Abstract

Mentoring, as a basis of higher education, has been brought to the forefront. This study is an examination of the impact of mentorship on student productivity through Holistic development and academic achievement. As a quantitative study, it utilizes a structured questionnaire adapted from established mentoring scales to collect data from 200 students. Correlation, regression, Chi-square and ANOVA are used in the study to evaluate relationships of mentoring, mediators, and outcomes. Analysis establishes that mentoring as a strong predictor of academic and personal success, with measures having high reliability. The mediation and moderation effects also indicate that self-confidence partially mediates the association between mentoring and success, while institutional support moderates the relationship of mentoring to productivity. This paper concludes that mentoring is a transformative agent in student performance and suggests formalized programs with mentor support be an integral part of institutional policy.

Keywords: Mentoring, Student Productivity, Educational proficiency, Holistic development, Self-Efficacy, Mentee Motivation.
