“…A growing body of literature points to positive associations between mentoring experiences in college and student leadership development outcomes, such as leadership capacity (e.g. Campbell et al , 2012; Crisp and Alvarado-Young, 2018). This study contributes to that body of literature by focusing specifically on mentoring undergraduate students in a formalized ethical leadership development program.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this interdisciplinary study is to identify the aspects that faculty, student affairs educators and students indicate as salient for effective mentoring relationships that enhance ethical leadership development.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory qualitative inquiry used the Relational-Ethical-Affective-Dialogic (READ) mentoring model as a framework to examine the experiences of 13 undergraduate mentees and faculty/staff mentors in a formal mentoring program. Each study participant engaged in one semi-structured interview. Researchers coded and analyzed data using the sort and sift, think and shift process identifying power quotes to guide the thematic analysis.FindingsThe data collected in this study revealed insights into the aspects of mentor relationships that both undergraduate mentees and their mentors perceived as contributing to students' ethical leadership development. Salient elements included: (1) relational features of the mentee-mentor dynamic including trust and reciprocity; (2) structural features of the mentoring program including its focus on ethics; and (3) mentoring approaches that were attentive to power and positionality within the mentoring relationship and involved professional judgment about self-disclosure.Originality/valueThis study adds to the literature by exploring effective mentoring for ethical leadership development across disciplines. With colleges and universities serving a vital role in preparing the next generation of leaders for ethical engagement in their democratic and professional roles after graduation, it is imperative to broaden our understanding of how faculty and staff can support students' ethical leadership development.

“…has evolved from a focus on skill development for specific contexts (Kram, 1998) to include psychosocial support, personal development and leadership capacity (Campbell et al, 2012;Lankau & Scandura, 2002;Nora & Crisp, 2007;Sosik & Godshalk, 2000). Allen and Poteet's (1999) Multiple studies demonstrate that mentors take on several roles when mentoring for leadership development: motivator, coach, tutor, role model, & sponsor (Crisp & Alvarado-Young, 2018;Dziczkowski, 2013;Jacobi, 1991;Komives et al, 2005;Moerer, 2005;Nora & Crisp, 2007). Specifically, Salansky 2010found mentees in leadership development more responsive to mentors who initiated the relationship and emphasized coaching (i.e., empowering mentors to excel as they align goals, beliefs, and actions) than mentors who ensured their mentee followed the program.…”

While there are well-established personal benefits to being a mentor, such as increased life satisfaction and job performance (Ramaswami & Dreher, 2007), how mentors grow and develop requires exploration. We meet this need by presenting six key themes from two recent research studies related to the experiences that mentors perceived as contributing to their development. The growth of two leadership theories in particular were explored: generativity and Psychological Capital. Six themes emerged: (a) curricular training, (b) exposure to leadership outcomes, (c) being mentored by peers, (d) experiences with mentee, (e) reflection, and (f ) observing a ripple effect. These themes offer insights on how curricular and co-curricular experiences might maximize leadership development of students and ground leadership interventions, such as mentoring, in theory and research.

“…Santamaria and Jaramillo, (2016) also stated that the lack of women in upper-level administration is due to the lack of mentoring. The findings of another study by Crisp and Alvarado-Young, (2018) revealed that women leadership and mentoring play a very important role in the career Researchers also pointed to the importance of training and development to equip specific skill sets or providing a method for improvement in job performance of women (Francis, 2017;Smith, 2006). Francis, (2017) stated that the objective was to assist women to gain knowledge and necessary skills in an evolving IT setting that can enhance job performance and support their career advancement.…”

In South Africa, women are grossly underrepresented in the Information Technology (IT) sector result of gender stereotyping and discrimination. According to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) Report (2017), only 21% of executives in the IT sector are women. This has caused high unemployment of women IT graduates. The purpose of this study therefore is to explore and investigate the antecedents that influence and impact the phenomenon of the gender digital divide in South Africa. The study explores new antecedents of the digital gender divide that influences motivation of women to participate in the IT sector. This study used a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews of South African women in the IT sector. The rich volume of data collected was analysed via a thematic analysis. The analysis confirmed existing antecedents gleaned from literature and also uncovered three new dimensions, namely, networking, impartial mentorship and HR as motivators for women in the IT sector. The findings of the study also provides for a better understanding on the barriers that perpetuate the unequal gender gap problem especially in managerial and leadership roles.
