ABSTRACT

How coaches both experience and lead their own well-being has an important role to play in coaching; however, coaches’ individual well-being has gained less attention in training, discourse, or research to date. This paper intends to amend this deficit and provides an understanding and conceptual model of the dynamics in a coach’s individual well-being at work. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 18 coaches and the findings illustrate that Coaches’ well-being is not a static state. There are job demands of coaching that can impact a coach’s well-being and there is a need for coaches to balance their resources with a high level of agility. There are also deeper underlying dynamics to a coach’s well-being that are interrelated with each other; energy currents, self-regulation, and levels of well-being. The way in which coaches optimise their resources and energy and active management of self will help or hinder a coach’s well-being at work, which may be more difficult for novice coaches.

摘要

教练如何体验和引导他们自己的幸福在教练中扮演着重要的角色；然而，迄今为止，教练的个人幸福感在培训、讨论或研究中获得的关注较少。本文旨在弥补这一缺陷，并提供一个对教练个人工作幸福感动态的理解和概念模型。对 18 名教练进行了半结构化访谈，调查结果表明教练的幸福感不是静态的。教练的工作要求会影响教练的幸福感，教练需要以高度的敏捷性来平衡他们的资源。教练的幸福感还有更深层次的相互关联的潜在动力；能量流、自我调节和幸福水平。
