Maximizing returns on mentoring: factors affecting subsequent protégé performance
研究导师成功度、关系时长和指导量对受指导者绩效的影响，发现导师成功度调节了指导功能的效果，且关系时长影响这些关系的强度。
Abstract This study examined the effects of mentor success, relationship duration, and the amount of mentoring received on protégés' performance after the supervisory mentoring relationship had ended. Data collected from former protégés paired with objective measures of performance indicated that a mentor's success moderated the impact of mentoring functions received on subsequent protégé success. Additionally, the strength of these relationships depended on the length of the mentoring relationship. The present study suggests more emphasis should be placed on the capabilities of the mentor.
