Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships among protégés’ participation in formal and informal mentoring programs, knowledge-sharing behaviors, perceptions of psychological empowerment, job performance, and turnover intention. The literature suggests some uncertainty about the relationship between mentoring and turnover intention. That is, whether greater mentoring efforts result in lower rates of turnover. This study sought to help clarify the relationship and included the additional variables of knowledge-sharing behaviors and psychological empowerment. These variables were considered as mediators between formal and informal mentoring and job performance and turnover intention. The respondents of the study were online MBA students who were employed full-time and who had participated in a formal or informal mentoring program. The results of the study have theoretical and practical implications, as more information is known about the variables that influence job performance and turnover intention, which are topics of importance for practitioners.
