摘要
The mentor/protege relationship can be conceptualized within the context of biological dimorphism with sex roles reflecting different reproductive strategies that evolved by natural selection. Mentor/protege roles mimic the male/female mating roles in humans, often causing conflicts that are seldom understood within the limited context of mentoring. This article examines similarities in reproductive strategies and mentoring in terms of demographics, selection criteria, and acquisition strategies. Underlying sexual themes are identified and their impact on the mentor/protege relationship discussed, along with implications and directions for future research. © 1991, Sage Publications.
