Jamovi and Process Macro were used for analysis.ResultsThe positive association between self‐concordance and protégés’ life purpose is stronger when mentor feedback environment is high than when mentor feedback environment is low.ConclusionProtégés’ life purpose can be enhanced by self‐concordance, especially for protégés who work in supportive mentor feedback environment.Implications for nursing managementIt is important to build a supportive mentor feedback environment.
