A efetividade de coaching executivo como intervenção psicossocial em gestores organizacionais : uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

Organizations have been going through increasingly challenging times when facing changes that are accelerating, with exponential repercussions on psychosocial risks to the staff. In this regard, the concern with how they will prepare and assist their staff, with a special eye on their managers (leaders, managers, high-ranking), becomes a constant in the organizational environment. Therefore, psychosocial development interventions are necessary and urgent. Since in recent decades, executive coaching has been presented as a fundamental and interventionist means by which organizations and individuals build and develop capabilities and skills, in order to promote the executive skills necessary to remain in the competitive market in which act. Executive coaching is used in companies because it stimulates professional development and leadership development, contributing to personal change processes that result in increased professional performance. On the other hand, one of the biggest challenges faced is the lack of validated scientific studies on the effectiveness of coaching. In this context, the present study aims to characterize the intervention of executive coaching, looking for scientific evidence about its effectiveness and how this effectiveness is being presented at the international level. In order to achieve this objective, this study is characterized, at first, by a qualitative research of an exploratory nature, and in a second moment, it presents a systematic review of the literature, searching for studies that present the interventional effectiveness of executive coaching. The databases used were: VHL Evidence Portal (LILACS, BIREME, PAHO, WHO); CAPES Periodicals Portal; PSYCNET APA and SCOPUS, in a search period between 2012 and 2022. As a result of the research, evidence of the effectiveness of executive coaching as a psychosocial intervention was found, as well as a suggestion of tools that can measure this effectiveness, even though there are different evaluation models . Finally, based on the results found, a particular method of application and evaluation of EC on a large scale is suggested, which should be applied in the future in Brazilian studies carried out as a result of this work.
