Abstract:
Mentoring programs in organizations can be helpful in improving performance and transferring
knowledge, and lead to higher job satisfaction and retention of employees, resulting in higher
business productivity. This research will consider the history of the mentoring and its use in
organizations to increase knowledge and improve performance. This research discusses why
mentoring works through the theory of social learning and explores methods to use in matching
individuals for a successful mentoring relationship.
