Abstract
Examines gender differences in networking characteristics and benefits in a sample of university faculty. Generates hypotheses from Ibarra′s theoretical framework for explaining differences between women′s and men′s interpersonal networks. Finds significant differences between women and men, but, contrary to Ibarra′s theory of interpersonal networks, some of these differences favour women.
