Allen, T. D. (2003). Mentoring others: A Dispositional and motivational approach. Journal of Vocational Behavior, 62(1), 134–154.

​

The focus of this study was on improving our understanding of the mentoring predispositions and mentoring functions from the mentor's viewpoint. Building on social psychological, and organizational behavior theories of prosocial behavior, the authors endeavored to identify individual difference variables ascribed to mentors. They also examined prosocial personality characteristics and personal motives for mentoring others.

​

This study may foreshadow future findings at recovery facilities charged with piloting MRP. This research report on the first therapeutic use of SEIQoL has shown that counsellors believe it is feasible to introduce the tool in the counselling process at an early stage. As well as the intervention and continue to use it as a review tool or as requested by the service users themselves. SEIQoL, in the counsellors' view, the author contends, is flexible, easy and quick to use and understand and identified with by the client.

​

From this study, several implications exist for practice. Mentors in the present study reported moderate levels of all four short-term mentoring benefits and were particularly likely to report that mentoring was rewarding. Revealed was that none of the short-term mentor benefits in their study were predictive of the objective career success measures of promotion or compensation. It was recommended that organizations exercise care in not overstating the possible outcomes that mentors might expect from mentoring others.

Forret, M., & de Janasz, S. (2005). Perceptions of an organization's culture for work and family. Career Development International, 10(6/7), 478–492.

 

The authors' study found that protégés had more favorable perceptions than non‐protégés of the

organization's work‐family culture – the degree to which integration of employees' work and family lives are supported. In the predicted direction, having a mentor was significantly related to each component of work‐family culture (managerial support, time demands, and career consequences).

Mixed ratings of one case in this study point to the implications of bypassing the critical step of assessing authenticity. Although actors may not be able to portray convincingly all clients seen in substance abuse treatment, the methodology does hold promise for training and education purposes.

Evidence was found for several individuals and organizational factors not previously reported to be associated with staff burnout. These findings might help guide future burnout prevention efforts, such as pointing to the need for criminal justice agencies to work actively toward achieving a better organizational climate. A clearly articulated and communicated mission statement may have its most significant impact by decreasing potential role ambiguity, shown previously to be related to burnout.
