A randomized experimental field study. JOURNAL OF VOCATIONAL BEHAVIOR 72 (3) : 351-362. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Results from a pretest-posttest randomized field experiment study with a control group comparing the impact of high- and low-level-facilitated mentoring programs on new employees' performance and perceptions about their jobs and organization were reported in this paper. Results indicated increases in job satisfaction, organizational commitment, person-organization fit and performance by participants in both mentoring programs with larger gains made by the high-level-facilitated group. These results suggest that a formal mentoring program can have positive effects on employee's work-related attitudes, cognition and behavior with significantly greater gains made by formal mentoring programs with higher levels of facilitation. © 2008. | Source Title: | JOURNAL OF VOCATIONAL BEHAVIOR | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/229396 | ISSN: | 0001-8791 1095-9084 |
