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, research and practice are used. |
