Studies have shown that the trends in women's organizational roles indicate that, in the future, women will hold a significant share of managerial positions and leadership roles. However, due to challenges such as stereotypical thinking and multiple responsibilities, women operate in a more challenging environment compared to men. This study aims to identify issues concerning women in organizations that will persist into the future and propose strategies for addressing them. Conducted in the context of future studies, this research adopts an exploratory qualitative approach with a thematic analysis strategy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 academic and executive experts and analyzed using MAXQDA software. The findings are categorized into three main themes: contextual factors, issues, and strategies. The contextual factors are represented by the theme "trends and conditions related to women's roles in organizations," such as technological advancements and improved working conditions for women. The issues are categorized under "persistent challenges for women" such as unconscious stereotypes. Strategies are divided into two themes: "strategies for decision-makers and policymakers" such as Targeted support for women, and "strategies for women," such as raising awareness and fostering transformative initiatives. This study emphasizes the need for broader future studies in organizational management and women's roles in organizations.

The present study soughts to explore and represent the moderating factors affecting work-life balance crafting behaviors among faculty members of the public universities of the north-east of Iran. In this study, the research has been phenomenological in terms of method, and in terms of purpose, it has been fundamental and has an exploratory nature. The study population consisted of faculty members of Ferdowsi university of Mashhad and university of Birjand who had an assistance professor degree with at least 5 years of work experience. The purposeful sampling method was followed and finally the adequacy of the sample was confirmed after data saturation.The results of data analysis using Colaizzi content analysis showed that the moderating factors affecting the relationship between role overload and work-life balance crafting behaviors can be formulated into three categories of individual, situational and individual-situational factors. The framework of identified moderating factors can be utilized by HRM practitioners in designing faculty maintenance arrangements.
