EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAn intellectual person had quoted:
A mentor is one whose hindsight turns to be your fore sightThis study is conducted on the employees of the organization to develop an instrument on mentoring
style. This instrument explicitly measures the mentoring capability of a person i.e., whether a person is
capable of being a good mentor or not. Initially the conception of the project started with through
analysis of classic articles related to mentoring. The operational definition is designed on the basis of
the scrutinizing these articles.
The important characteristics of an outstanding mentor are evident from the classic articles. Under
these characteristic dimensions several sub-dimensions were built. This project underlines dimensions
of a good Mentor like inter-personal skills, counseling skills, self-awareness, role model and business
knowledge.
Inorder to measure the instrument quantitatively several measurement tools are used. Our instrument
measured by some quantitative techniques in SPSS like Independent sample T test,correlation analysis,
factor analysis, reliability test and so on.
After the measurement the norms for different categories of age were done.

THEME:
Many organizations today view mentoring as a valuable method of supporting individuals on learning
programmes - or indeed as a powerful alternative to more traditional training strategies. Foremost,
mentoring involves communication and is relationship based. Mentoring is defined as a supportive
relationship between a youth or young adult and someone who offers support, guidance and concrete
assistance as the younger partner goes through a difficult period, takes on important tasks or corrects an
earlier problem. It is a process for the informal transmission of knowledge, social capital, and the
psychosocial support perceived by the recipient as relevant to work, career, or professional
development; mentoring entails informal communication, usually face-to-face and during a sustained
period of time, between a person who is perceived to have greater relevant knowledge, wisdom, or
experience (the mentor) and a person who is perceived to have less (the protg). It is an attempt to
transfer experience and expertise from experienced individuals in an organization to the less
experienced. It is often used as a kind of "fast-track" support scheme where one (relatively) senior
manager oversees the activity and performance of a more junior colleague who is earmarked for rapid
progression. "Those organizations using mentoring have found reduced staff turnover". The mentor
relationship is one of the most complex, and developmentally important, a man can have in early
adulthood. The mentor is ordinarily several years older, a person of greater experience and seniority in
the world the young man is entering.

CONCEPT:
Mentoring is defined as a supportive relationship between a youth or young adult and someone who
offers support, guidance and concrete assistance as the younger partner goes through a difficult period,
takes on important tasks of corrects an earlier problem. As per Murray and Owen, Facilitated mentoring
is a structure and series of processes designed to create effective mentoring relationships, guide the
desired behavior change of those involved, and evaluate the results for the protgs, the mentors and the
organization. But the mentor relationship is one of the most complexes, and developmentally important,
a man can have in early adulthood. The mentor is ordinarily several years older, a person of greaterexperience and seniority in the world the young man is entering. No word currently in use is adequate to
convey the nature of the relationship we have in mind here. Words such as counselor or guru
suggest the more subtle meanings, but they have other connotations that would be misleading. The term
mentor is generally used in a much narrower sense, to mean teacher, adviser or sponsor. As we use the
term, it means all these things, and much more in terms of cordial relationship which two people share.
The basic idea of the instrument development is, keeping in mind the importance of having a mentor in
an organization. By measuring the mentoring ability of a person and the identification of the same would
certainly create value to the organization. So developing the instrument circles around the concept that
could identify the person who inherit such qualities and would act conscientiously towards the protgs
development

REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
This review is from Emerald Backfiles 2007,Work Study, Vol. 42 No. 6, 1993, by Ken GregsonAs with all new activities/schemes, we should first be clear about our aims and objectives. Why are we
introducing mentoring? What do we expect to achieve? If we are not clear at this stage, implementation
of any particular form of scheme is almost certainly doomed to failure. Are we trying to transfer
professional skills, technical skills, personal skills, communication skills - or the whole bunch? Are we
using mentoring to augment or to replace other forms of training and development activity? In terms of
the organizational framework, we must be sure that we have an organizational culture in which
mentoring can effectively take place. We need a culture in which managers are expected and encouraged
to develop their staff fully, and in which staff are expected and encouraged to make a full contribution,
to grow into their roles and to take on new responsibilities. We must avoid a fear of failure and
encourage an atmosphere in which employees expect to be respected for their honest endeavours.
Although we may have an organization which is task-oriented, it must be recognized that true, long-term
development requires some time to be away from the direct task. This is essential if mentoring is to
succeed.Mentors and those to be mentored must be matched to each other. There is almost certainly has
to be an element of choice with the person as to the individual he or she feels happy to take on - whether
there is a similar degree of choice with the person being mentored is debatable, and may depend on the
nature of the organization. The nature of the relationship, and the responsibilities and demands imposed
by it, must be clearly articulated. Mentoring is not a replacement for an effective training and staff
development scheme - but it can make one even more effective. Most organizations which have adopted
mentoring have already developed good staff development systems. Mentoring has, quite rightly, been
seen as a particular vehicle to use for certain people to develop certain attributes and skills.

