“…Regarding safety and crisis management, formal mentoring was found to improve safety performance in high-reliability organizations through the mentee's enhanced self-expansion and self-efficacy (Liu et al, 2021), which relates to our findings of improving one's sense of achievement.…”

“…Scholars have also found that formal mentoring programs in high-reliability organizations improve safety performance through the mentee's enhanced self-expansion and self-efficacy (Liu et al, 2021). However, to our knowledge, there is little empirical evidence of mentorship in simulation and training for safety and crisis preparedness.…”

To sustain professional safety and crisis preparedness in a high-risk context, simulation and training are imperative. Mentors who are specialists and highly experienced in their field are found to play an important role in safety and crisis management training exercises. The exercises span from mass rescue operations to oil spills, hybrid threats, and natural disasters. Students are to play out the roles of crisis management of organizations that should mobilize following the disaster, such as the police, municipalities, and other organizations. The students of the crisis preparedness and management master program at Nord University are already working in safety-critical industries but rarely have practical knowledge of their roles in the exercises and crisis management in general. Exercises are therefore conducted to bridge the gap between the students' theoretical and practical knowledge. The research question is as follows: How can the role of mentors help optimize learning processes in safety and crisis management training? Specialists and highly experienced practitioners function as mentors who, in this research, are found to be valuable in bridging the aforementioned gap by supporting the students in their learning process through (1) facilitating reflection, (2) ensuring safe interaction and the students' ability to feel a (3) sense of achievement.

Background: Work safety performance assessment is one part of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System activity, which aims to ensure workers' right to safety and health in the workplace and increase productivity. Further identification of factors related to safety performance needs to be done to ensure the quality of the assessment results is accurate, effective, and efficient. Methods: This study is a literature review conducted to explore factors related to the performance of occupational safety and health programs. The literature search was conducted in September 2021. The research sources were taken from several databases, namely Science Direct, ProQuest, and Google Scholar. The Science Direct database found 823 articles, 8,802 ProQuest, and 3,200 Google Scholars. From the entire database, only 22 articles met the inclusion criteria. The variables in this study are the performance of OHS, OHS management system, and work. Results: This literature review shows that there are 19 personal factors, 19 work environment factors, 13 technical factors and 37 organizational factors related to the effectiveness of occupational safety and health program performance. Conclusion: Factors related to occupational safety and health program performance are grouped into four main factors, namely personal factors, work environment factors, technical factors, and organizational factors.

“…However, the mentoring relationship is central to the success of these mentorship programmes. Despite this, research on the lived experiences of the mentoring relationship within organisational contexts is disproportionately sparse and yet to be fully conceptualised in literature (Hu et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2021;Mantzourani et al, 2022).…”

Orientation: The way work is performed changes continuously and mentoring is becoming more prevalent in the workplace and this rapid modification of work profiles mentoring relationships as vital.Research purpose: This study explored the mentor’s and mentee’s experiences in the same relationship at a construction firm offering a formal mentoring programme.Motivation for the study: A more comprehensive understanding of the mentoring relationship was required to aid organisations with agile and robust talent and skills development interventions.Research approach/design and method: A qualitative research design was employed and in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted. Data were analysed in two phases: (1) direct content analysis and (2) thematic analyses. The study’s findings are singularly reported to comprehensively understand the mentoring relationship’s lived experiences.Main findings: The experiences of the mentoring relationship in a workplace context are viewed as informal, mutualistic, and context-bound. Four key themes emerged from the mentoring relational interaction: (1) positive relationship, (2) growth and enablement, (3) psychological safety, and (4) purposeful.Practical/managerial implications: The findings could assist organisations in realising the importance of mentoring relationships in mentoring programmes, as the interaction proves effective in solving pressing challenges, such as attracting and retaining talent and addressing skills gaps.Contribution/value-add: This study conceptualises the mentoring relationship from an organisational context and contributes to the limited available literature on the topic. Possible recommendations are offered to improve workplace mentoring relationships.
