Although cultural issues have a powerful influence on the failure
and success of mentoring programs and relationships, there is scant
research on this area and little in the way of guidelines that
practitioners can use to help assure mentoring success. This book
seeks to expand our knowledge and understanding of this topic and
to foster the use of this information to enhance practice and
research. The book is unique in a number of ways and will be an
important resource for all those engaged in mentoring endeavors and
for those conducting research in this area. First, it presents
research findings on the cultural impact of mentoring at the
individual relational level, at the organizational level, and
within the structures of the society. Secondly, the chapters
describe mentoring from an international perspective including
programs from Africa, Australia, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland,
Korea, Scotland, Sweden and the United States. Third, the book is
research based and yet, can be easily applied to practice. Chapters
provide information on lessons learned and also include reflective
questions to enable the reader to delve more deeply into the
constructs and findings in order to apply them to their own
practice and research. This makes the book an ideal resource for
training mentors and mentees, for designing mentoring programs, for
teaching about mentoring, and for establishing and maintaining
mentoring relationships. It also will be of value to those who are
engaged in conducting research on how to create and maintain
successful mentoring relationships and programs.
