“…On the contrary, there is a growing body of research that has specifically investigated the outcomes of mentoring processes and programs for women and people of color across a range of educational contexts (Brennan & Crawford, 1996;Bruce, 1995;Eliasson, Berggren, & Bondestam, 2000). Our review of these studies revealed that 30.5% examined gender, 6% examined race, and a further 6% examined both race and gender issues.…”

The sheer volume of literature on mentoring across a variety of disciplines is an indication of the high profile it has been afforded in recent years. This article draws on a structured analysis of more than 300 research-based articles on mentoring across three discipline areas in an attempt to make more valid inferences about the nature and outcomes of mentoring. It begins by reporting on the findings compiled from a database of research articles from educational contexts. These research-based articles are examined to determine the positive and more problematic outcomes of mentoring for the mentor, mentee, and the organization. A discussion of the findings from two other databases, namely, 151 research-based articles from business contexts and 82 articles from medical contexts, is provided, and commonalities across the three databases are highlighted. The article concludes with a discussion of key issues that administrators responsible for establishing mentoring programs should consider to maximize the experience of mentoring for all stakeholders.

“…Wasburn (2007), however, articulated that a mentoring relationship "is commonly viewed as an inherently informal process" (p. 59) whereby members come together spontaneously. Others would agree that mentors and mentees often take a personal interest in shaping professional growth, and accordingly, come together in an informal mentoring relationship (Eliasson, Berggren, & Bondestam, 2000;Goodwin, Stevens, & Bellamy, 1998). Wasburn (2007) also pointed out that "there is some evidence that formal mentoring programs are less effective than informal relationships" (p. 59).…”

“…As above, the literature demonstrates that lack of mentors can have a detrimental impact on female progression (Aiston and Jung 2015;O'Leary and Mitchell 1990). Equally, the availability of effective mentors can have a significant impact on gendered productivity and progression (Gardiner et al 2007;Fletcher 2007;Chesterman 2009;Eliasson, Berggren and Bondestam 2000;Schulze 2010;Obers 2015;Joiner et al 2004;Pyke 2013;Thanacoody et al 2006).…”

Hacking through the Gordian Knot: can facilitating operational mentoring untangle the gender research productivity puzzle in higher education?

In spite of a number of drivers for change in the pursuit of gender equality in higher education in the UK and beyond, the gender gap in research activity is still widely recognised across most subject disciplines. Over recent years, mentoring strategies have often been seen as the Alexandrian sword capable of cutting the gender deficit 'Gordian Knot'. However, analysis of current practice and dialogue points to a lack of a consistent approach in addressing and implementing HE policy in this area with many initiatives providing standardised nonevidenced based provision aimed at addressing an alleged confidence deficit and exhausting an already fatigued group of successful senior women. This paper seeks to triangulate existing literature with an analysis of data collected from a funded UK based research project ultimately proposing a five-step institutional mentoring approach aimed at providing some inroads into alleviating the gender deficit in research productivity in the academy.
