ABSTRACT

The objectives of this review were to better understand the types of research available on leadership coaching in succession planning, identify gaps in the literature and outline future research areas. We used a scoping review protocol to determine to what extent these concepts have been studied together. The Joanna Briggs Institute Scoping Review Protocol was used. We found 22 articles that studied these concepts together. Results indicated that the literature has focused on the use of coaching, not its effectiveness in relation to succession planning and has been mainly qualitative and descriptive in nature. Most measured outcomes related to leadership coaching and succession is focused only on the perceptions of participants, not tangible outcomes. Succession planning and leadership coaching have been studied in the literature independently, however, there is little research to ascertain the impact of leadership coaching on succession planning. This study examines the literature and provided directions for future research.

摘要

这篇综述的目的是更好地了解接班人计划中有关领导力教练的研究类型，找出文献中的空白并概述未来的研究领域。我们使用范围界定审查协议来确定将这些概念一起研究到何种程度。使用了Joanna Briggs Institute范围界定审查协议。我们发现22篇文章一起研究了这些概念。结果表明，文献关注的是教练的使用，而不是其在继任计划方面的有效性，并且本质上主要是定性和描述性的。与领导力培训和继任有关的大多数可衡量的结果都只关注参与者的看法，而不是实际的结果。继任计划和领导力辅导已在文献中进行了独立研究，但是，很少有研究可以确定领导力教练对继任计划的影响。这项研究检查了文献，并为将来的研究提供了方向。
