A power perspective is used to examine the linkage between diversity and mentorship in work organizations. The article investigates the behavioral and perceptual processes underlying diversified mentoring relationships and their connections to other workplace relationships. Using sociological power and minority group perspectives, the authors operationalize diversified mentoring relationships, analyze their behavioral and perceptual dynamics, and assess the consequences of diversified versus homogeneous pairings through a dyadic approach. The study concludes by proposing research propositions and outlining several implications for theory and practice.
