“…Passmore and Fillery-Travis (2011) provided a comprehensive review of business coaching research up to the late 2010s, but details on how they selected papers for inclusion in their review are limited, and the review incorporated both research papers and other discussions of business coaching, with a continuing emphasis on connections to the counseling literature. Stern and Stout-Rostron (2013) provided a more traditional narrative literature review based on 263 papers about coaching from both a wide range of disciplines. The aim of this review was to describe coverage of 16 major topics in business coaching, and the review did not address issues of research quality or the nature of evidence about the topics examined.…”

Her qualifications in applied psychology and sociology support her research interests in understanding how communities and organisations perceive, plan for, and manage tourism development opportunities and how tourists learn about and from their travel experiences. CHALLENGES FOR THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF BUSINESS COACHING: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE AbstractUntil recently there has been little published systematic empirical research into business coaching. This paper reports on a systematic, critical review of 111 published empirical papers investigating business coaching theory, processes and outcomes. The present paper identifies a significantly larger body of empirical research than covered in previous reviews and uses a Systematic Review method (SRm) to conduct a comprehensive review of the available empirical evidence into business coaching effectiveness focusing on implications for theoretical development, practice (within human resource development) and further research in this area. This review identifies convergence around factors that contribute to perceived effective coaching practice but nevertheless highlights a number of issues to be resolved in further research. These include determining the primary beneficiaries of coaching, the factors that contribute to coach credibility, and how the organisational and social context impacts on coaching. Weaknesses in coaching research methodology and research gaps are also noted.

“…Although there has been an enormous upsurge in papers on coaching in scholarly journals (Grant, ), unlike the study of leadership or team effectiveness, the study of coaching is still in its infancy and informed by many academic disciplines (Stern & Stout‐Rostron, ). In addition to a comprehensive understanding of the underlying theoretical frameworks guiding the research and practice of coaching, which has still not been developed, more research is needed into factors affecting coaching effectiveness.…”

“…Aspects of coaching in organizations, including internal systems for support, are an under‐researched area of the literature (Stern & Stout‐Rostron, ). Studies have found the need for organizations to provide support to coachees (Rocereto et al ., ); ensure commitment from senior management (Baron & Morin, ; Smither et al ., ) and share the responsibility for the coaching goals and outcomes (Wasylyshyn et al ., ).…”

Studies on coaching have largely explored effectiveness from the perspective of a coach or employing organization rather than that of the employee or coachee. There has also been a focus on ‘successful’ coaching, but little is known about unsuccessful coaching or the hindrances to achieving coaching success. Many empirical studies on training interventions have found that support and help for employees from managers and others within the workplace enhances training effectiveness and there is an assumption in coaching studies that this will also be true for coaching interventions. This study addresses the gap in academic literature by exploring survey responses from 296 industry professionals in 34 countries who had been, or were currently being, coached. The study found that facing barriers during the period of coaching engagements was common and we present a categorization framework of six barrier categories. Our analysis suggests that three of these barrier categories may be predictive of coachee perceptions of limited coaching effectiveness: difficulties with a coach; coaching relationships and overall coaching experience. The study also provides empirical evidence that suggests a lack of support from within an employing organization is not predictive of limited coaching effectiveness.

“…These four categories classify the source of ethical challenges that arise in the coaching process. Since the context differs across situations, the content may be dependent on the coach's scope of practice (Law, 2005;Stern & Stout-Rostron, 2013); the coach is responsible for any consequences as a result of the coaching. Also, there are multiple clients involved in the coaching relationship (Stout-Rostron, 2009).…”

Exploring the contemporary ethical challenges in coaching psychology in South Africa

Orientation: This article focuses on the contemporary ethical challenges in coaching psychology in the South African context.Research purpose: The primary objective was to qualitatively explore the contemporary ethical challenges faced by coaching psychologists when coaching clients and organisations and develop an exploratory framework of ethical challenges.Motivation for the study: There may not be sufficient practical guidance to resolving the ethical challenges coaching psychologists encounter when coaching clients within organisations.In addition, available codes of ethics may not fundamentally cover all important ethical challenges, particularly in the South African context.Research approach, design and method: An interpretative paradigm with an explorative approach was applied. Semi-structured interviews and the Delphi technique were used to gather data from 16 participants who were purposively selected: six coaching psychologists were interviewed, whilst feedback from 10 expert panel members was obtained using the Delphi technique. The data was analysed using thematic analysis.Main findings: The findings point to a number of common ethical challenges in coaching psychology, as well as the typical ethical principles used by psychologists who coach as a guide to best ethical practice. The exploratory framework represents the broad systemic outline of factors that contribute to the ethical challenges and articulates these from the coach’s, coachee’s and organisation’s perspective.Practical/managerial implications: The framework can be applied by professionals and coaching clients and can be utilised proactively in identifying potential ethical challenges in the coaching relationship.Contribution/value-add: The framework identifies ethical principles that could be used as the foundation for a code of ethics in coaching psychology.
