Abstract
This study looks at mentoring as
a bottom-up approach by exploring
who is the ideal mentor and
what is the ideal mentoring process
from the perspective of the
student-protégé. From codes and
categories elicited from semistructured
interviews, some significant
themes emerged that add
to the mentoring literature. A
seemingly formal mentoring relationship
is seen by some respondents
as going beyond this, with
an ideal mentor described as a
father or even an idol. Some respondents
say that a profound
relationship could extend over
many years beyond the role of
professor and student. The ideal
mentoring is said to have both
formal and informal elements.
The construct was seen to be fluid
and evolving as per the situation.
