| Research Abstract |
I summarized the part of results of research of 2005-2007 years in the report. At first, with Chapter 1, I discussed that core of the self-concept of the woman was maintenance of relationships. Therefore, in area of the career development, I discussed that human relations in workplace had an influence on the career development of women. In various human relations in the workplace, I commented that mentor - protege relations were in particular effective on women's career development. However. I pointed out possibility to functionless than male mentor - female protege relations than male mentor - male protege relations. In Chapter 2, interview investigation was conducted for the female employees. By interviews, it was going to solve the male superior-female subordinate relationships from the point of mentoring functions. Before interviews, I arranged the career functions of mentoring (Sponsorship, Exposure / Visibility, Challenging Assignments, Protection), the psycho - social functions (Acceptance / Confirmation, Counseling, Friendship), the role Modeling function in 34 question items. Along the items, I had each interviewee talk freely. Finally I had each interviewee evaluate every each item for as ten-point full marks. I printed the basic information about all interviewees, and interview record whole sentence in the report.
