The Impact of Role Modeling on Proteges' Personal Learning and Work-to-Family Enrichment
Kwan, Ho Kwong; Mao, Yina; Zhang, Haina
Journal of Vocational Behavior, v77 n2 p313-322 Oct 2010
The present study investigates the impact of role modeling as perceived by proteges on their personal learning (i.e., relational job learning and personal skill development) and work-to-family enrichment (WFE). Results from a two-wave field survey of 173 proteges in the People's Republic of China indicate that role modeling positively affects relational job learning and personal skill development. However, personal skill development rather than relational job learning was found to be positively related to WFE and to mediate the relationship between role modeling and WFE. The theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
