Abstrakt: This research case study describes a faculty leadership development program which was implemented to help achieve institutional change and improve gender equity in a large U.S. university. A human performance technology (HPT) framework was used to design and evaluate this organizational intervention. In total, 28 tenured faculty of which 60% were women participated in this 9‐month program. A logic model and Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation were used to guide and assess this intervention. This mixed method study used surveys to determine knowledge gained and interviews to ascertain behavior change. Findings revealed that participants were able to apply what they learned, and they were satisfied with program, gained knowledge from the program (not at a level determined significant), and promoted to leadership roles and additional responsibility. When the program concluded, women faculty gender and leader identity interference decreased but was still greater than male participants. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
