研究了师徒关系对初来乍到者在组织社会化早期学习过程中的影响，重点考察了初来乍到者如何从潜在信息源（导师、主管、同事、观察、实验和客观参照）中获取环境（任务、角色、群体、组织）重要内容域的信息。结果表明，有导师和没有导师的新手在信息获取方面存在差异。那些有导师的人倾向于依靠观察他人和他们的导师，而那些没有导师的人通常依靠观察和同事来获取关于他们新环境的信息。受指导和未受指导的新人之间最显著的差异出现在组织领域；与没有指导的新人相比，那些有导师的人能够学到更多关于组织问题和实践的知识。讨论了这些发现的意义。
An investigation of the effects of mentoring relationships on the learning process of newcomers during early organizational socialization experiences was undertaken by focusing on how newcomers acquired information about the important content domains of the setting (task, role, group, organization) from potential information sources (mentor, supervisor, co-workers, observation, experimentation, and objective referents). The results indicated different patterns of information acquisition for newcomers with and without mentors. Those with mentors tended to rely on observation of others and their mentors, while those without mentors generally relied on observation and co-workers to acquire information about their new setting. The most significant difference between mentored and nonmentored newcomers emerged for the organizational domain; those with mentors were able to learn more about organizational issues and practices compared to nonmentored newcomers. Implications of these findings are discussed.
