The Usefulness of Theory: A Case Study in Evaluating Formal Mentoring Schemes
研究了工作场所正式导师制实施的前提条件，发现现有研究多关注政策、设计、导师能力等机械性方面，缺乏深入的理论分析。
The establishment, extension and development of formal mentoring schemes in workplaces have been accompanied by an extensive analysis of the preconditions for successful implementation. These have tended to explore the "mechanics" of formal mentoring schemes; namely policy development, scheme design, mentor competence, and mentor training. These studies tend to be normative and prescriptive. Substantive theoretical analysis of formal mentoring has been either absent, implicit, limited, or underdeveloped.
