Abstract
This study examines the role of gender
composition in the relationship
between mentoring support functions
provided by a mentor and career
outcomes achieved. The study
focuses on the benefits received by
women mentors. It is hypothesized
that if a homogeneous dyad (women
mentor-women mentee) as well as in
cross- gendere d (women ment ormale
ment ee) of c are er support
function can increase the objective
outcomes received by a woman mentor.
Whereas the psychosocial support
provided in a homogeneous
dyad can enhance the subjective
career outcome of a woman mentor,
but such support when provided in
a cross-gendered dyad can have a
negative impact on the subjective
career success of women mentors.
