| Abstract: | In reducing the time-space continuum to near instantaneity, information technology has fundamentally changed communication patterns in the workplace. With information literally at one's fingertips, work relationships have undergone changes as well. The authors expect one such changed relationship may be that of mentoring others. While e-mentoring might fill gaps in learning and development, providing much-needed career and skill-acquisition coaching. Alternative work arrangements, commute time, and geographic barriers make it more difficult to initiate and maintain traditional mentoring relationships. E-mentoring programs are being created to provide an avenue for reaching many who would otherwise have a difficult time in finding a mentor. |
