| Summary: | This critical, integrative literature review examines how culture has been conceptualised and utilised in studies of mentoring schemes supporting migrants’ labour market integration. Our review revealed limited engagement with cultural concepts in past work. However, we consider how a small number of studies on migrant mentoring-to-work have approached culture – as an asset offering enrichment, as a potential barrier, and as part of power structures. Drawing on insights from the field of Cross-Cultural Management, we reappraise these approaches through three influential research traditions (cultural comparison, interpretive and critical intercultural management) to identify new ways to enrich studies on migrant mentoring-to-work programmes. |
