Abstract

Purpose

This paper utilizes generativity to explore the relationship between mentoring support and organizational identification, turnover intention and reciprocated mentoring in protégés.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper used a cross-sectional design with surveys administered to 351 working adults in the USA to test the hypotheses on the relationship between mentoring and turnover intention through organizational identification with first-stage moderation of generativity.

Findings

Employees who were high in generativity, mentoring support was positively associated with organizational identification and negatively associated with turnover intentions. Generativity was also positively related to reciprocated mentoring through the choice to mentor others, the number of mentees and the mentoring support provided.

Practical implications

The authors' results suggest organizations receive the greatest benefits when providing mentoring support to generative employees.

Originality/value

This study applies generativity to the context of mentoring by exploring the impact of mentoring support on identification with the organization, turnover intentions and willingness to mentor others by comparing the conditional effects of high generativity versus low generativity.

解决指导的双刃剑问题:生成性的作用
设计/方法/途径本文采用横断面设计,对美国 351 名在职成年人进行了调查,通过组织认同与第一阶段的生成性调节,检验了指导与离职意向之间关系的假设。研究结果生成性高的员工,指导支持与组织认同正相关,与离职意向负相关。通过选择指导他人、被指导者的数量以及所提供的指导支持,生成性与互惠指导也呈正相关。原创性/价值本研究通过比较高生成性与低生成性的条件效应,探索指导支持对组织认同、离职意向以及指导他人意愿的影响,从而将生成性应用于指导中。