This review is from Leadership & Organization Development Journal17/3 [1996] 5056, by
Terri A. Scandura, Manuel J. Tejeda, William B. Werther and Melenie J. Lankan University of
Miami, Coral Gables, Florida, USA
Why should an organizations leaders support mentoring, given that research and practice suggests that
mentoring offers mixed results for the organization and its leaders (Jacobi, 1991; Merriam, 1983)?
Mentors foster nurturing environments wherein protgs may develop faster and more completely than
their peers and are therefore better prepared to compete in the organization and as leaders. This clearly
creates issues related to non-egalitarian work environments in which some individuals receive
preferential treatment (both in perception and in reality). A key issue for future research and theory
integrating leadership and mentoring is whether the costs of a non-egalitarian work environment
outweigh the benefits of mentoring. Potential benefits of mentoring are first explored in this paper. Our
intent is to unite the mentor, protg, organizational worlds into a coherent argument for greater
corporate-sponsored support for mentoring. We conclude that leader-supported mentoring offers leaders
a pathway towards more effective and more egalitarian organizations. Therefore, attributions about
mentoring motives range from the selfish to the altruistic, the political to the organizational. On the
selfish end of this continuum, many mentors realize that the very art of mentoring shapes protgs
motivations. Continued long enough, a shared commitment may grow into a bond of loyalty between the
mentor and protg. As the mentor continues to mentor further with a variety of protgs, the mentor
becomes the hub of a network populated by protgs, tied to the centre through a series of implicit
bargains long since melded into a web of personal and professional loyalties. That network serves in
many capacities, from protgs pulling strings to locating talent and information on behalf of the
mentor (Ragins and Scandura, 1994). Other benefits may accrue to the mentor. The mentors role in the
organization may be seen as having greater legitimization, especially when mentoring is valued in the
organizational culture, as among professionals. Each mentors world is unique, shaped by personal,
professional, and other situational motives. Even within this private world, motives for mentoring are
more likely to be a kaleidoscopic mix that changes through time, rather than a single, fixed viewpoint.

This review is from the article Characteristics of the Mentoring Experience:A Qualitative Study
by J. Barton Cunningham Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and Ted Eberle
University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, Personnel Review 22,4
There are several historical examples of the mentor/protg relationship. A mentor has been defined as
"someone who served as a career model and who actively advises, guides, and promotes another's career
and training", possibly in a one-on-one mentor relationship of high trust. Terms such as guide, coach,
counselor, guru, confidante, teacher, adviser and role model are frequently cited in conjunction with the
mentoring term. Mentoring has been defined as assistance given on career functions, psycho-social
functions and role modeling as well as on vocational, salary, and promotional matters. Many of these
studies suggest that mentoring serves both vocational and psycho-social functions. What skills are most
useful for mentoring others and how should this relationship be constructed? Mentors are portrayed as
individuals who could help new managers "learn the ropes". Respondents frequently described their
mentors as influential role models, who exhibited behaviour, skills, and styles which they wished to
emulate.
Certain skills and qualities are seemingly important such as:
interpersonal skills;
organizational knowledge;
supervisory skills;
technical competence; power and charisma;
status and prestige;
willingness to be responsible for someone's growth;
ability to share credit;
patience and risk taking.
Mentors are more concerned with protgs developing a sense of commitment to their learning. They
indicated that this sense of purpose and commitment can only be achieved through the protg's
willingness to invest considerable time in learning different aspects of the organization's philosophy and
mandate. This requires patience, endurance, and the protg's willingness to place his career plan
temporarily on the backburner. Mentors placed substantial value on a protg's interpersonal skills and
sensitivity towards the needs of all employees and employee groups. Mentors emphasized the
importance of creating a safe and supportive environment, conducive to sharing responsibility and

