ABSTRACT

Previous studies examining coaching outcomes generally rely on cross-sectional data which limits our understanding of the enduring and long-term effects of coaching. To address this issue, this study, based on longitudinal data, explores several popular variables associated with coaching outcomes. The study is underpinned by Lambert’s [(1992). Lambert, M. J. (1992). Psychotherapy outcome research: Implications for integrative and eclectic therapists. In J. C. Norcross, & M. R. Goldfried (Eds.), Handbook of psychotherapy integration (pp. 94–129). Basic Books] four-factor model of common factors and recognises them as variables which are customary to all coaching approaches contributing to coaching outcomes. The study considers stress, wellbeing, resilience, goal attainment and coaching effectiveness as coaching outcomes. Working alliance mediates the impact of self-efficacy, outcome expectations; and perceived social support which are regarded as the predictors of the coaching outcomes. The results indicate that social support predicts working alliance, and working alliance in turn predicts wellbeing and coaching effectiveness over time. The findings suggest that it is vital for coaches to monitor changes in the coachees’ social networks and their working alliance since these have a significant bearing on the effectiveness of the sessions and the coachees’ wellbeing.

摘要

以往研究教练结果的研究通常依赖于横断面数据，这限制了我们对教练的持久和长期影响的理解。为了解决这个问题，本研究基于纵向数据，探讨了与教练结果相关的几个流行变量。该研究得到了 Lambert 的 [(1992) 的支持。兰伯特，MJ (1992)。心理治疗结果研究：对综合和不拘一格的治疗师的影响。在 JC Norcross, & MR Goldfried (Eds.),心理治疗整合手册（第 94-129 页）。基础书籍] 共同因素的四因素模型，并将它们识别为变量，这些变量是所有有助于教练结果的教练方法的惯用变量。该研究将压力、幸福感、复原力、目标达成和教练有效性视为教练成果。工作联盟调节自我效能、结果期望的影响；和感知到的社会支持被视为教练结果的预测因素。结果表明，社会支持可以预测工作联盟，而工作联盟反过来又可以随着时间的推移预测幸福感和教练的有效性。研究结果表明，对于教练来说，监控受训者社交网络及其工作联盟的变化至关重要，因为这些对课程的有效性和受训者的幸福感有重大影响。
