“…Mentoring consists of a myriad of necessarily coalescing regulatory processes and interactions between the processes distributed across the mentee's actiotope—with repercussions outside the mentee's actiotope that might eventually feed back into it. As research on critical events has shown, the outcome of complex processes can depend on small details 138 . An empirical research program would thus need to map the shifting and changing roles, strengths, and relationships of the regulatory dimensions over time in nonlinear ways 55 .…”

A review of the literature on the effectiveness of mentoring reveals a paradox: on the one hand, there is evidence that mentoring can be highly effective. On the other hand, meta-analyses usually only show small to moderate effect sizes, and sometimes even negative effects. To better understand this mentoring paradox, we discuss three fundamental problems in mentoring research. We propose working definitions and theoretical premises to overcome these problems. We apply various systemic concepts to the field of mentoring that might help to resolve the mentoring paradox. We introduce mentees' actiotopes and their interaction with other systems as the unit of analysis, and the regulations for which mentors are responsible for in the context of mentoring as the categories of analysis. To systemize and elaborate on the regulatory dimensions of mentoring, we introduce the nonagonal framework of regulation in mentoring (NFR-M). To facilitate the analysis of ongoing changes caused by mentoring and therefore a dynamic understanding of mentoring, we introduce the concept of spaces of possibilities in mentoring (M-spaces). Finally, we introduce the concepts of the Athena Mentor to explain why mentors can differ so dramatically in the effectiveness of the regulations they are responsible for in the context of mentoring. We conclude by describing how mentoring comparisons based on the NFR-M, mentors' regulatory insight, regulatory power, and M-spaces can help to resolve the mentoring paradox.

“…Over the last decade, however, issues surrounding gender (in)equality and diversity have received increased attention, particularly as part of the emerging stream of research on critical event studies (e.g. Finkel et al, 2018;Robertson et al, 2018;Walters & Jepson, 2019). Critical event studies situate and evaluate event research in broader economic, social and political issues and seek to 'set an agenda for ethical management, governance and coexistence with the wider external world' (Robertson et al, 2018, p. 865).…”

The future is female, the future is diverse: perceptions of young female talents on their future in the (German) event industry

While critical debates around equality have recently increased in industry-led discussions, empirical research on gender-related hurdles in the German event industry remains scarce. At the same time, and due to the COVID-19 crisis, the event industry appears to be losing appeal to young people. Semi-structured interviews with female alumni from an event-related study programme in Germany were conducted to analyse the gender-related hurdles they have encountered since starting to work in the industry. The main challenges pertained to the masculine work culture; the glass ceiling; gendered stereotyping; and the difficulties of combining work and family life. Facilitators were their own motivation; mentoring; role models; and support from others. While COVID-19 heavily affected the German event industry, the interviewees regarded the resulting transformation as a chance. The findings can contribute to an increased understanding of gender-related constraints and to help shape a diverse industry as an attractive field of future employment.

“…A central characteristic of 'events', CES argues, is disruption and contestation. It is through approaching events from their wider context and grasping their essentially disruptive and contested character that what becomes construed as the event is brought into focus (Robertson et al, 2018). Through reflexively examining the multiplicity of the disturbances that are drawn together as the event, asking how they are being drawn together (by whom and for what purpose), and in what way(s) are they being mediated, what becomes construed as 'the event' emerges (Finkel et al, 2018).…”
