Abstract

This study examined the influence of transformational leadership and supervisory mentoring on follower career success and the mediating influence of the self-concept on these relationships. Data were obtained from 209 subordinate-supervisor dyads in a large state-owned company in China. Structural equation modeling results corroborated by tests of the significance of indirect effects, revealed both transformational leadership and supervisory mentoring to relate to promotability assessment, salary, and career satisfaction. However, these results were shown to be indirect through job-specific self- efficacy and organization-based self-esteem (OBSE). Specifically, job-specific self-efficacy mediated the influence of the leadership constructs on OBSE which, in turn, mediated the influence of job-specific self-efficacy on the career success measures.
