The empirical analyses are grounded in a conceptual framework about the importance of individual and organisational characteristics in explaining faculty performance, including mentoring. The models investigate factors that explain: (1) who mentors, by gender and (2) who are mentored (women only, men only, or both women and men), by gender. Findings highlight the importance of individual and organisational/institutional characteristics for mentoring. Specifically, higher levels of rank significantly increase the likelihood of being a mentor among both women and men; while being a principal investigator is significant for men only. Departmental climates perceived as 'stimulating' influence being a mentor, but differ by gender. Any effect of field on being a mentor is present only for women. Multinomial models point to gender differences in explaining who mentors women only, men only, or both.", pages = "460-483(24)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ind/ijlc/2007/00000001/00000004/art00005" doi = "doi:10.1504/IJLC.2006.013912" }
