向社会的モチベーションの自律的側面が メンタリング機能に及ぼす影響

This study aimed to examine the impact of the autonomous aspects (APM) of mentors’ prosocial motivation (PM) for the mentoring function distinguishing between formal and informal mentors. The survey was conducted on regular employees between ages 24 to 55, with mentoring experience. First, a new scale was developed to capture the entire mentoring function, including the process. Participants were then divided into two groups: formal mentors (n=159) and informal mentors (n=180). A path analysis with structural analysis of covariance between the APM and mentoring function was conducted for each group. The results show that there are differences in the impact of formal and informal mentor APMs on the mentoring function. Theoretical implications suggest that we were able to incorporate a mentor-protégé interaction perspective and that process into the mentoring function scale and to verify the differential impact of APMs on formal and informal mentoring.
