Description
Summary:This study was conducted to evaluate a direct relationship between mentors’ roles and mentees’ achievements. A total of 136 respondents in the Mentoring Programme for Public Service Department from the year 2014 to 2016 was purposively sampled. Data collected using questionnaires were analysed descriptively using Smart Partial Least Squares (SmartPLS) to evaluate the confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling for testing the hypothesised relations. The result revealed four important outcomes: First, career function was significantly related to mentees’ career satisfaction. Second, career function was significantly related to mentees’ career motivation. Third, psychosocial function was significantly related to mentees’ career satisfaction. Finally, psychosocial function was significantly related to mentees’ career motivation. These results demonstrate the ability of mentors to appropriately implement career and psychosocial functions can enhance mentees’ career achievements in the organisations examined. © UMT Press
