Personality Factors Impact on Success in the Mentor-Protégé RelationshipEngstrom, Truls (Avtor) Gorenak, Mitja (Avtor) personalitymentoringlearningknowledgemanagementPurpose: Based on theory from the literature, an inventory for perceived success was created to analyse the relationships between personality factors and mentoring outcomes. Study design/methodology/approach: A written questionnaire was developed incorporating the Big Five Personality Dimensions and the inventory for perceived success. The analysis examined influencing patterns between personality factors and mentoring outcome. Findings: The model predicting relationships between personality factors and mentoring outcome was supported. Additional relationships were discovered between perceived success and both age discrepancy and gender constellations. Originality/value: The study provides a three-perspective framework for analysing mentoring relationships: the personality discrepancy between participants, each individual's personality separately, and an individual's personality in relation to their counterpart's perception of mentoring outcomes. 02025-09-19 13:29:16Članek v reviji12240sl
