Mentoring Award: Importance, Availability and Association With Mentoring Outcomes
The Chronicle of Mentoring & Coaching
|January 30, 2023
Summary
Faculty mentoring awards are important, especially for women and Hispanic faculty, but rarely available. Award availability is linked to receiving mentorship and confidence, though not to providing it.
Area of Science:
- Organizational Psychology
- Higher Education Administration
- Faculty Development
Background:
- Mentoring is crucial for junior faculty career development.
- Extrinsic awards aim to recognize and motivate mentors, potentially strengthening the organizational mentoring climate (OMC).
- The perceived importance and impact of these awards on mentoring outcomes are not well understood.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess faculty perceptions of mentoring award importance.
- To determine the association between award availability and mentoring outcomes (providing, receiving, confidence).
- To explore differences in perceptions among faculty subgroups.
Main Methods:
- Secondary data analysis of a cross-sectional survey.
- Survey administered to 298 faculty from the University of New Mexico and Arizona State University.
- Utilized draft scales assessing OMC importance and award availability.
Main Results:
- 60.4% of faculty rated a mentoring award as important.
- Only 7% reported award availability (19% at ASU).
- Women and Hispanic faculty rated awards as more important.
- Award availability was not associated with providing mentorship.
- Unavailability was linked to less receiving mentorship and lower confidence.
- Higher self-reported mentoring confidence was associated with award availability.
Conclusions:
- University faculty, particularly women and Hispanic individuals, value mentoring awards, but availability is low.
- While not linked to providing mentorship, award availability is associated with receiving mentorship and confidence.
- Institutions should establish and promote faculty mentoring awards to enhance the OMC.

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...

01:08Outliers and Influential Points
4.2K
An outlier is an observation of data that does not fit the rest of the data. It is sometimes called an extreme value. When you graph an outlier, it will appear not to fit the pattern of the graph. Some outliers are due to mistakes (for example, writing down 50 instead of 500), while others may indicate that something unusual is happening. Outliers are present far from the least squares line in the vertical direction. They have large "errors," where the "error" or residual is the...

01:04Significance Testing: Overview
3.5K
Significance testing is a set of statistical methods used to test whether a claim about a parameter is valid. In analytical chemistry, significance testing is used primarily to determine whether the difference between two values comes from determinate or random errors. The effect of a particular change in the measurement protocol, analyst, or sample itself can cause a deviation from the expected result. In the case of a suspected deviation/outlier, we need to be able to confirm mathematically...

01:50Statistical Significance
20.3K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...

01:27Correlation and Causation
37.9K
Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.
Correlation versus Causation
If the dependent variable increases or decreases when the independent variable increases, there is a positive or negative...

5.2K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...
