Abstract: This article looks at the statically-complicated and dynamically-complex relations among new-recruit behavior, mentorship, and organizational loyalty and role clarity. While emphasizing organizational circumstances, we explore the connection between organizational loyalty and role clarity through a sample of 314 people, the empitican data subjected to correlation, cluster and cross-tabulation analyses. The results undisclose significant relations among new-employee behavior, mentorship, and organizational loyalty and role clarity. Namely new hires, whose organizational integration is supported by a person capable of mentorship, seem to recognize and to adopt their organizational-role clearly and timely. Besides, rookies show an increased loyalty tendency to their employer. These results are pertinent to organizational-mentorship programs that both effectively and efficiently help integrate new recruits, notably in organizational situations wherein mentor selection is critical.
