Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to explore the causal relationship between mentoring program design and mentor participation. Results indicated that offering time in work significantly increased a mentor’s willingness to participate and a mediation analysis revealed that time in work increased an individual’s likelihood to participate through the mechanism of perceived organizational support.
