What is it about?
We propose an enrichment-based perspective on allyship that suggests that male allyship is a mechanism by which male privilege awareness translates into relational well-being at work. We theorize that the relational benefits of male allyship could offset the previously studied costs of engaging in allyship at work.

Why is it important?
When men introspect about their privilege, they not only help their female colleagues but also help themselves by reaping relational benefits: they experience heightened belongingness at work and receive greater support from colleagues.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long-standing collaborations. This article also puts the spotlight of gender research on the motivations and behaviors of men as an advantaged group in most organizations.
