The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Mentor Role Scale for effective mentoring system. First, the Mentor Role Scale consisting of 48 items with 11 factors was developed based on open-ended questionnaire. With a sample of 207 employees, the result of an exploratory factor analysis showed that the factor structure of the 9 factor model with 43 items was the most meaningful. This nine factors were as follows: Friendship; Support and Development of Ability; Sponsorship; Sharing Information; Leading by example; Teaching Skills of Task Processing; Consideration; Protection; and Counselling. With a sample of 238 employees, the result of an confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the 9-factor model was meaningful. These factors were significantly related to various job-related variables, supporting criterion-related validity of the Mentor Role Scale. Based on these results, theoretical and practical implications were discussed and the limitations of this study and the directions for future study were discussed.
