The Motivation to Mentor among Managerial Employees
研究了个人特质（利他主义、积极情感）和情境因素（奖励制度、互动机会）如何影响管理员工的指导动机，对组织设计导师制有参考价值。
The authors examined the influence of individual and situational characteristics on the motivation to mentor. Respondents were managerial employees (N = 167) in the maintenance career stage employed in public and private sectors in Singapore. The model accounted for 41% (RJ2) of the explained variance in the motivation to mentor with the additive or main effects contributing 37% (AR 2) and the interaction terms contributing a modest 4% (AR 2). The significant findings indicate that the motivation to mentor may be predicted by individual characteristics (altruism, positive affectivity), situational characteristics (employee development-linked reward system and opportunities for interaction on the job), and their interaction terms (opportunities for interaction on the job and altruism). Limitations of the study, implications of the findings, and directions for future research are discussed.