communicating openly. Mentors did not express as great a concern towards the frequency and duration
of meetings, as much as they did towards the quality of the interaction which took place. Quality as
denoted by mentors suggested the provision of appropriate psychological reassurance and affirmation
during intermittent periods of struggle and crisis. Mentors also acknowledged the importance of
focusing their interaction on broader philosophical and conceptual issues affecting both the protg and
the organization in general. protgs, on the other hand, were more intent on discussing specific
management skills and career strategies. This apparent difference may be attributed to the participants'
different levels of experience and the mentor's greater awareness of their ever-changing organizational
environment, as well as how these changes affect the types of skills and abilities protgs are constantly
required to develop. The level of mutual respect was also an important relationship factor. Protgs
place substantial value on this criterion, primarily as it relates to the mentor's willingness to permit them
to become involved in challenging and stimulating work assignments. Mentors also perceived mutual
respect as encompassing respect for the protg's desire to learn. However, mentors also emphasized the
importance of each participant demonstrating respect for the professional and personal integrity of each
member. Mentors and protgs also mentioned the need for respecting each other's shared responsibility.
Mentors emphasized the importance of protgs formulating their own strategies and solutions to
different issues, prior to engaging the advice and wisdom of the mentor. Mentors also emphasized the
importance of protgs recognizing that the relationship was interactive rather than evaluative in nature.
This implied that the protg exercised an equal responsibility in challenging and stimulating the
preconceived ideas and positions of the mentor. The relationship
was evaluative only to the extent that each participant provided his/her partner with direct and honest
feedback.

This review is from the article Mentoring: a natural act for information professionals?, New
Library World Volume 102 . Number 1166/1167 . 2001 . pp. 269273 by Judith Field
Mentors can provide individuals with career planning advice, professional development guidelines, mid-
career evaluation guidance, personal development suggestions and the building and/or reinforcement of
one's self confidence. Mentors can provide individuals with a helping hand, a listening ear, be a source
for suggestions, advice and information, can provide names of contacts and may personally arrange
introductions. Mentoring is most effective when both parties are honest. This means that the mentee
should be frank about what he/she needs or what his/her expectations are from a mentor. The mentor
must be honest about what he/she is willing to do and to keep any promises he/she makes. Neither party
should have hidden agendas; both parties should recognize the need not to abuse each other's time and
that this relationship is a two-way street.
ROLES FOR MENTORS
-
8/14/2019 HRD Instrument on mentoring
12/37
As already mentioned, some of the more traditional roles that mentors assume throughout their
relationship with their mentees are those of teacher, coach, advisor and guide. There are many other
roles that mentors may assume such as: sponsor, role model, valuator, motivator, inspirer, protector,
communicator, confidant, advocate, assessor, partner and the most important one of all that of friend.
Mentors can provide valuable bridges or links in the career development for their mentees. They do this
by providing introductions to people, providing them with background information and making them
aware of opportunities to enhance their professional growth.
MENTOR CHARACTERISTICS
A mentor must be someone who can be permissive in the advice they give. This advice should be seen
as being offered in a non-authoritarian manner and must be soundly based. A mentor must be willing to
take time to find needed information; to be analytical in ascertaining what is really needed; to have a
strong commitment in assisting others in their career development; to be a good communicator who can
provide practical advice and yet can see the big picture. A mentor must be successful and self-confident,
ethical with no personal agendas and be seen as a person of integrity. If an individual selects someone to
be a mentor and it becomes evident that this is not a productive or collegial relationship, the mentee
should end the relationship as quickly and politely as possible. The mentor has the same obligation to
end a non-productive mentoring relationship. The mentee should also feel free to only act on part or
none of the advice given and the mentor should not take these non-actions personally.
This review is from the article Mentoring and career development by S. Gayle Baugh University
of West Florida, Pensacola, Florida, USA, and Sherry E. Sullivan Bowling Green State
University, Bowling Green, Ohio, USA, Career Development International Vol. 10 No. 6/7,
2005 pp. 425-428 q Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Mentoring is no longer viewed as necessarily long-term, as the changing nature of careers and
organizations has caused many relationships to be of a more temporary nature. Benefits, both
instrumental and psychosocial, are seen as accruing to both parties to the relationship, rather than
primarily or only to the protege. Mentoring can be accomplished by immediate superiors, peers within
ones own organization, individuals outside of ones organization, subordinates, and any number of
other individuals. Mentoring relationships need not necessarily be dyadic, as different forms of group
mentoring have been proposed. Mentoring relationships are no longer considered to be relatively rare,

