The experience of mentoring can reduce the negative impact of plateauing on job satisfaction; but the failure to confirm the moderating role of mentoring in the relationship between the content plateauing and tendency to leave the organization is due to the lack of significant direct role of content plateauing on desire to leave the organization and the existence of mediator variables.
