Abstract
Description
There are many benefits of mentoring relationships which were documented in previous researches.
These mentoring relationships however, may become dysfunctional. In this paper, some of the common
ethical issues in the mentoring process which are grouped into three related classes namely: power,
access and cultural replication were considered. They are considered in terms of how human resource
development (HRD) can take an interventionist position to address these ethical issues of concerns.
Moreover, to promote healthy, productive relationships and to prevent the potential for these issues of
concerns to arise, four initiatives are suggested. These include recruitment/selection, organizational
analysis, training and follow-up / evaluation.
