This paper explores the effects of gendering on work group
performance of academics in Pakistani universities. It explores the
cultural context of KP in Pakistan and theorises how social constructs
regulate gendering in human relationships. Qualitative methods are
employed to identify, explore and explain how the concept of gender
covertly contributes to shaping the professional roles of men within
extreme patriarchal cultures. The perspectives of academics, acquired
through semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation
are analysed in this study. The study posits a theory that segregation of
men and women in Pakistani society, the attitudes and behaviours of
individuals as well as social structure, all work to the empowering of
men thus subjecting them to the position of more responsibility. This is
based on cultural values influenced by traditional practices and
different interpretations of religious beliefs. The study concludes that
religious thought embedded in deep rooted historical religious
traditions is a powerful reproducer of patriarchy that covertly
contribute to subject men to hegemonic influence in extreme culture of
patriarchy. Unlike western cultures where the influence of religious
thought has been challenged and diminished over three centuries, there
is no equivalent enlightenment in Pakistan that challenges the
hegemony of religious thought.
