Gender, Mentoring Experiences, and Salary Attainment among Graduates of an Historically Black University

The company we keep: The impact of diversity in our social networks

“…The impact of mentoring on these outcomes, however, is largely contingent upon the mentor's characteristics. For instance, through what Ragins (1997) called the power perspective, protégés of White males receive more career development functions and compensation than protégés of women and minorities (Dreher & Chargois, 1998;Dreher & Cox, 1996;McGuire, 1999). Thus, unlike their White peers, minorities must attempt to diversify their networks if they are to succeed at a comparable rate (Ibarra, 1995;Thomas, 2001).…”

Forming Trust in E-Mentoring: A Research Agenda

“…Mentoring is the interaction between a more experienced senior person called a mentor, with a less experience junior person called a mentee, for emotional and career support [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. "Traditionally, mentoring has been defined as an intense, dyadic relationship in which a more senior, experienced person, called a mentor, provides support and assistance to a more junior, less experienced colleague, referred to as a protégé or mentee.…”

Mentoring African American men : a study of job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

“…Past research has examined mentoring outcomes related to an inclusive and general population (Burke, 1984;Kram, 1983;Noe, 1988). Recently, however, mentoring researchers have examined mentoring effects and outcomes related to men, women, Blacks and Whites separately (Atkinson, Casas, & Neville, 1994;BlakeBeard, 1999;Burke & McKeen, 1996;Collins, Kamya, & Trouse, 1997;Crawford & Smith, 2005;Dreher & Ash, 1990;Dreher & Chargois, 1998;Dreher & Cox, 1996;Finkelstein, Allen, & Rhoton, 2003;Greenhaus, Parasuraman, & Wormley, 1990;Linnehan, 2001;Tharenou, 2005;Tillman, 2001; Thomas, 1990;Viator, 2001). It is the underrepresentation of mentoring research specifically examining African American men that this study attempts to address.…”

“…For example, Dreher and Chargois (1998) found that graduates participating in a mentorship received $10,000 more in annual compensation than those not in a mentorship. Additionally, the psychosocial function of mentoring includes role modeling, by which the mentor provides a standard to be measured.…”

“…Because several studies investigating the impact of race in mentoring relationships found mixed results related to race and mentoring (e.g., Dreher & Cox, 1996;Dreher & Chargois, 1998;Ensher & Murphy, 1997;Thomas, 1990;Viator, 2001), it would be interesting to conduct a quasi-experimental study to systematically investigate the mentoring outcomes of African American protégés when paired with same-race and different race mentors.…”
