Dimensions of Coaching Related to Productivity and Quality of Life

This article examines the impact of coaching 19 recruiting first sergeants (district managers) over six months. The relationships between coaching dimensions (intensity of coaching and involvement in coaching) and measures of goal attainment, stress, life satisfaction, quality of life, and work productivity were examined. A self-reported negative relationship between goal achievement and the quality of recruitment productivity among personnel was found. Additionally, managers who more frequently applied coaching advice reported more work satisfaction and a tendency toward more life satisfaction. These findings provide some direction in exploring goal achievement and adherence in coaching.
