Abstract. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between gender type in mentorship and mentees’ advancement using 153 usable questionnaires gathered from employees who worked in a public university in East Malaysia, Malaysia. The results of exploratory factor analysis confirmed that the measurement scales used in this study satisfactorily meet the standards of validity and reliability analyses. Next, the outcomes of stepwise regression analysis showed four important findings: firstly, interaction between same-gender positively and significantly correlated with mentees’ career. Secondly, interaction between cross-gender positively and signifycantly correlated with mentees’ career. Thirdly, interaction between same-gender positively and significantly correlated with mentees’ psychosocial. Fourthly, interaction between cross-gender positively and significantly correlated with mentees’ psychosocial.Further, this result demonstrates that gender type does act as an important antecedent of mentees’ career and psychosocial in the mentoring programme model of the organizational sample. In addition, discussion, implications and conclusion are elaborated.

Keywords: gender type; mentorship; mentees’ career and psychosocial; Malaysia.
