Abstract
Introduction. This study examines the role of the mentoring system in Russian construction organizations, which is becoming especially relevant against the background of current trends in the labour market, where there is a shortage of personnel in this area. The purpose of the work is to analyze existing mentoring practices, identify factors influencing the formation and implementation of a mentoring system in construction companies of various sizes and specific activities, at the stage of transition to regulatory framework of mentors.
Materials and methods. The research is based on the analysis of materials from scientific publications and periodicals, regulatory legal acts related to the formation and functioning of the mentoring system, data on the labour market, the results of a survey conducted among masters working in the construction industry, and Internet resources.
Results. In the course of the work, key factors contributing to the successful introduction of mentoring were identified, including legislative changes and the specifics of the organizational structure of companies. The main results show that mentoring is actively used in many construction organizations, but its forms and content vary depending on the size of the company. In small organizations, less formalized approaches prevail, while in large companies there is a variety of methods and clearer legal framework.
Conclusions. The paper highlights the need to create a systematic approach to mentoring as a way to increase the adaptation of new specialists and reduce staff turnover, as well as recommendations on organizational and educational initiatives to improve the quality of mentoring in the construction sector.
Supporting agencies: The authors would like to thank the scientific consultants, anonymous reviewers for their useful comments, and students of the MGSU master’s degree programme for participating in the survey.
