“…Foreign research practice testifies to a variety of successes in this area [11][12][13][14]. Russian practice does not have such extensive research in this area, but it recognizes the role of mentoring in the process of working with young professionals.…”

The study raised and considered the issues of social and psychological adaptation of university graduates to professional activities in the context of growing competition in the labor market and the increasing demands of employers for young professionals who are looking not just for candidates for vacant positions, but for employees who would have the ability to quickly immerse into a professional environment and selfrealization in it. In their conclusions, the authors rely on the empirical data obtained during the questionnaire and online survey, indicating that university graduates when entering the labor market are poorly adapted to the employment process, experience difficulties and discomfort when establishing interpersonal relationships in teams and processing a significant amount of professional information. In the model of the stage-by-stage implementation of education and training of a young specialist proposed by the authors, it is noted that the issues of socio-psychological adaptation are associated with the development of the graduate’s competence and require certain adaptation mechanisms. Given the fact that the adaptation process is dependent on the psychophysical properties of the graduate, the time of its implementation and can be repeated at a new place of work, the authors propose to consider it step by step, in relation to the levels of adaptation (adaptation, partial adaptation, full adaptation) and the criteria for achieving adaptation goals by defining the role of the mentor at each stage of the process. The authors believe that the role of mentoring is related to overcoming the social and psychological adaptation problems of graduates and is a mutually beneficial form of cooperation for the employer, mentor, and young specialist.

“…A formal or an informal mentoring relationship exists in all organisations regardless of the nature, scale and business scope of the organisations and no matter the kind of products they produce or the kind of service they provide (Pandey et al, 2014). Mentoring relationship is the intimate relationship between employees at different levels or at the same level within an organisation.…”

“…Mustafa et al (2014) conducted a study among 192 professional female managers in Turkey and discovered that the guidance provided by mentors, either male or female, hardly influenced the career satisfaction of those female managers. In terms of practical application, the existing studies on how mentoring relationship influences career satisfaction mainly focus on general enterprise employees (Blickle et al, 2009;Pandey et al, 2014), and no conclusions have been reached in studies on how mentoring relationship influences the career satisfaction of young college teachers in the context of Chinese culture. Practice shows that in universities and colleges, mentoring relationship can influence the career satisfaction of young teachers by helping them to realise their overall career, income, promotion and teaching ability improvement goals and to succeed in their career, thereby further indicating the relationship between mentoring relationship and young teachers' career satisfaction.…”

“…As an important variable at the organisational level, mentoring relationship can effectively improve the career satisfaction of employees. However, existing studies on how mentoring relationship influences career satisfaction mainly focus on general enterprise employees (Blickle et al, 2009;Pandey et al, 2014), and no conclusions have been reached in studies on how mentoring relationship influences the career satisfaction of young college teachers in the context of Chinese culture. In addition, some research results have shown that both the type of mentoring relationship and the gender of mentee can moderate the relationship between mentoring relationship and career satisfaction, but the research in that field is still controversial (Ramaswami et al, 2010;Decastro et al, 2014).…”

Young teachers are the main force for the future development of universities and colleges. For individual young teachers, the degree of career satisfaction directly influences their working enthusiasm. A questionnaire survey is conducted among 300 young teachers from eight universities and colleges in China to study the relationship between mentoring relationship and career satisfaction of young college teachers, as well as the moderating effect of the type of mentoring relationship and the gender of mentee on such relationship. Results indicate that mentoring relationship has a significant positive effect on the career satisfaction of young college teachers. In addition, the type of mentoring relationship and the gender of mentee, as moderating variables, both have a moderating effect on the relationship between the mentoring relationship and career satisfaction of young college teachers, but they do not have a combined moderating effect.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Liu, R., Ye, L. and Guo, M.

“…We expect that perceived mentoring relationships would differ across the type of organizational sector (public and private sector) in the Indian context. This is because although mentoring programs are quite popular among both public and private sector organizations (Pandey and Chhaila, 2014); yet, the available literature raises several concerns that highlight difference in the mentoring program between both the sectors (Ehrich and Hansford, 2008). For example, Ehrich and Hansford (2008) based on his review of 25 studies stated that while mentoring in the public sector is more about adult development and growth; mentoring in the private sector focuses more on promotion than an individual's development.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of personality factors in influencing mentoring relationships in the South-Asian context. Design/methodology/approach The sample included 363 subjects from public and private sector organizations in North India. Findings Results revealed that in the Indian context, conscientiousness acts as significant predictor of perceived psychosocial mentoring, agreeableness acts as significant predictor of perceived career mentoring support, and emotional stability acts as significant predictor of both categories of mentoring relationships. Further, managers employed in public sector organizations were found to be high on all the Big Five personality factors and mentoring functions in contrast to managers from private sector organizations. Research limitations/implications Overall, the results suggest that mentoring relationships should operate in organizations with a firm understanding of employees’ personality traits. Implications and future research directions were also discussed. Further, suggestions have also been given for incorporating various interventions in order to handle employees with different personality attributes such as counseling for helping emotionally unstable employees manage their emotions and stress. Originality/value To the knowledge, this is the first study that seeks to examine impact of personality factors on mentoring relationships in the South-Asian context.
