The study utilized a cross-sectional design to determine the relationship between positive and negative mentoring experiences and intentions to engage in future formal mentoring and the mediating role of aspects of social exchange theory particularly Negotiated Exchange Orientation and Perceived Organization Support. The study was conducted among 303 nurses and midwives working in acute care hospitals in Uganda. The results showed that, in the negative mentoring model, Perceived Organization Support fully mediated the relationship between lack of mentor expertise and willingness to participate in formal mentoring programs (B = -0.201, 95% CI [-0.399, -0.056]). In the positive mentoring model, indirect effects were observed for the relationship between Individual Influence variable and willingness to participate in formal mentoring programs mediated by Perceived Organization Support (B = 0.131, 95% CI [0.011, 0.283]). Furthermore, indirect effects were observed between the Relational Quality variable and willingness to participate in formal mentoring programs mediated by Negotiated Exchange Orientation (B = 0.081, 95% CI [0.008, 0.183]). Therefore, the social exchange theory can explain the relationship between past mentoring experiences and future intentions to engage in mentoring activities.
该研究采用横断面设计，以确定积极和消极的指导经历与未来参与正式指导的意愿之间的关系，以及社会交换理论各方面（特别是协商交换取向和感知组织支持）的中介作用。该研究在乌干达急症护理医院工作的303名护士和助产士中进行。结果表明，在消极指导模型中，感知组织支持完全中介了缺乏指导专业知识与参与正式指导计划意愿之间的关系（B = -0.201，95%CI[-0.399，-0.056]）。在积极指导模型中，观察到个体影响变量与参与正式指导计划意愿之间的关系通过感知组织支持中介产生的间接效应（B = 0.131，95%CI[0.011，0.283]）。此外，观察到关系质量变量与参与正式指导计划意愿之间的间接效应通过协商交换取向中介产生（B = 0.081，95%CI[0.008，0.183]）。因此，社会交换理论可以解释过去的指导经历与未来参与指导活动意愿之间的关系。
