Reconceptualizing Mentoring at Work: A Developmental Network Perspective
引入社会网络理论，提出“发展网络”类型学，将指导视为多重关系现象，分析网络多样性与关系强度对职业发展的影响，并给出研究策略。
We introduce social networks theory and methods as a way of understanding mentoring in the current career context. We iirst introduce a typology of “developmental networks” using core concepts from social networks theory—network diversity and tie strength—to view mentoring as a multiple relationship phenomenon. We then propose a framework illustrating factors that shape developmental network structures and offer propositions focusing on the developmental consequences for individuals having different types of developmental networks in their careers. We conclude with strategies both for testing our propositions and for researching multiple developmental relationships further.
