标题：The Contribution of Mentoring on Employee's Career Development with Non-Dependent Work Relation: The Case of the Networking Company LR Health & Beauty Systems
摘要：The social and economic changes that have been taken place over recent years have created new data on people's working lives (Tsitmideli et al., 2016). The rapid development of new information, technologies, communication and also demographic changes because of globalization, has put employees ahead of new challenges (Skordoulis et al., 2017). Because of these changes, the existing perception of career development has also been affected and now is characterized as a continuous process which is developed throughout an individual’s life (Zapantis et al., 2017). It is therefore necessary in many cases for new employees to receive mentoring in order to successfully cope with new challenges through career development. Essentially, mentoring is a sustained relationship with a purpose for learning and growth. From the above, but also from the literature review, it is clear that mentoring and career development are two variables that are functionally related. Furthermore, mentoring is defined as an independent variable and career development of employees as a dependent variable. The variables that were mentioned before are referring in the literature review as the most crucial and important that are related to career development. The purpose of the study is to examine the contribution of mentoring on employee’s career development and especially those who work with a non-dependent work relation in LR Health & Beauty Systems in Greece. In this research it was also necessary to investigate the contribution of employees’ career development to mentor’s characteristics and functions and the contribution between employees’ career development with non-dependent work relation. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, an overview of the relevant literature was carried out and then the results of the survey were compared with these theoretical approaches.
