Abstract :

Entrepreneurial mentorship is a key factor that, if its drivers are correctly identified, will have many consequences for success in the field of entrepreneurship. In this regard, the present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurial mentoring. This research is descriptive-survey in terms of purpose, practical in terms of method, and time period of data collection. For this purpose, after searching the databases, in the period of 1390 to 1402 and 2010 to 2023, 23 articles in the field of entrepreneurship mentoring were evaluated and finally, 20 articles were selected and entered the analysis stage. These articles were selected according to the credibility and validity of the research, the quality of the research, the scientific criteria, and the relationship with entrepreneurial mentoring. In order to identify the antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurial mentoring, the meta-combination method and Maxqda software were used. The results showed that the culture of mentorship, competence of mentors, career development, and mentor-disciple relationships are considered antecedents of entrepreneurial mentorship, and perfectionist, self-directed, harmonious, emotional, and professional consequences are among the consequences of entrepreneurial mentorship.
