Mentorship and career mobility: An empirical investigation
研究导师提供的职业和心理社会支持对受指导者职业流动的影响,基于244名制造业经理的随机样本,发现职业辅导和社会支持与薪资和晋升相关。
Abstract The literature on mentorship is briefly reviewed, revealing that many studies have documented the functions that mentors provide to proteges, including vocational and psychosocial support. This study investigates the link between these functions and the career mobility outcomes of proteges. Results from a random sample of 244 manufacturing managers supports previous research on the dimensions of mentoring. Further, vocational (coaching) and psycho‐social (social support) were found to be related to managers' salary level and promotions. Implications of these results for future studies of mentoring are discussed.
