Abstract Based on person-environment fit theory, this study aimed to examine how and in what circumstance mentoring influence post-90s newcomers’ well-being in the organization. A four-waved timed-lagged survey in new generation newcomers provided convergent support of this model.

Further, mentoring had a positive indirect influence on post-90s newcomers’ well-being in the organization through their perception of person-job fit. In addition, moderated mediation analysis revealed political skill augmented mentoring direct effect on person-job fit perception and indirect effect on well-being in the organization.
