  mentoring_philosophy: |-
    My mentoring philosophy is based on the following principles:
    1. I believe that each mentee is unique, possessing their own strengths and weaknesses, much like myself. I am dedicated to collaborating with each mentee to identify their goals and formulate a plan for their accomplishment. While project advancement is crucial, I equally prioritize the professional development of the mentees.
    2. I firmly believe in establishing a secure and nurturing environment where mentees feel at ease sharing their ideas and posing questions.
    3. I hold the belief that offering mentees feedback and guidance is crucial, while also granting them the space to make their own mistakes and learn valuable lessons from them.
    4. I firmly believe in recognizing the achievements of mentees and inspiring them to persist in their journey of learning and personal and professional growth.

    Introduction:
    This study will investigate the effect of eco-anxiety on the mental health and turnover intentions of employees of sustainability-related nonprofit organizations. Eco-anxiety is a growing mental health concern that is characterized by feelings of worry, fear, and helplessness about the environmental crisis. It is particularly common among people who are working in sustainability-related fields, as they are more likely to be exposed to information about the climate crisis and its potential impacts.

    Methods:
    The study will use a mixed-method research design and will collect data from a sample of employees of sustainability-related nonprofit organizations. The data will be collected using a survey that will measure eco-anxiety, depression, anxiety, stress, job satisfaction, productivity, organizational commitment, public service motivation, and turnover intentions. The qualitative data will be collected through interviews with a small sample of employees about cultural factors in the organization and their public service motivation.

    hypotheses:
    The study will test the following hypotheses:
    H1: Eco-anxiety will be positively associated with levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among sustainability-related nonprofit organizations employees.
    H2: Eco-anxiety will be negatively associated with job satisfaction, productivity, and organizational commitment among sustainability-related nonprofit organizations employees.
    H3: Eco-anxiety will be positively associated with turnover intentions among sustainability-related nonprofit organizations employees.
    H4: Cultural factors and public service motivation will mediate the relationship between eco-anxiety and turnover intentions among sustainability-related nonprofit organizations employees.

    I am confident that we will be able to publish the results of this project in a peer-reviewed journal. This would be a valuable contribution to the field of nonprofit management and sustainability, and it would also help to raise awareness of the issue of eco-anxiety.
