THE LEADERSHIP CAPACITY OF RESIDENT ASSISTANTS can
be impacted by many experiences, including involvement
in mentoring relationships. The purpose of this study was
to examine if and how resident assistants' leadership
capacities are influenced by participating in these
relationships. A sample of 6,006 resident assistants was
analyzed using data from the 2009 Multi-Institutional
Study of Leadership. An adapted version of Astin's InputEnvironment-Outcome college impact model was used as
the conceptual framework, and the Social Change Model of
Leadership was used as the theoretical framework. Overall
findings revealed that resident assistants who participated
in mentoring relationships exhibited significantly higher
leadership capacities than those who did not, regardless of
the mentor-protégé demographic factors. Also included are
implications for practice and future recommendations.

Mentoring literature has focused primarily on mentoring functions,
cultivating mentor-protégé relationships, and the desired behaviors
of mentors (Swap, Leonard, Shields, & Abrams, 2001). Mentors as
teachers, educators, or managers have been charged with building
the skill sets of their protégés, a process that provides both socialization (shared experiences or culture) and internalization (learning by doing) through a more formalized learning lens (Swap et al.,
2001). This view of the mentoring process takes into account the
fact that there are many types of mentors (faculty, career, student
affairs, senior faculty, peer) and protégés (students, junior faculty,
organizational members, employees, peers) who engage in formal
and informal capacities with both task and relationship outcomes.
Mentoring is a mutual exchange and is relational in nature. This
opens up a broader interpretation of who can mentor and who can
serve as a protégé (Campbell, Smith, Dugan, & Komives, 2012;
Kram, 1983).
