Abstract

A significant number of research projects have re-confirmed that mentoring is one of the key tools for developing human capital. The aim of the study is to examine the mentoring process in companies in Poland in terms of the benefits obtained by its employees. The following research questions were asked: What kind of mentoring effects in the field of personal and professional development are obtained by mentored employees? (RQ1); Does participation in the mentoring process increase the mentees’ probability of achieving promotion in the organisational hierarchy more efficiently and/or salary increases compared to those employees who have never participated in mentoring? (RQ2) The research was conducted in a group of 392 individuals. A wide array of mixed methodological tools was applied parallelly in order to increase the accuracy of the research, including the longitudinal study, the expected versus the actual perspective comparison and the mentored versus non-mentored individuals’ perspective comparison.
