This study focuses on the necessity of autonomous human resource development (=HRD) that considers not only the training and development for improving skills and knowledge, but also support to career and psychosocial aspect for individuals. In this study, the concept of mentoring is used as autonomous support to individuals' career development and psychosocial aspects.
The purpose of this study is to clarify the trend of individuals' mentoring behavior in Japanese work organizations through investigating the factors influencing present mentoring behavior. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 417 subjects who have been working in a variety of work organizations in Japan for more than three years. The influence of the achievement motive, self-consciousness, collaboration-value, and mentoring behavior received in the past to present mentoring behavior was examined.
Results showed that mentoring behavior consisting of career-and psychosocial function is positively influenced by the individuals' length of service, achievement motive, and the experience of mentoring received in the past. To be exact, the results showed that the length of service influences both career-and psychosocial function of mentoring behavior. On the other hand, mentoring behavior received in the past influences mainly career function, and the achievement motive influences mainly psychosocial function.
Based on these results, future directions of HRD which are applied using the idea of mentoring were discussed for fostering a better mentoring climate in work organizations.
