In this study, we integrate two careers-related literatures-callings research and mentoring research-by examining how mentoring relationships might help close the gap between people's perception of a calling and actually living out their calling. Drawing on work as calling theory (WCT; Duffy, Dik, Douglass, England, & Velez, 2018) as a framework, our results first revealed that, consistent with previous research, perceiving a calling is an important antecedent to living a calling. However, in our sample of 129 U.S. teachers, results further showed that the relationship between perceiving a calling and living a calling is stronger for those with a mentor in their profession. We additionally extend WCT by examining both positive and potentially negative outcomes associated with living a calling, focusing on stress-related outcomes. Our findings revealed that, in addition to reporting higher levels of job satisfaction and work engagement, those who were living their calling experienced lower rates of stress-related absenteeism and reported fewer somatic complaints than those who did not believe they were living their calling. In sum, this study is unique in its integration of two focal careers-related literatures, and it provides practical implications for professionals, counselors, educators, and organizations.

感知召唤、践行召唤和召唤结果：指导如何重要。

在这项研究中，我们整合了两个与职业相关的文献——召唤研究和指导研究——通过检查指导关系如何帮助缩小人们对召唤的感知与实际实现召唤之间的差距。借鉴工作作为呼唤理论（WCT；Duffy、Dik、Douglass、England 和 Velez，2018 年）作为框架，我们的结果首先表明，与之前的研究一致，感知呼唤是实现呼唤的重要前提。然而，在我们的 129 名美国教师样本中，结果进一步表明，对于在其职业中有导师的人来说，感知呼召和活出呼召之间的关系更强。我们还通过检查与生活呼唤相关的积极和潜在消极结果来扩展 WCT，重点关注与压力相关的结果。我们的调查结果显示，除了报告更高水平的工作满意度和工作投入外，与不相信自己的使命的人相比，那些生活在自己生活中的人与压力相关的缺勤率更低，报告的躯体投诉也更少。总之，本研究在整合两个与职业相关的焦点文献方面是独一无二的，它为专业人士、辅导员、教育工作者和组织提供了实际意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。这项研究的独特之处在于它整合了两个与职业相关的重点文献，它为专业人士、辅导员、教育工作者和组织提供了实际意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。这项研究的独特之处在于它整合了两个与职业相关的重点文献，它为专业人士、辅导员、教育工作者和组织提供了实际意义。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
