ABSTRACT
The integration of mindfulness into the field of executive coaching is unsurprising, given growing interest in mindfulness in the workplace. At present, the literature linking mindfulness with coaching tends to focus on the potential afforded by mindfulness techniques, while empirical assessments remain limited. The objectives of the current research are to establish preliminary understandings regarding perceived outcomes of coaching processes incorporating mindfulness techniques, and to assess the perceived outcomes of mindfulness-based coaching processes across different points of time. This study analyses the assessments of 14 Israeli professional managers, working in the education system and in the high-tech industry, of a 12-session coaching process incorporating mindfulness practices. The coachees recorded their perceptions of the coaching outcomes from each session, contemporaneously, in personal journals. In addition, coachees were interviewed twice – at the end of the coaching sessions, and two years later. The study’s findings show the benefits of mindfulness-based coaching for individuals across various domains of their lives, and its implications for coachees’ well-being and performance at work. They also show that these benefits emerge even after very short interventions, and that these benefits continue to be perceived as valuable two years after the intervention.

以正念为基础的经理培训的结果
摘要
考虑到工作场所对正念的兴趣日益浓厚,将正念融入高管培训领域也就不足为奇了。目前,将正念与教练联系起来的文献倾向于关注正念技巧所提供的潜力,而实证评估仍然有限。当前研究的目标是初步了解结合正念技巧的教练过程的感知结果,并评估不同时间点基于正念的教练过程的感知结果。本研究分析了 14 名在教育系统和高科技行业工作的以色列职业经理人对包含正念练习的 12 节辅导过程的评估。教练对象同时在个人日记中记录了他们对每次课程的教练结果的看法。此外,教练接受了两次采访——一次是在教练课程结束时,一次是在两年后。该研究的结果显示了基于正念的指导对个人生活各个领域的好处,及其对受指导者的幸福感和工作表现的影响。他们还表明,即使在非常短的干预后,这些好处也会出现,并且这些好处在干预两年后仍被认为是有价值的。该研究的结果显示了基于正念的指导对个人生活各个领域的好处,及其对受指导者的幸福感和工作表现的影响。他们还表明,即使在非常短的干预后,这些好处也会出现,并且这些好处在干预两年后仍被认为是有价值的。该研究的结果显示了基于正念的指导对个人生活各个领域的好处,及其对受指导者的幸福感和工作表现的影响。他们还表明,即使在非常短的干预后,这些好处也会出现,并且这些好处在干预两年后仍被认为是有价值的。