and may occur sequentially or simultaneously. What is it about mentoring that catches and holds our
attention? We think it captures our attention because mentoring holds both the great potential for
enhancing career success as well as the possibility of contributing to career blunders. When mentoring
relationships are good, they can produce beneficial career outcomes to mentors and proteges as well as
to the organization(s) in which they take place. When mentoring is dysfunctional, it can be disastrous for
the individuals and organizations involved.
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT:
To develop an instrument that measures the capability of a person to become a mentor and also to
develop a healthy mentor-mentee relationship in future.
THEORETICAL DEFINITION OF MENTOR:
Mentor is a person who provides guidance, support, knowledge and opportunities to the Mentee. He
must be self aware and possess excellent interpersonal as well as counseling skills. He should have
sound business knowledge and should also be seen as a role model.
OPERATIONAL DEFINITION OF MENTOR:
Mentor style is the degree to which a person provides guidance and support to the mentee using his self
awareness, interpersonal and counseling skills as well as sound business knowledge.
From the review of various articles, we have found out certain dimensions which a mentor needs to
possess and discussed about those dimensions.

REVIEW OF DIMENSIONS:
1. INTERPERSONAL SKILLS
It refers to mental and communicative approach applied during social communication and interaction to
reach certain effects or results. The term "interpersonal skills" is used often in business contexts to refer
to the measure of a person's ability to operate within business organizations through social
communication and interactions. Interpersonal skills are how people relate to one another. Having
positive interpersonal skills increases the productivity in the organization since the number of conflictsis reduced. In informal situations, it allows communication to be easy and comfortable. People with
good interpersonal skills can generally control the feelings that emerge in difficult situations and
respond appropriately, instead of being overwhelmed by emotion in prevailing situations.
COMMUNICATION COMPETENCIES:
Communication is a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common
system of symbols, signs, or behavior (Webster, 1983, p. 266).
Communication is basically the information exchange which is the exchange, that is only a necessarybut not a sufficient condition for understanding the complex process of communication. The whole
process revolves around the ability to convey the clear cut idea with clarity of thoughts.
Statements:
o Item 1-I discuss the tasks and goals with my colleagues
o Item 2-I encourage my subordinates to give ideas during our meetings
o Item 3-I give a proper direction to discussions, when they become confusing
o Item 4-I affectively convey my ideas to the person who needs my guidance
o Item 5-I ensure that my subordinates feel free to discuss their ideas and opinions
FRIENDLY MANNER:
It is the socio-cultural behavior of a person which reflects his relationship with his subordinates in the
work place. Personal accountability, the value of forgiving, apologizing, and telling the truth, meeting
-

conduct (both as an attendee and the leader), how to celebrate special occasions in a multicultural
workplace, maintaining humanity in cyberspace, that visualization and meditation enhance focus and
civility, ways of disagreeing without being disagreeable,that good relationships lead to good business
which leads to success which is determined by this ability.
Statements:
o Item 6-People feel free to come and meet me whenever they need my help
o Item 7-I ensure that a comfort zone is developed between me and my peers
o Item 8-I like to interact with new Employees
ESTABILISHING RAPORT:
Rapport is a process of building a sustaining relationship of mutual trust, harmony and understanding.
It is essentially meeting individuals in their model of the world. This happens through matching the
accessing cues from words, eye movements and body language. Rapport is the ability to be on the samewavelength and to connect mentally and emotionally. It is the ability to join people where they are in
order to build a climate of trust and respect. Having rapport does not mean that you have to agree, but
that you understand where the other person or people are coming from.
Statements:
o Item 9-I meet my subordinates in free time to discuss their problems
o Item 10-I compliment people so that they feel free to talk to me
2. COUNSELING SKILLS
Basic skills in counseling are amplifications of communication skills. In a professional relationship,
basic skills in counseling are hopefully communicated by a counselor's enthusiasm, confidence, and
belief in the client's ability to change. These counselor behaviors are incredibly important in client
outcomes, perhaps more important than theory or technique.
LISTENING:
Listening and assertive communication are discrete skills that can be learned, and once learned, can be
used to enhance any relationship. But typically, a listener needs to attend to the speaker, which means
position him or herself to indicate to the speaker that the speaker is the center of the listeners attention.
Those behaviors can include eye contact, body position, even turning the head to the side, giving the
client your ear, so to speak, encouraging comments from the listener, mirroring body positions.
Statements:

