The Mentoring of Nonprofessional, Nonmanagerial Women Who Are Pursuing Upward Career Mobility
Abstract
dc:descriptionDeveloping a mentoring relationship with a person of influence has been reported to be an effective strategy for individuals desiring upward career mobility. Because women have unique problems based in their socialization it has been asserted that mentors will be keys to their upward mobility. However, women in business find few women mentors and because it is rare for women to be tapped for mentoring by male corporate officers an insidious cycle results: women do not advance rapidly because they lack the insights mentors can give them--and, because the problem exists there are few women who can become mentors for other women.
