Abstract

There are studies focusing on mentoring functions received and its motivational outcomes, but most of these studies fail to show how and when mentoring relates to these outcomes. In order to fulfill this gap, we investigated the mediating effect of trust in mentor and the moderating role of political skill of the mentor on the relationship between mentoring functions received and psychological empowerment. We collected data from 164 employees who work in public and private organizations in Kazakhstan, and conducted a moderated mediation analysis. Based on the findings, protégés feel psychologically empowered as mentoring functions received instilled trust in mentor. However, it was also revealed that the relationship between mentoring functions received and psychological empowerment was stronger only when the mentor was perceived to have high political skill. Based on these findings, theoretical and practical implications were discussed.

Özet

Mentorluğun motivasyonel çıktılarına odaklanan çalışmalar olmakla birlikte bunların birçoğu mentorluğun nasıl ve ne zaman çıktılarla ilişkili olduğunu göstermemektedir. Bu boşluğu doldurmak için çalışmamızda, alınan mentorluk fonksiyonları ile psikolojik güçlendirme arasındaki ilişkide mentora olan güvenin aracılık ve politik yeteneğin biçimlendiricilik rolünü inceledik. Verileri Kazakistan’ın özel ve kamu şirketlerinde çalışan 164 kişiden topladık ve koşullu aracılık analizleri gerçekleştirdik. Bulgularımıza göre, alınan mentorluk fonksiyonları mentora olan güveni arttırdıkça çıraklar kendilerini psikolojik olarak güçlendirilmiş hissetmektedir. Bununla birlikte mentora olan güvenin psikolojik güçlendirmeye olan olumlu etkisinin sadece politik yeteneği yüksek algılanan mentorlar için geçerli olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Bu bulgulara uygun olarak teorik ve pratik uygulamalar tartışılmıştır.
