This study sheds light on the characteristics of side effects of coaching from the coachees' perspective and investigates three possible predictors: relationship quality between coach and coachee, the coach's expertise, and the coachees' motivation to change. Data was collected in a time-lagged design from 111 coachees who received business coaching in Germany. Coachees reported that side effects were frequent but with low to moderate intensity. The number of side effects was negatively associated with relationship quality at both measurement times and with coach's expertise at Time 1. Results expand knowledge about side effects of coaching and reveal opportunities for how they can be reduced.}, language = {en} } @article{GrassmannSchermuly2017, author = {Graßmann, Carolin and Schermuly, Carsten C.}, title = {The Antecedents and Consequences of Side Effects for Coaches}, series = {Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings}, journal = {Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings}, number = {1}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Coaches often experience negative side effects in their work as a coach, but little is known what determines these effects and how they impact coaches' health and well-being. This study examines the antecedents and consequences of side effects for coaches in an international sample of 275 coaches in a time-lagged design. Results from structural equation modeling indicated that the number of side effects for coaches is associated with the relationship quality between coach and client. The number of side effects for clients, as well as clients' low goal attainment, decreased coaches' perceived competence and thereby increased the number of side effects for coaches. Coaches who experienced more side effects in coaching perceived more stress and impaired sleep eight weeks later. Findings support the importance of self-care in coaching and suggest opportunities to prevent side effects of coaching for coaches.}, language = {en} }
