Abstract

Digital transformation process brings together new concepts, paradigms and practices. One of these applications is the reverse mentoring approach, which is increasingly widespread in today's world. Reverse mentoring is an innovative approach that reverses the traditional mentorship relationship. This approach provides guidance on issues such as technology, social media and current trends for senior executives who have difficulty follows new technologies and using them. Reverse mentoring is based on the principle that a young employee with a low degree of seniority is mentoring a person who is more senior and generally in a higher managerial position than himself / herself in business life. In this kind of innovative mentoring, new generations learn from their previous generations about the business world. Reverse mentoring, two-way information exchange process, also enhances the quality of communication and cooperation in business, while promoting learning and development. In addition, this system is crucial to the sustainability of businesses, helping managers to have a clear view of the new idea and to gain a global perspective. This research will examine the emergence, characteristics and benefits of reverse mentoring. Differences between traditional mentoring and reverse mentoring will be evaluated comparatively. Finally, they will be given applications of reverse mentoring from business world.

Özet

Tüm dünyada yaşanan dijital dönüşüm süreci yeni kavram, paradigma ve uygulamaları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu uygulamalardan biri günümüzde giderek yaygınlaşan tersine mentorluk yaklaşımıdır. Tersine mentorluk, geleneksel mentorluk ilişkisini tersine çeviren yenilikçi bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yaklaşım özellikle yeni teknolojileri takip etmekte ve kullanmakta zorlanan üst düzey yöneticiler için teknoloji, sosyal medya ve güncel eğilimler gibi konularda rehberlik sağlamaktadır. Tersine mentorluk iş yaşamında kıdemi daha az olan genç çalışanın, kendisinden daha kıdemli ve genelde daha üst yönetsel konumda olan kişiye mentorluk etmesi esasına dayanmaktadır. Bu yenilikçi mentorluk türünde yeni nesiller de iş dünyası hakkında kendilerinden önceki nesillerden öğrenmektedir. İki yönlü bilgi değişim süreci olan tersine mentorluk bir yandan öğrenme ve gelişmeyi teşvik ederken, diğer yandan işletmedeki iletişim ve işbirliği kalitesini arttırmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu sistem yöneticilerin yeni fikirlere karşı açık bir tutum sergilemesine ve küresel bir bakış açısı kazanmasına yardımcı olarak işletmelerin sürdürülebilirliği için önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırmada tersine mentorluğun ortaya çıkışı, özellikleri ve faydaları ele alınacaktır. Geleneksel mentorluk ve tersine mentorluk arasındaki farklar karşılaştırmalı olarak değerlendirilecektir. Son olarak, iş dünyasından tersine mentorluk uygulamalarına yer verilecektir.
