Factors Influencing Coaching Success: Role, Competence and Employee Engagement
No full textThis study investigated the factors influencing the effectiveness of workplace coaching interventions, focusing on the coach’s role, abilities, perceived coaching benefits, and engagement outcomes. Survey data from 73 participants in a UK sixth-form college were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test. The results indicate that managing negative emotions is more successful when coaching is conducted by external coaches or colleagues than by managers. A coach’s ability to lead conversations, maintain concentration, and avoid excessive personal opinions significantly affects the achievement of an individual target. Perceived coaching benefits such as overcoming workplace barriers and developing specific skills are strongly associated with coaching success. Engagement outcomes, including commitment to responsibilities and willingness to exert extra effort, were significantly related to coaching success in managing negative emotions and meeting individual goals. However, coaching success was not significantly associated with commitment to organizational goals. These findings suggest that organizations should carefully consider coach selection, emphasize potential coaching benefits, and tailor interventions to specific objectives to maximize the impact of coaching on employee engagement and performance. Further research with larger samples is recommended to validate these results and explore the transfer of coaching outcomes to workplace applications

This chapter conceptualises storytelling and the sustainability of fashion and luxury brands. It discusses issues with unidirectional marketing in relation to the evolution of digital tools. The roles of storytelling, digital content marketing, and sustainable storytelling in the fashion and luxury brands industry are emphasised.

A qualitative exploration of people living with dementia's experiences of using everyday technology
Get PDFBackground
Technology is becoming a popular and cost-effective way of supporting people living with dementia. Despite this, uptake and adherence to technology interventions is variable. Two factors contributing to this are people's pre-existing attitudes towards technology which influence how accepted interventions are, and how accessible technologies are to use. Attitudes and accessibility are developed through people's everyday experiences of technology which are underexplored in research.
Method
This study used photo-elicitation interviews to explore ten people living with dementia's experiences of using everyday technology and dementia-specific technology. Experiences were explored in and outside the home environment to understand experience at an individual and societal level. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to understand how technologies are experienced, and how these experiences might contribute to the acceptability and accessibility of technologies supporting people living with dementia.
Findings
Four overarching findings were formed from the data: 1) Impact of symptoms of dementia on technology use, 2) Motivation to use technology, 3) The importance of integrating appropriate technology, and 4) The importance of setting in technology implementation.
Conclusions
These findings demonstrate that technologies are a desirable method of providing support to many people living with dementia if the correct tailoring and support is given. People living with dementia are motivated to use technology for various reasons, but interventions that enhance existing face-to-face services, rather than replace them maybe more accepted. Finally, people living with dementia are hopeful that technology will help future generations because these individuals will begin their dementia journey already equipped with the confidence and skills to manage more complex technologies effectively
