Popis: Purpose This paper aims to identify, assess and classify the most significant mentee outcomes of formal mentoring processes aimed at managerial development. Design/methodology/approach After conducting an extensive literature review to identify the most significant mentee outcomes in the management field, a survey was conducted with a sample of 80 experienced mentees. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) has been performed to simplify and contribute to operationalizing these results. Finally, focus group and nominal group techniques were conducted with practitioners to better understand the findings. Findings A total of 27 mentee outcomes have been identified in the literature. EFA analysis has allowed us to downsize the 27 outcomes into four factors encompassing the most relevant mentee outcomes. The authors then provide an interpretation and discussion of the results. Originality/value This work compiles, reviews and systematizes existing studies on mentee outcomes in the field of management, classifying the results in a novel manner.
