The ability of mentors to properly implement comfortable communication style (e.g., communication openness) and provide adequate support (i.e., encouragement) may have a significant impact on mentee outcomes (i.e., psychosocialand academic performance), Research in this area reveals the effects of mentoring program chaacteristics on mentee outcomes to be indirectly affected self-efficacy.
