    Mentoring relationships among managerial and professional women in Turkey potential benefits?
    (2014) Koyuncu, Mustafa; Burke, J. Ronald; Alayoğlu, Nihat; Wolpin, Jacob
    Purpose: Although qualified women are still underrepresented at ranks of senior management in all countries, considerable progress has been made in identifying work experiences associated with career success and advancement. The studies of mentor relationships in North America have shown that women receiving more functions from their mentors reported benefits such as greater job and career satisfaction, and female mentors provided more psychosocial functions than did male mentors. The present study examined antecedents and consequences of mentor relationships in a sample of managerial and professional women working for a large organization in Turkey. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from 192 women managers and professionals using anonymously completed questionnaires. Findings: The following results were obtained: having a mentor relationship had little impact on work outcomes, female and male mentors generally provided the same mentor functions, and mentor functions had little impact on work outcomes. Practical implications: Highlights the potential role of both organizational and societal values in mentoring programs. Originality/value: These findings are at odds with previously reported results obtained in Anglo-Saxon countries. Possible explanations for the failure to find previously reported benefits of mentoring are offered. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited 1352-7606.

    Use of career strategies, satisfactions and psychological well-being among women managers and professionals in Turkey
    (2012) Burke, J. Ronald; Koyuncu, Mustafa; Alayoğlu, Nihat; Wolpin, Jacob
    The concept of career self-management gained currency in the early 1980s. It proposed that individuals could use career strategies to influence their career progress. Empirical support for this proposition has been low or mixed. The present study examines the relationship of use of career strategies and work and well-being outcomes in a sample of 143 women managers and professionals working in Istanbul Turkey. The vast majority worked in the public sector. Respondents indicated only limited use of these career strategies. Hierarchical regression analyses, controlling for both personal demographics and work situation characteristics were undertaken to determine the relationship of use of various career strategies and these outcomes. Use of career strategies had no relationship with any of our outcome measures. It may be that use of career strategies is more likely to be associated with work and well-being outcomes among women who are career oriented and work in organizational cultures more supportive of women and their career prospects.
