On the basis of a model developed by Hunt and Michael ((1983)), this S
tudy Showed that protege characteristics (ethnicity and education), gr
oup characteristics (intragroup trust and leader approachability), and
the gender and racial composition of the mentoring pair had significa
nt effects on psychosocial mentoring among a sample of working profess
ionals from a large, private hospital. Psychosocial mentoring was asso
ciated with increased job involvement and self-esteem at work and a de
creased propensity to leave the organization. (C) 1998 Academic Press.
