) cultural anthropological theory. Ninety mid-career women academics completed an online survey. Eight of these women were invited to comment on the survey results, which are reported in this article. Mid-career women academics reported that they faced autocratic leadership that maintained inequality, rather than situational leadership, which is more likely to address inequity and underrepresentation.
