Upward maintenance tactics in supervisory mentoring and nonmentoring relationships

Article Abstract:

This study explored the communication strategies junior colleagues use to preserve stable mentoring and nonmentoring relationships with their supervisors. Data collected from 259 managerial and technical professional employees suggest informally mentored subordinates use a distinctive pattern of upward maintenance tactics with their supervisors. Interestingly, few differences among formal supervisory proteges, nonsupervisory proteges, and nonproteges emerged. Implications for mentorship theory, and practice are discussed.
