The results were as follows: first, team support, organizational communication, and organizational commitment all had significant impacts on job satisfaction; second, the group participating in mentoring programs showed higher latent mean values for team support, organizational communication, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. However, the analysis of the influential differences in latent variables showed no significant differences between the two groups. This study identified the effects of mentoring programs by comparing those who participated with those who did not.
