When I first met Julie Jenkins, a Master’s student at Adler University studying Organizational Psychology, one of the first things I noticed was her deep commitment to understanding how organizations can create, build and sustain a coaching culture. Since that first discussion some two years ago, Julie has interviewed several CoachingWise organizations for her thesis which is focused on developing a simple, reliable measure called the Coaching Culture Inventory (CCI).
Julie’s academic research goal is to expand our theoretical understanding of coaching culture and develop a statistically validated psychometric tool that measures important outcomes of a coaching culture related to employee well-being and organizational effectiveness.
She hopes that her study of coaching culture will shape the field in the same way that Cameron & Quinn did when they developed the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI)—used by over 12,000 companies worldwide to diagnose and change organizational culture.
For the purposes of Julie’s research, “a coaching culture is one where the principles, beliefs, and mindsets driving people’s behavior in the workplace are deeply rooted in the discipline of coaching” (Clutterbuck, Megginson & Bajer (2016).
As we know, the research specific to coaching culture is still growing and developing. Julie hopes this new Coaching Culture Inventory (CCI) measure will ideally assist organizations in identifying strengths and opportunities to develop their own coaching culture and to link coaching to important organizational outcomes such as job performance, employee well-being, retention and engagement.
You are invited to participate in Julie’s original research by completing this confidential online survey. In doing so, you will be helping to validate this new coaching culture measure and contributing to the body of knowledge and advancing the profession of coaching.
