Abstract

Mentoring is a valuable resource that enhances outcomes like career success. Applying conservation of resources theory, we examine the interaction effects of workers’ management aspirations and lengthy career interruption(s) on the mentoring-career success relationship. Utilizing 259 older professional workers, we test these relationships with both cross-sectional and time-separated data. Although the pattern of results was similar when comparing the cross-sectional data to the time-separated data, we found that relationships were stronger within the cross-sectional data, resulting in the support of two additional hypotheses. With the time-separated data, we found evidence of a three-way interaction. Specifically, mentoring is more valuable for the perceived career success of workers with higher management aspirations who had not experienced a lengthy career interruption than it is for workers with higher management aspirations who had experienced a lengthy career interruption or for workers with lower management aspirations regardless of whether they had experienced a career interruption.

师徒关系与职业成功:管理抱负与漫长职业中断的考察

指导是一种有价值的资源，可以提高事业成功等结果。运用资源守恒理论，我们考察了员工的管理意愿和职业中断时间对指导-职业成功关系的交互作用。利用259名年长的专业工作者，我们用横截面和时间分离的数据测试了这些关系。虽然在比较横截面数据和时间分离数据时，结果的模式是相似的，但我们发现横截面数据内的关系更强，从而支持了另外两个假设。根据时间间隔的数据，我们发现了三方相互作用的证据。具体来说，对于没有经历过长时间职业中断的具有较高管理抱负的员工来说，与经历过长时间职业中断的具有较高管理抱负的员工或无论是否经历过职业中断的管理抱负较低的员工相比，指导对他们感知到的职业成功更有价值。
