The Role of Mentoring in Transformational Change in Housing Association Mergers

Rafique, Muhammad

Abstract

Mentoring is a developing phenomenon and is widely used in the not-for-profit sector in the UK. Whereas, housing association mergers and the post-merger staff integration remain neglected areas of research. Qualitative data collected from 13 participants was analysed using constructivist grounded theory methodology within the constructivist research paradigm. The findings indicate that mentoring plays an important role in the initiation, execution and management of housing association mergers and transformational changes. It can influence the success or failure of a merger. The time line model presented here can enable housing officials, executive coaches and mentors in managing future mergers.
