This research investigated the effects of mentoring on employees' performance in family business. The construction Industry in Abuja was critically investigated. The study employed a survey research design using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The population was the construction industry in Abuja. Responses from three hundred and sixty-seven construction employees were analysed. The data collected were analysed using Pearson correlation coefficient statistics technique. The findings of the study revealed that mentoring had positive effects on employees' performance; career support had more positive effect on employees' performance than psychosocial support. This research concluded that performances among employees are based on the degree of mentorship program put in place in the organisation. Employees respond better to career support in term of performance. The study concluded that mentorships had significant relationship with employee performance.

The objective of the study was to establish the relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement. The research was quantitative, and data was administered and retrieved from employees at the selected private radio firms. Content validity was utilised to ascertain the validity of the instrument, and the reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Kendall's tau_b correlation was used to shows the result of the bivariate relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement (p > 0.05); hence, we accepted the null hypothesis. To know how much variance in employee spiritual engagement can be clarified by coalition, a simple linear regression was performed; with a result of 0.1(percent), it was evidenced that coalition had no effect on employee spiritual engagement. The finding of the study showed that there is no statistical relationship between coalition and employee spiritual engagement. The result of this study also bears practical implications; executives should understand that organisations cannot achieve a zero-level coalition activity. Although this behaviour via the results does not possess a statistical relationship, executives should articulate its optimized use within acceptable terms.
