Abstract

PurposePrevious research on the factors influencing mentoring received has primarily focused on protégés' personalities and the similarity between protégés and mentors, whereas understanding on the role of protégés' skills is still limited. Drawing upon the social influence theory, this study investigated how newcomers' political skill influences newcomers' mentoring received and further affects newcomers' socialization outcomes (i.e. person-organization fit perception [P-O fit], performance proficiency and well-being).Design/methodology/approachData were collected from 255 newcomers at a large Chinese information and technology (IT) company using a three-wave, time-lagged design.FindingsThe authors found that newcomers' political skill positively predicted mentoring received, which in turn positively affected newcomers' socialization outcomes.Originality/valueThese findings indicate that political skill enables newcomers to exert social influence on organizational insiders to achieve desirable socialization outcomes, enlarging both the mentoring and political skill literature.

具有较高政治技巧的新人是否从正式的指导计划中获益更多?

目的先前对影响接受辅导的因素的研究主要集中在受教育者的个性以及受教育者和导师之间的相似性，而对受教育者技能的作用的理解仍然有限。借鉴社会影响理论，本研究调查了新来者的政治技能如何影响新来者接受的指导，并进一步影响新来者的社会化结果（即个人-组织-适合度[P-O-适合度]、绩效熟练度和幸福感），时间滞后设计。研究结果作者发现，新来者的政治技能对所接受的辅导有正向预测作用，而辅导反过来又对新来者的社会化结果有正向影响。原创性/价值这些发现表明，政治技能使新人能够对组织内部人员施加社会影响，以实现理想的社会化结果，扩大了指导和政治技能文献。

期刊介绍： Careers and Development are inter-related fields of study with connections to many academic disciplines, organizational practices and policy developments in the emerging knowledge economies and learning societies of the modern world. Career Development International provides a platform for research in these areas that deals with questions of theories and theory development, as well as with organizational career strategy, policy and practice. Issues of theory and of practice may be dealt with at individual, organizational and society levels. The international character of submissions may have two aspects. Submissions may be international in their scope, dealing with a topic that is of concern to researchers throughout the world rather than of sole interest to a national audience. Alternatively, submissions may be international in content, relating, for example, to comparative analyses of careers and development across national boundaries, or dealing with inherently ''international'' issues such as expatriation. Coverage: -Individual careers - psychological and developmental perspectives -Career interventions (systems and tools, mentoring, etc) -Government policy and practices -HR planning and recruitment -International themes and issues (MNCs, expatriation, etc) -Organizational strategies and systems -Performance management -Work and occupational contexts
