✦ Synopsis
This research examined linkages between mentor leadership behaviors (laissez-faire, transactional contingent reward, and transformational), prote ge perception of mentoring functions received (career development and psychosocial support) and jobrelated stress of 204 mentor±prote ge dyads. Results of Partial Least Squares analysis revealed that mentor transformational behavior was more positively related to mentoring functions received than transactional contingent reward behavior, while mentor laissez-faire behavior was negatively related to mentoring functions received. Both mentor transformational behavior and mentoring functions received were negatively related to prote ge job-related stress. The relationship between mentor transformational behavior and prote ge job-related stress was moderated by the level of mentoring functions received. Results are discussed as they relate to researchers and practitioners who are becoming interested in ®nding ways to develop organizational members and allay job-related stress.
