The Effects of Sex and Gender Role Orientation on Mentorship in Male-Dominated Occupations

Abstract

This study examined the relative impact of sex and gender role orientation on the development and functions of mentoring relationships in Certified Public Accounting, a male-dominated occupation. Results showed that biological sex was not related to mentoring, yet gender role orientation was significantly related to having a mentor and mentor functions. Individuals with androgynous sex role orientations reported more mentorship functions than individuals with feminine or masculine orientations. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.
