Leadership has traditionally been associated with men; however, some women have elevated themselves above the socially enforced constrictions caused by gender expectations. These gender expectations specifically pertain to women's roles as mothers and wives and, as such, present particular implications for women to establish a constructive work-life balance in their careers. A general increase in women appointed in leadership positions, particularly in academic contexts, indicates that contemporary women desire a balance between their private and domestic spheres, avoiding a spill-over between the two. The main objective of this qualitative sociological study was to explore how the "spill-over model" influences white female academics in leadership positions at a South African university. The research revealed the challenges associated with establishing a work-life-balance for female academic leaders. It can also be concluded that de-traditionalisation and re-traditionalisation are interrelated factors that influence the way in which female leaders execute their dual responsibilities.
