Mentoring in Organizations

Abstract

Mentoring began to develop as early as ancient times; therefore, mentoring is not new. Each organization approaches mentoring differently and adapts it according to its own needs, the work environment, and all the participants' needs. Mentoring is a long process requiring cooperation and communication between the mentor and the mentee. It is one of the essential processes of an organization, as it helps promote and realize the goals of individuals. Through assignments, the mentee and the mentor develop their competencies, realize set goals, assignments, and wishes. Through cooperation between the mentor and the mentee, success is built, and they realize their plans concerning their life and career. The research aims to define the importance of the role of the mentor in developing the mentee during the mentoring process. The research sample includes respondents from different lines of work and different ages, which enabled diverse results. Research has shown how mentoring roles and assignments are influenced during mentoring, and their subsequent performance. Through the mentoring process, the individual is introduced to the work environment and the process helps develop the individual's competencies and achieve the set goals.
