Formal vs. Informal Mentoring in Law Enforcement.
Fagan, M. Michael
Career Planning and Adult Development Journal, v4 n2 p40-48 Sum 1988
Two groups of 24 police officers were surveyed. One group had participated in a formal mentoring program; the other group had been informally mentored. Those with an assigned mentor (1) had more job satisfaction, (2) were more likely to acquire discipline from their mentor, and (3) were closer in age and experience to their mentor. (Author/CH)
