dc.description.abstractThis study investigates the role of mentorship in developing entrepreneurial resilience and promoting entrepreneurial action, focusing on the South African entrepreneurial landscape. Through a quantitative method using a survey instrument, entrepreneurs in mentorship relationships were sampled. The research examines how both generic and entrepreneurial-specific mentorship fosters resilience which in turn leads to entrepreneurial action. The findings highlight a strong relationship between entrepreneurial-specific mentorship in building resilience and facilitating entrepreneurial action. This study offers practical recommendations for mentorship programs aimed at building resilient entrepreneurial communities.en_US