Statements:
o Item 14-I look for the cause and effect relationship while undertaking project.
o Item 15-I make sure to give justification for my course of action.
o Item 16-I simplify the business problems into sub parts for thorough understanding.
TEACHER:
A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge. But setting aside that definition of a teacher, a teacher is
a person of different responsibilities and jobs blended into one. One could not be a teacher without being
able to handle a lot of responsibilities and a flexible personality to adapt to different situations. A teacher
needs to have all the positive traits available; patient, kind, loving, caring, honest, real, down to earth,
friendly, calm, alert, smart, etc., because she has a lot of responsibilities to take care of and must be able
to adapt to different personalities and situations around him.
Statements:o Item 17-I advice my subordinates to move forward with clear objective
o Item 18-I convince my subordinates to proceed in a methodological manner
o Item 19-I help my peers when they feel dejected

Empathy means the ability to name the emotions one is observing and to ask the speaker the accuracy in
the perceptions. The Discrete Skills associated with empathy include listening, and reflecting patient
feelings and implicit messages.
Statements:
o Item 20-I make my subordinates feel that I am always with them
o Item 21-I understandpeoples needs and feelings
o Item 22-I try to find out the root cause of my subordinates problems to help them

conclusion.
o Item 24-When my subordinates convey their ideas or suggestions, I silently listen to them
until they complete.
o Item 25-I feel annoyed when it takes long for a meeting to start.
MOTIVATOR:
The definition of motivation is to give reason, incentive, enthusiasm, or interest that causes a specific
action or certain behavior. Motivation is present in every life function. Simple acts such as eating aremotivated by hunger. Education is motivated by desire for knowledge. Motivators can be anything from
reward to coercion.Salary, benefits, working conditions, supervision, policy, safety, security, affiliation,
and relationships are all externally motivated needs where as job satisfaction and zeal to perform is
internally motivated need. And the person who influences these feeling in a constructive manner is
known as the motivator.
Statements:
o Item 26-I encourage my subordinates to come up with new ideas
o Item 27-Whenever my subordinates achieve goals, I reward them to keep their morale

8/14/2019 HRD Instrument on mentoring
18/37
Self-Awareness states that when we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our
current behavior to our internal standards and values. We become self-conscious as objective evaluators
of ourselves. Self-awareness includes a recognition of our personality, our strengths and weaknesses,
our likes and dislikes. Developing self-awareness can help us to recognise when we are stressed or under
pressure. It is also often a prerequisite for effective communication and interpersonal relations, as well
as for developing empathy for others.

developing on them is of utmost importance.
Statements:
o Item 33-I take necessary steps so that I dont repeat mistakes in future

STEP 1: The first step in the analysis of the data collected is the Descriptive statistics. This table
provides the summary statistics, like mean, standard deviation, the maximum and minimum value for
each variable as answered by the respondents in a scale of 1 to 5.
The mean value for each item signifies the average score given for that item on a scale of 1 to 5,
by 65 respondents.
The standard deviation for each item signifies the spread of the responses, i.e. the average
difference of the scores from the mean of the distribution.
The minimum value for each item signifies the minimum score allotted to that item by any of the
respondents.
The maximum value for each item signifies the maximum score allotted to that item by any of
the respondents.

Correlations
STEP 2: The next step in the analysis is the correlation table.
Here, we have found out the Pearson correlation coefficient, which gives information about the
degree of correlation as well as the direction of the correlation.
Correlation signifies the degree of relationship between two variables. It may be either positive
or negative correlation. Thus its value varies from +1 to -1. Positive correlation signifies thatwhen there is increase in the value of one variable, the value of the other variable also increases.
Negative correlation signifies that when there is increase in the value of one variable, the value
of the other variable decreases.

From the above displayed correlation table, we find out the homogeneity index. Here, we
analyze each items correlation with the total score. The above highlighted column shows the
same. We see that those correlation value which are accompanied by either a double star or a
single star are highly correlated with the total score, i.e., they play a significant role in explaining
the most appropriate characteristics required to be a mentor. Hence, we delete those items which
are not significantly correlated with the total score. In this case, we have deleted 13 items, which
are, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 22, 24, 37, 38, 42, 46, 47 and 48. With the remaining items, we proceed
towards the next step.

STEP 3: Here, we find out the independent samples T- test.
Through this, we get the group statistics of the highly correlated items, as we have displayed
above. In this table, we can find out the number of people who have scored high, medium or low
for each item, along with their respective mean and standard deviation.
In the above table, we first see whether the Levenes test is high, i.e, (> 0.5). If it is high, then we
use the results for equal variance assumed value. If it is low, we use the results that do not
assume equal variances. A low significance value(2- tailed), i.e. less than 0.05, we use those
items for further analysis and we eliminate those items which have a high significance value.This is because a low significance value means, there is a high difference between means of the
two groups. In this case, the number of items that is eliminated is nine. Those items are, 2, 3, 5,
9, 14, 25, 44, 49, and 50. The remaining items are used for further analysis.

