Mentoring self-efficacy

Mentoring self-efficacy refers to a mentor’s confidence in their ability to effectively support and guide their mentee. It involves believing they can provide valuable advice, foster growth, and handle challenges that may arise in the mentoring relationship. This confidence influences how actively and persistently a mentor engages, aiming to help mentees succeed. When a mentor has high mentoring self-efficacy, they are more likely to be proactive, committed, and adaptable, ultimately creating a more positive and impactful mentoring experience for both parties.
