Abstract: Objective This study investigated the academic leadership status of mentors and mentor-mentee relationship in a tertiary hospital of Capital Medical University and further analyzed the relationship between them.Methods Graduate students in the hospital were sampled by the Academic Supervisor Leadership Scale(ASLS), Abusive Behavior Measurement Scale (ABMS) and Leader-Member Exchange Scale (LMXS), and the differences between groups were compared by two independent samples t test or one way ANOVA, correlations among groups were analyzed by Pearson or Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results A total of 158 graduate students participated in the survey. The scores of the ASLS, ABMS and LMXS were (112.23±19.01), (16.26±5.55) and (29.80±4.94). The scoring rates were 89.8%, 21.7% and 85.1% respectively. After group comparison, it was found that the scores of developing and motivating dimensions of ASLS and LMXS of mentors with different mentoring frequency were statistically significant. Mentor guidance frequency was positively correlated with scores of developing and motivating dimensions of ASLS and of LMXS. ABMS scores were negatively correlated with ASLS and LMXS scores. LMXS scores were positively correlated with ASLS scores, and the regression equation: ASLS=40.422-0.816ABMS+2.799LMXS could be deduced (F=52.031, P<0.001, R2=0.722).Conclusion The scores of developing and motivating dimensions of ASLS and LMXS of mentors with different mentoring frequency were statistically significant. The guidance frequency had positive influence and the critical behavior had negative influence on the ASLS and the LMXS, and the mentor-mentee relationship had positive influence on ASLS. It calls on relevant departments of colleges and universities to attach great importance to the understanding, evaluating and cultivating of academic leadership of mentors, organizing training programs for them, promoting the establishment of good mentor-mentee relationship and mentor's academic supervisor leadership.