FACTOR ANALYSIS-
STEP- 4: This step involves the analysis of the factors that emerge from the displayed tables.
The above communalities table shows the variance explained by each item. Initial communalities
are estimates of the variance in each variable accounted for by all components or factors.
Extraction communalities are estimates of the variance in each variable accounted for by thefactors (or components) in the factor solution. The lowest communality as observed was of item
36, with a variance of .590 and the highest was of item 20, with a variance of .874.

A factor can be defined as a collection of highly correlated variables clubbed together
In the above table, we observe that eight components explain the maximum variation from
among all the 28 components. The cumulative variance of those eight components is 71.86%.
Hence, we club all the items in these eight factors. Here we have extracted only those
components whose eigen value is more than one.
Thus, we conclude that there are eight factors which have emerged as the most significant ones,
and in the following steps, we determine the items that come under each factor.

In the above table we determine that what are the items that come under each factor. This is done
on the basis of the degree of correlation of the individual items and the individual factors. For
example, item 21 has a correlation of .816 under factor one, but when we look at its correlation
with other factors, we observe that it is not significantly correlated with them. Hence, item 21
will be kept under factor one, as it has the highest value of correlation with this factor. In this
way, we determine the following:

Reliability Coefficients
N of Cases = 65.0 N of Items = 28
Alpha = .9087
STEP 5:
Cronbachs Alpha: It is a statistic that is used as a measure of internal consistency reliability of
a psychometric instrument.In this case, we observe that the alpha value is .9087.
Through the above analysis, we find out the items which have the potential to reduce or enhance
the overall reliability of the instrument.
For example, if we delete item 21, then the reliability of the instrument would reduce to 89.94%
from 90.87%. Hence, we say that this item is very important in this instrument. This also enables
us to delete those items which do not contribute much to the reliability, i.e. if we delete an item,
and the alpha value either remains same or increases, then we can conclude that the item is not
important and should be deleted.

NORMS:
In this section we were keen to know whether mentor style varies with demographic variables or
not. For this, we chose a specific category i.e. age. Thus we wanted to know whether different
age groups show different mentor style. Hence, we divide the age variable into three categories.
The minimum age of the respondents was 24 and maximum was 58.
Thus category one, varies from 24 years till 33 years. It comprises of 21 people.
Category two varies from 34 years till 46 years. It comprises of 23 people.
Category three varies from 42 to 58 years. It comprises of 21 people.
NTILES of AGE = 1
Here, people had a minimum score of 91 and a maximum of 133. Thus the dispersion of scores isMean Plus/minus standard deviation, which is equal to115 12 = 103115 + 12 = 127
NTILES of AGE = 2
Here, people had a minimum score of 85 and a maximum of 128. Thus the dispersion of scores is
Mean Plus/minus standard deviation, which is equal to
11114 = 97111 + 14 = 128

NTILES of AGE = 3
Here, people had a minimum score of 86 and a maximum of 133. Thus the dispersion of scores
is:Mean Plus/minus standard deviation, which is equal to
10917 = 92109 + 17 = 126
After analyzing all the above scores of the three age categories, we could conclude that the upper
limit of the scores for each category was almost equal. But, we found that category 3 had the
lowest score as its lower limit, i.e. 92. Category 2 fell in between, i.e. 97. Category 3 has the
highest lower limit score of 103.

From the above bell curve, we can see that category one has the highest mean among the other
three categories. Category comes second and category three is the last. But it is also clear that the
scores do not vary much, so we can conclude that mentor style is not dependent on age category.

CONCLUSION-
After doing this study we can conclude that mentor style is determined by a number of
dimensions like Interpersonal skills, counseling skills, self awareness, Role Model and Business
knowledge. When a person possesses above characteristics, it is very likely that the person can
turn out to be a very good mentor. Mentor plays many roles like a teacher, guide, and above all a
person who directs the mentee towards the right path. Hence, this relationship surpasses all sorts
of prejudices and emerges to be the most enriching relationship, which redifines both the mentor
and the mentee into a better human being.
This project has been a great learning experience for us, since it not only enabled us to
understand the intricacies of developing an instrument, but also widened our spectra of thinking
to greater horizons.
