Mentoring in Family Firms: A Reflective Analysis of Senior Executives' Perceptions
反思性分析了76位家族企业高管对自身被指导经历的感知，发现被指导者认为导师制是成功的关键工具，并指出指导方式的选择应视具体情况而定。
This paper reflectively analyzes 76 family business senior executives' perceptions of their personal experiences of being mentored. Although mentoring in family firms is a common recommendation, there is little empirical research supporting its use or efficacy. The findings from this research reveal that those who were mentored believe it is a vital tool for success. The data indicate a strong belief that the selection of the mentoring technique—formal or informal, performed by a family or nonfamily member—should depend on the parties involved and the situation. The analysis provides family businesses with a practical tool for the selection of appropriate mentoring methodologies. The paper also presents recommendations for future research.
