O presente estudo tem como objetivo identificar, não só o impacto do coaching na melhoria do
desempenho e no bem-estar psicológico, subjetivo e no trabalho, em coachees de uma grande
empresa, mas também explorar a motivação como variável mediadora entre as competências
profissionais, no início e no fim da intervenção.
A amostra é constituída por 86 gestores, que iniciaram o seu processo de coaching entre Janeiro
e Junho de 2014 – período para recolha de dados da amostra. Todos os gestores, 38 homens e 48
mulheres, entre os 30 e os 60 anos, desempenham as suas funções, maioritariamente, na área
operacional e passaram por 8 sessões de coaching ao longo deste período.
Utilizaram-se, como instrumentos de investigação, questionários que permitem avaliar as
dimensões em estudo, e que foram aplicados antes da intervenção (desenvolvimento de
competências de liderança, bem-estar psicológico, subjetivo e no trabalho), a meio do processo
(Inventário de Motivação Intrínsica para o processo de coaching) e depois da intervenção de
coaching (desenvolvimento de competências de liderança, bem-estar psicológico, subjetivo e no
trabalho).
Os resultados obtidos permitem confirmar que houve uma melhoria nas competências
profissionais, assim como no bem-estar subjetivo, psicológico e no trabalho entre o início e o fim
do processo de coaching; os resultados mostraram que existe uma relação positiva entre as
expectativas para o coaching e as competências já detidas pelos sujeitos da amostra no início da
intervenção; pelo contrário, não se confirma que a motivação seja mediadora das competências
profissionais entre o início e o fim do processo de coaching.
Os resultados evidenciam que o processo de coaching pode mostrar-se eficaz e valioso para o
desenvolvimento pessoal e profissional dos recursos humanos das organizações.
