The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of mentoring function on both organizational effectiveness and job performance. In addition, it was intended to verify mediating effects of self-efficacy on the relationship between them. During the research, the mentoring function is set as career development function and psycho-social function.
Organizational effectiveness is represented by organizational commitment and turnover intention. Job performance is equated with in-role performance and extra-role performance.
The research data are obtained through a survey targeted for 266 flight attendants of an airline company with well-established team system. The analysis is carried out using SPSS and AMOS. The results of the research are as follow: psycho-social function was only positively associated with self-efficacy of new flight attendants. Career development function of mentoring and self-efficacy were positively related to organizational commitment and job
performance and negatively related to turnover intention , however psycho-social function was incapable of providing adequate explanation for these work outcomes. Team members’ self-efficacy fully mediated the relationship between psycho-social function and organizational commitment, job performance and turnover intention. Considering the results, team leader should apply appropriate the mentoring function to new flight attendants in order to enhance the organizational commitment and job performance and reduce turnover intention. Suggestions for future study of mentoing function of new flight attendants in association with organizational effectiveness and job performance are discussed.
