Abstract

Studies on mentoring projects have highlighted the polarization of subjects, unique to the role of mentoring relationships, the role of that mentor, and the influences of those groups through an individual's journey toward career development. This quantitative study aims to match and cross reference a network of people that have experienced informal and well-regulated relationships within various organizations. This study aims to examine the association of two types of fit and achievement goals, as well as examine the influence of mentorship on the relationship between fit and two dimensions of achievement goals (Mastery Approach and Performance Approach). The research is grounded in traditional management theories of person-organization fit theory, person-job fit theory, mentorship theory and achievement goals theory. The research provides a framework to examine the role of these predictor variables and their effectiveness within the business sector. Keywords: Mentoring Relationships, Person-Organization fit, Person-Job fit, Achievement goal
