Mentoring, Organizational Commitment, and Turnover Intention in Nepalese Banking Organizations

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the concepts, types, and mentoring functions and also examine the relationship between mentoring and organizational commitment and turnover intentions.  Exploratory and descriptive correlational research designs have been used to show the status and relationship among mentoring, organizational commitment, and turnover intentions in banking organizations. Non-probability purposive sampling and open-ended and five-point Likert-scale questionnaire methods for data collection with 20 respondents among protégés who were working at the Commercial Bank of Nepal confirmed mentoring functions have a positively significant relationship with organizational commitment and a negative association with protégés' turnover intentions. Similarly, the organizational commitment has been negatively associated with the protégé turnover intentions.  The results have an original value to contribute to understanding different aspects of mentoring functions that exist in the Nepal and have both theoretical and practical values.
