JYOTI, Jeevan  and  SHARMA, Poonam. Empirical investigation of a moderating and mediating variable in between mentoring and job performance: A structural model. Rev. psicol. trab. organ. [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.1, pp.55-67. ISSN 2174-0534.  https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.rpto.2017.01.002.

This study evaluates the role of self-efficacy between mentoring and its outcomes namely, relationship quality, communication satisfaction, and personal learning. It also examines the mediating role of relationship quality, communication satisfaction, and personal learning between mentoring and job performance. Besides, this moderated mediation relationship is also evaluated. Data has been collected from 276 employees working in banking sector in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K, India). The confirmatory factor analysis has been done for confirming the factor structure and structural equation modelling for testing the hypothesized relations. Results revealed that self-efficacy moderates the relationship between mentoring and personal learning, relationship quality, and communication satisfaction. Further the study revealed that interaction effect of mentoring and self-efficacy on job performance is mediated by personal learning, relationship quality, and communication satisfaction. The data has been collected using a questionnaire at a single point of time. For future research longitudinal study should be conducted.

Keywords : Mentoring; Self-efficacy; Personal learning; Relationship quality; Communication satisfaction; Job performance.
