Drawing on the social cognitive theory, this study investigated the effect of mentors' drinking norms on their protégés' alcohol misuse by focusing on the mediating role of conformity drinking motives and the moderating role of moral disengagement. We conducted a three-wave survey of 148 mentor–protégé dyads and found that mentors' drinking norms were positively related to their protégés' alcohol misuse and that this relationship was fully mediated by conformity drinking motives. Moreover, the moderated mediation model revealed that moral engagement strengthens the main effects of mentors' drinking norms on conformity drinking motives and the indirect effects of mentors' drinking norms on protégés' alcohol misuse via enhanced conformity drinking motives. The theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The objective of the study is to prove the suitability between the implementation of human capital disclosures on the financial statements of local governments in Indonesia and the political system, economic system, legal system, social and cultural system, and accounting infrastructure system based on institutional theory. The study is carried out by conducting a meta-analysis on human capital disclosure fit to institutional theory. The study finds that it is more appropriate using accounting infrastructure system for human capital disclosures on the financial statements of local governments in Indonesia. Based on a meta-analysis, it is found that the normative isomorphism is widely used in Indonesia. It should be implemented on human capital disclosures on the financial statements of local governments in Indonesia. Then, it is also found that there are many regulations on human capital but there are only a few human capital disclosures on the financial statements of local governments in Indonesia.

Research on mentorship has been dominated by the West and little is known about the cultural variations of the mentoring phenomenon in Asian countries. A richer understanding of the cultural context that is more attuned to mentoring experience in Asia can help to improve workplace experience, in general, for those working in and for those who intend to work in the region. This chapter captures the important theoretical lenses in the mentoring literature, and also provides a clear demarcation between negative mentoring and dysfunctional mentoring. This is followed by contextualizing mentoring as per four of Hofstede's six cultural dimensions by dwelling on mentoring experience in countries such as China, India, Pakistan, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. It is hoped that this chapter will pave the way for further research, which may be a precursor for theory development.
