Theories on mentorship have advocated that a relation between a mentor and a protégé in which the former provides the latter with supports in occupational society changes gradually contents of the supports, interaction, quality of relationship, etc. as progress of time and the protégé’s career development. In this study, it was examined whether the duration of a relation between a mentor and a protégé influences quality and extent of the support being offered from the mentor. Consequently, the contents of the support were strongly correlated with the intimacy between the mentor and the protege rather than the duration of the relation. A discussion on this result was conducted in terms of the mentor’s motive on offering support to the protégé.
