Model for Assigning a Pupil to a Mentor in the Staff Training System of the Organization

This article will focus on the mentoring process, which is interconnected with such HR functions as adaptation, motivation and training. And recently, many employers from a variety of alternatives have made a choice in its favor. Aim. The work examines the main functions of mentoring, its practical benefits and areas of application, and the main attention will be focused on the issue associated with the formation of pairs of mentors and students in order to achieve the greatest effect from their interaction. Materials and methods. In the process of achieving the research goal at the initial stage, it was planned to solve the problem of assigning a student to a mentor by forming the most “effective” pairs of mentors and students. These tasks were solved using the Hungarian method. But all the solutions obtained testified to the optimality of any solution to this problem. From this, it was concluded that there was no significance in combining mentors and students, based on a comprehensive assessment of their competencies, skills, etc. As a consequence of the result obtained and analysis of various literary sources, it was concluded that the most effective criterion for composing pairs “mentor – teaching” is compatibility (psychological and socio-psychological), the presence of which will favorably affect the effectiveness of the interaction between the mentor and the student. Consequently, the human resource management department needs, in addition to assessing the competencies, skills and other parameters of the effectiveness of mentors and students, to assess their psychotypes and/or apply various methods to determine the compatibility of the participants in the mentoring process. Results. The main result of the work is a mechanism for securing a student for a mentor and a refutation of the fact that the “effectiveness” of mentors and students, i.e. a point assessment of their competencies, skills and qualities can be a determining factor in the formation of pairs of mentors and students. Conclusion. So, when forming pairs of mentors and students, i.e. distribution of students by mentors, it is proposed to focus on their psychological and socio-psychological compatibility.
