The satisfaction of employees is the most essential in corporate strategy of hotel companies that are quality-oriented. Needs of employees include internal factors such as job-related tasks, and external factors that involve wages, positions, stability, supervision, role conflicts, organizational structures, and job atmosphere. More corporations begin to think that whether to satisfy end-users depends on management competence to meet the needs of employees. Thus, human resources management factors are required as it can have an effect on self-development, career exploitation, structure adjustment, immersion, and job satisfaction.
Consequently, this study aims to analyze the effects of mentoring network on career usefulness and organization effectiveness of a person according to characteristics of mentors and mentees, through making surveys into hotel companies who employ the mentoring network. Based on it, the study comes up with efficient mentoring programs, providing necessary information to hotel entities which desire to adopt the system to their organizations.
To gain this goal, both literature study and empirical study have been made. The purpose of the literature study is to suggest how to reinforce corporate competitiveness based on career usefulness and organizational effectiveness through mentoring network of hotel companies; in this study, books and literature home and abroad, statistics and periodicals of relevant agencies, and internet materials have been used.
A theory has been established with regard to organizational effectiveness and reinforcement of competitiveness through mentoring network, and study models and hypothesis have subsequently set up. For empirical analysis, a total of 520 copies of questionnaires were distributed to 13 hotels, 40 copies each, and 499 copies among them were responded.
Invalid 51 responses were excluded and only 448 effective samples were used for this empirical analysis. Collected materials through this study went through data coding and data cleaning and were analyzed by SPSS 13.0 for Windows, a statistic package program.
As for statistics, descriptive statistics and multivariate statistical analysis have been employed. Through descriptive statistics, simple frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were produced, supplying frequency tables and descriptive statistic amount of every parameter. Among multivariate statistical analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, crosstabulation analysis, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were used. The empirical analysis showed the following results.
First, the study has shown that functional factors of mentoring network such as psychosocial assistance factor, course development promotion factor, role model factor, friendship and protection factor, have significant effects on formal mentoring. The psychosocial assistance factor, and friendship and protection factor have significant effects on informal mentoring, while course development promotion factor and role model factor have no effects on informal mentoring.
The survey shows that the formal mentoring in the hotel organization has positive effects on career usefulness, but informal mentoring not to have effect on it.
Third, the study has revealed that the formal mentoring in hotel organizations have positive influence upon organization effectiveness, but informal mentoring does not affect career satisfaction factor while it affects job satisfaction factor, organization immersion factor, job transfer intention.
Fourth, in terms of the effects of mentoring network upon career usefulness, it has been found that career development factor, information competitiveness factor, innovative self-development factor have significant effects.
Fifth, in terms of the effects of mentoring network upon organizational effectiveness, the survey has showed that job satisfaction factor, organization immersion factor, career satisfaction factor have significant effects while job transfer factor has little effect.
To put it together, formal mentoring network serves for career usefulness and organizational effectiveness with significant correlation, and informal mentoring has relatively low correlation with them.
And thus, newcomers can be readily settled in hotel organization through mentoring network that includes acquiring job skills, consultation about personal troubles, and in-house personnel network. While mentors guide junior employees preparing them for a chance to reflect, they can train themselves through strongly being motivated by young and excellent junior employees, as well as communication and coaching skills.
The mentoring system would surely and greatly serve as an effective management tool to revitalize the organization through deeper understanding amd exchanges among individuals, positions and departments and thus to harmonize the entire organization, while they are on the mentor-mentee relation.
Given that the hotel of this study are operated in different management environment, it is surely doubtful that uniform surveys into comparison of career usefulness and organizational effectiveness can adequately explain real fact-findings. Another limitation of this study is whether the samples of this survey can be served as a representative eligible to be generalized; hotel employees are not evenly organized in each department and each department has very different valid samples, which suggests that those samples cannot have eligible representativeness.
Thus, further study should be made in a systematic way, with clear information on operation of each department.
