Abstract: | This article concerns the "promotion of non-commitment" from mentor to protégé, that is the process by which mentors may provide their protégés with a discourse encouraging them to distance themselves from their organizations rather than commit themselves to them. It is based on two surveys of managerial-level employees, one using a mentor sample and the other one using a protégé sample. Results of the first study showed that mentor promotion of non-commitment was negatively related to mentor affective organizational commitment. The second study indicated that the mentor promotion of non-commitment was negatively related to protégé affective organisational commitment. Nevertheless, this relationship's strength depends on whether it is formal or informal. |
