Relational mentoring process denotes high quality mentoring on the mentoring continuum and it encompasses traditional or average quality of mentoring. Although, the undercurrent of support provided through relational mentoring is primarily psycho-social, the impact of relational mentoring towards protégé development is both professional and personal. The outcome variable is role based performance that also encompasses personal (non – job related) and professional (job related) dimensions of performance. Our findings shed light on the role that protégé personal learning, play as mediator and motivation of mentor as moderator, in transmitting the effect of relational mentoring on protégé role based performance. This study would help enhance protégé overall development through relational mentoring.
