Correlates of career‐oriented mentoring for early career managers and professionals
研究调查了416名早期职业经理人和专业人士的职业导向指导经历，发现年龄、工作投入、社会经济背景、管理层级等因素与获得指导相关，而性别无显著影响。
Abstract This study examines several different kinds of correlates of career‐oriented mentoring experiences among early career managers and professionals. Survey data were collected from 416 respondents employed in a wide variety of jobs, organizations, and industries. The respondents averaged 30 years of age, and 28 per cent were women. Results indicated that younger, more work‐involved respondents from higher socioeconomic origins received more career‐oriented mentoring. In addition, managers received more mentoring than professionals, as did those who were higher in the organization hierarchy. While gender of the protégé was unrelated to the amount of career mentoring received, reasons are offered for this result. Various boundary conditions likely to affect mentoring processes are discussed and several directions are recommended for future research on mentoring.
