Mentors and Proteges: A Critical Review of the Literature.

Merriam, Sharan

Adult Education Quarterly, v33 n3 p161-73 Spr 1983

This review divides the literature on mentoring into three sections: mentoring in adult growth and development, in the business world, and in academic settings. Although the literature is biased in favor of the phenomenon, the concept needs clarification and more rigorous research and evaluation. (SK)
