博士 === 雲林科技大學 === 管理研究所博士班 === 98 === ABSTRACT This study aimed primarily at exploring the effects of contextual factors(cooperative context , group support and group process) and individual factor(similarity) on positive and negative mentoring experience, and the relationships between these mentoring experiences with prot?縵?臃 working outcomes(professional commitment, role pressure and satisfaction) and the differences of mentor-prot?縵? relationship structure(formal vs. Informal and subordinate vs. non-subordinate prot?縵?臃) on perceptions of mentoring. A total of 270 completed valid questionnaires of hospitality interns were subjected to linear hierarchical regression analysis and t test. Results indicated subordinate prot?縵?臃 reported more career functions than non-subordinate prot?縵?臃. Futher, results supported that relationships between group process and career functions, and confirmed that perceived similarity were significantly correlated with all mentoring functions and experiences(positive and negative). Moreover, results also revealed that career functions were significantly correlated with job satisfaction, role ambiguity and affective commitment. Psychosocial function has significantly relationship on role ambiguity, role conflict and continuous commitment. Role model function has positive relationship on job satisfaction, affective commitment and continuous commitment. In contrast, mismatch only has significant relationship on normative commitment, and manipulative behavior has a significantly positive relationship on role ambiguity. Finally, the implications of these findings and the directions for future research are discussed.
