Keyword "Mentoring"

“Mentoring” was a term largely unknown until the 1970’s. Since then, mentoring has received immense coverage in both popular and academic literature and has become the subject of a great deal of research especially in the United States (Clutterbuck 1985, Hansford et al 2003, Murray 1991). In Australia however, research on mentoring is very limited despite the fact that mentoring programs are used in a variety of organisational settings, which include large and small corporations, government departments, universities and schools (Carruthers 1991, Hansford et al 2003).
