Why the mobility of electron is higher than that of hole? 

Though I was told that the effective mass of hole is higher than electron but Robert.F.Pierret clearly mentioned in his book that the effective mass of electron for Si,Ge and GaAs are 1.18, 0.55 and 0.066 respectively while for the hole the effective mass for the above said semiconductors are 0.81,0.36 and 0.52 respectively.

So,the effective mass could not be a reason for my query.Kindly give me some valid reasons.
