description This research reports how mentorship connections affect the loyalty of Generation Z workers in Nigeria's service industry, specifically at KPMG and Zenith Bank. The study used a combination of surveys and interviews to gather data. The results show a slight negative link between mentoring and loyalty at both KPMG (r = 0.343, p <.05) and Zenith Bank (r = 0.140, p >.05). Nevertheless, qualitative feedback indicates that 84.3% of KPMG participants and 73% of Zenith Bank participants recognized the beneficial influence of mentorship on career support. These results underscore the importance of context-specific mentoring strategies to enhance employee commitment and retention.
