Abstract
High-quality mentoring relationship
and relational energy (RE)
developed during the interaction
between leaders and subordinates
are major determinants of
desirable employees work outcomes.
There are two unanswered
questions about relationships involving
these variables, how do
different leadership styles affect
relational energy and quality of
mentoring relationship? What role
does relational energy play in the
relationship between leadership
styles and high-quality mentoring
relationship? Cross-sectional
study involving 210 participants
from 4 organizations in Nigeria,
indicate that servant leadership
is related to RE and quality of
mentoring relationship, while autocratic
and transactional leadership
styles are not related to
any of the variables. The results
also confirm the critical position
of RE in the development of high
quality mentoring relationship.
