Diversified mentoring relationships in the South African context: an exploratory framework.

<p>The role that mentor and prot&eacute / g&eacute / play in transforming South African society in general and the business environment in particular, is important and lends new meaning to leveling of the playing fields. Fundamental to success of any mentorship programme is the relationship between the mentor and the prot&eacute / g&eacute / . Since mentors play a key role in shaping the prot&eacute / g&eacute / they have to employ strategies that offer practical and emotional support to the prot&eacute / g&eacute / while understanding the implication of mentoring in a particular social and political context. The mentor is also an intermediary between the prot&eacute / g&eacute / and the organization. This research report developed an exploratory analytical framework to understand mentoring relationships, with particular reference to the South African regulatory context and the internal organization factors that impact mentoring relationships, and the effect on affirmative action in South African organizations.</p>
