Mentoring relationship and mentoring model of micro, small, medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia

Abstract

Mentoring relationships play an essential role in supporting the success of the "Batik" MSME’s learning group as part of the creative sub-economy in the fashion field in Indonesia. This qualitative study aims to explore the mentoring process of Batik in the MSMEs community. The results showed that mentors and mentees had the same values during the process, namely cooperation, friendship, mutual help, and complementarity. Furthermore, sustainability tends to exist when the mentor has a close relationship with the mentees. This finding provides recommendations to stakeholders that the mentoring program is effective when the mentor comes from the MSMEs community.
