Johnson, Scott D. Lenear, Phoebe Elaine 2015-09-25T19:54:28Z 2015-09-25T19:54:28Z 10000-01-01 2006 2006 Little research has been conducted on electronic mentoring, and more specifically Internet-based mentoring. Several traditional mentoring models exist; however, due to the novelty of the research area, no theoretical e-mentoring models appear in the literature. Using Moore's Theory of Transactional Distance as the theoretical framework, this research compared mentor-protege interaction, transactional distance (feelings of closeness), structure, satisfaction, and support in Internet-based asynchronous and synchronous mentoring settings. Mann-Whitney U-test results indicated that there were no significant differences in these constructs in either e-mentoring environment. This study also tested a Model for e-Mentoring Relationships to determine the interrelationships of interaction, structure, support, satisfaction, and closeness. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients data revealed that the relationship between closeness and the other constructs was stronger in the synchronous e-mentoring environment and in the Mentor Initiation Model, suggesting that perceptions of closeness may be linked to the synchronous environment and the level of mentor participation.
