Abstract
This study investigates into what mentees and mentors consider are factors that significantly influence the mentoring outcomes, within formal and supervisory mentoring relationships. Based on a qualitative case study approach the paper examines the goals, content and nature of interaction by mentors with mentees in formal and supervisory mentoring programs within a large manufacturing organization in India. The results are presented within two categories: Path goal clarity and Values goal clarity. These findings have significant practical implications for the development and design of formal and supervisory mentoring programs in business organizations in India, argue the authors.
