A Review of Developmental Networks (2012, background): “With a few notable exceptions (e.g., Allen, 2003, 2007; Lentz & Allen, 2009), dyadic mentoring research predominantly uses only the protégé’s perspective (Fletcher & Ragins, 2007).”
Who Is a Mentor? A Review of Evolving Definitions and Implications for Research (2011, background): “In more recent years researchers have continued to try to understand how mentoring, or developmental relationships, influence the mentor (Allen, 2007; Lentz & Allen, 2009).”
Career benefits associated with mentoring for mentors: A meta-analysis (2013, background): “…turnover intent as the outcome variable usedmulti-item self reportmeasures (e.g., 3 item Cammann et al. (1979) scale, 4 item scale developed by Lentz & Allen (2009)) of one's thoughts of quitting his/her current job and the self-reported likelihood of searching for a job within the next year.”
Emotional Intelligence and Trust in Formal Mentoring Programs (2010, background): “Additional worthy research pursuits include examining the effects of these variables on important outcome variables beyond willingness to mentor such as job satisfaction, affective organizational commitment, and turnover intention (Lentz & Allen, 2009).”
Career plateau: A review of 40 years of research (2019, background): “For instance, McCleese and Eby (2006), Jung and Tak (2008), Lapalme et al. (2009), Lentz and Allen (2009), and Drucker-Godard, Fouque, Gollety, and Le Flanchec (2015) all observed negative effects of either hierarchical or job content plateau on employees’ organisational commitment.”
The relationship between extrinsic motivation, job satisfaction and life satisfaction amongst employees in a public organisation (2014, background): “Other scholars have focused on single countries (e.g. Bernhard & O’Driscoll, 2011), cross-cultural contexts (e.g. Loscocco & Bose, 1998; Wang & Lee, 2009) as well as different levels of jobs in different industry sectors (e.g. Lentz & Allen, 2009; Ting, 1997).”
Advances in Career Theory and Research: A Critical Review and Agenda for Future Exploration (2009, background): “In sum, we have witnessed a dramatic increase in research on boundaryless careers (see e.g., Valcour, Bailyn, & Quijada, 2007) as well as research on how we may study many wellestablished career topics (e.g., mentoring; e.g., Lentz & Allen, 2009) within a boundaryless context.”
