Abstract

 

ABSTRACT. The Adaptive Mentorship © (AM) model is described and implications are raised for its wider implementation. The researchers derived the AM model from earlier contingency leadership approaches; and during the last two decades, they have further refined AM through application and research. They suggest the benefits and transferability of AM to any field to assist protégés in developing professional proficiency in their respective contexts.

 

AMÉLIORER L'EFFICACITÉ DES MENTORS : LES PROMESSES DU MODÈLE DE MENTORAT ADAPTÉ©

 

RÉSUMÉ. Dans cet article, le modèle de mentorat adapté© (MA) est décrit et ses implications dans l’optique d’une implémentation étendue sont soulevées. Les chercheurs dérivent le modèle MA des approches précédentes de contingence du leadership. De plus, au cours des deux dernières décennies, ils ont raffiné davantage leur modèle via l’application et la recherche. Ainsi, les auteurs exposent les bénéfices et la transférabilité du MA dans tous les domaines pour permettre aux protégés de développer des compétences professionnelles dans leurs milieux respectifs.
