Fig. 1. Data set of mentees at Medical Fakulty and Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, (N=121). At the same time, 31 semi-structured qualitative interviews with experts were carried out. The mentees and experts were asked to express their individual goals and personal as well as institutional benefits through the participation in the mentoring program. 3. Findings 3.1. Differences in the working conditions between male and female employees There were main effect for the factors gender (F(2/2645)=12.647; p<.001,ɳ2=.009) and contract type (F(2/2645)=74.195; p<.001, ɳ2=.053) as well as an interaction (F(2/2645)=3.184; p=.042, ɳ2=.002). In the fixed-term employments gender doesn´t influence the contract duration significantly, but the weekly working time of an employee. In contrast to the previous findings [11] a main effect of contract type on the variable weekly working time was found (F(1/2645)=25.207, p<.001, ɳ2=.009), whereas no effect was present on the variable contract duration (F(1/2645)=1.627, p=.202, ɳ2=.001). We could observe the interdependence between these two variables. Men have longer weekly working times (M=.838, SD=.008) than women (M=.787, SD=.007). The factor contract type affects the variable contract duration (F(1/2646)=146.895; p<.001, ɳ2=.053) as well as the variable weekly working time (F(1/2646)=6.811, p=.009, ɳ2=.003). Generally, new employed staff has longer contract durations (M=25.438, SD=.531) and longer weekly working times (M=.826, SD=.008) than retained employees (contract duration: M=17.379, SD=.401; weekly working time: M=.799, SD=.006). An interaction between both variables was observed. In contrast to men, the contract duration of women who were newly employed and those who were retained differed strongly from each other (women: arithmetic mean new hire=28.812; arithmetic mean retained=16.157; men: arithmetic mean new hire =25.065; arithmetic mean retained =18.601). The same circumstances were revealed with regard to the weekly working time: on average newly hired women work 80,8 % of a full-time job (retained female employees work 76,6 %). Newly employed men work 84,3 % of a full-time week (retained male employees 83,2 %). 30
