Abstract

This study was undertaken to explore the possible effect of mentoring on sustained academic standard in Benue State University, Makurdi. Mentorship was proxied by knowledge transfer, career support and corrective feedback. The survey design was adopted for the study and the population comprised 404 academic staff of Benue State University, Makurdi. The entire population also doubled as the sample. A structured five-point Likert like scale questionnaire was used in obtaining data for the study and the multiple linear regression was instrumental in the test of hypotheses with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25. The results indicated that knowledge transfer, career support and corrective feedback all have significant and positive effect on the sustainability of academic standards in Benue State University, Makurdi. The study therefore recommended among others that the management of Benue State University should provide an environment that encourages mentorship among senior and junior colleagues.
