ABSTRACT. This study examines: the effects of mentoring on auditors’ relationships with non-mentor supervisors; which mentoring functions affect protégé relationships with non-mentor supervisors; and the mediating effect of organizational justice on the mentoring/auditor-supervisor relationship. A survey of 110 audit professionals shows that protégés have more positive auditor-supervisor relationships than nonprotégés. However, organizational justice mediates this relationship; having a mentor produces higher organizational justice perceptions which produce more positive auditor-supervisor relationships. Only psychosocial support relates to higher auditor-supervisor relationship ratings.
