MANOVA for permanent contracts
For group B a MANOVA was conducted with the test statistic Wilks' lambda and the factors
gender and type of contract (initial contract vs. extension). Dependent variables were age and
weekly working time. The sample comprises 124 employees (47 women and 77 men).
Analysis of the reconciliation of family and career
We performed a gender analysis for all academical employees of the medical faculty examining
the weekly working time and the fact and duration of parental leave of those employees who
became a new parent during the period of investigation.
The analysis of the duration of parental leave was performed with ALSTAN based on Excel. This
tool gives an analysis of the demographic composition of an institution. There is no specific
evaluation of individual datasets.
For the academic and clinical career we analyzed different groups. The groups are defined as
follows: doctorate researchers, postdocs and researchers with a postdoctoral lecture
qualification of the medical faculty (excluding physicians). For the medical career group we
included only physicians. They are divided into assistant physicians, medical specialists and
senior physicians. A look at the claim and duration of parental leave within these groups might
reveal a possible correlation of the work-life-balance. In order to make an objective comparison
between men and women, we considered only parental leave excluding the leave within
mandatory maternal protection period. For the analysis of the reconciliation of family and career,
we collected 265 datasets about parental leave regarding gender, age, duration of parental
leave and academic status from 178 persons.
2.2. Quantitative and qualitative empirical data on mentoring
The findings on the mentoring part for this article are based on an online survey conducted 2016
among the former mentees of a female-oriented mentoring program SelmaMeyerMentoring at a
German university who participated in the program from 2006 to 2016 (response rate 64%). As
program is open for the female young career researchers of all faculties, we sorted out the data
for the participants (mentees) from the Medical Faculty and the Faculty of Mathematics and
Natural Sciences (n=121), who worked in the field of medicine.
