摘要
This article deals with the 'promotion of non-commitment' from mentor to protege, that is the process by which mentors may provide their proteges with a discourse encouraging them to distance themselves from their organizations rather than commit themselves to them. It is based on two surveys of managerial-level employees, one using a mentor sample and the other one using a protege sample. Results of the first study indicated that mentor promotion of non-commitment was negatively related to mentor affective organizational commitment. The second study showed that the mentor promotion of non-commitment was negatively related to protege affective organisational commitment. However, this relationship was weaker in the case of formal mentorships than in that of informal mentorships.
