With its complexity and variety, a modern society undergoes changes far more rapidly than the one in the past making it much more difficult for an individual to adjust to an organization.
The process of an individual being adjusted to, and eventually becoming a standing member of an organization is called "organization socialize". In this process, the Mentor plays important role.
The experienced senior in an organization is usually appointed as a mentor who helps and leads the newcomers to become adjusted to a new environment and acts as a counsellor to them.

First, does the personality of a mentor make any difference in mentoring ?
Second, does the mentoring influence organization efficiency ?
Third, is there any difference between formal mentoring and informal mentoring in terms of influence ?
The result of this study shows that the extraversion, concientionsness and openness of the mentor's individual character have positive effect on mentoring, and neuroticism and agreeableness of the mentor's personality have negative effect on mentoring.
The personality of the mentor plays remarkable role in the process for the mentee being adjusted and socialized to the organization.
As far as the influence that mentoring has on the effectiveness of organization is concerned, counselling, friendship and acceptance of the mentoring functions have positive effect on the job satisfaction, while coaching and friendship have positive effect on the organizational commitment.
