INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction In the present business environment, organizations are subjected to increased competition, fast-paced change, increased demands from customers and different stakeholders These factors are putting a huge pressure on organizations To compete and take the lead, companies are more conscious of their need of a competent, motivated and productive workforce which is considered as a distinctive and inimitable advantage Since the traditional employee development does not always deliver the desired results, organizations often use coaching as a way to develop employee selfconfidence, self-efficacy, and contribute to actions that create results (Passmore and Fillery-Travis, 2011) The reason behind this trend could be that coaching is about helping people to improve their performance not by telling them what to but by enabling them to learn how to change, making coaching a widely recognized tool Coaching is a well-established practice that researchers have defined in different ways According to Smither (2011) coaching “is a one-to-one learning and development intervention that uses a collaborative, reflective, goal-focused relationship to achieve professional outcomes that are valued by the coachee” (Smither, 2011, p.137) Grant (2001) defined coaching as a collaborative, solutionfocused, result-orientated systematic process, in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of the coachee’s performance in various domains and fosters selfdirected learning, goal attainment and personal growth of the coachee From a different angle, coaching is a term often related to the sports industry Athletes often pay astronomical wages to the best individuals in their field to coach them In most of these cases, the coach does not manage them or tell them what to but rather tries to get the best out of them by transforming physical and psychological strengths into competency The coach’s job is to support, guide and motivate the coachee to gain a better understanding of themselves in order to enable them to reach the peak of their capabilities (Whitmore, 2004) By applying this philosophy in workplace coaching, it can help individuals to realize their strengths and weaknesses Enabling them to find the answer to what works better for them rather than giving them the answers ready on the plate Coaching aims to empower people and help them to discover their potential abilities and talents instead of focusing on what they cannot (Wright, 2005) After all, coaching is about unlocking people’s potential with the intention to improve/maximize their performance (Whitmore, 2004); a coach does not teach but rather helps the coachee to learn Coaching can be a challenging endeavor for the coachee as well as the coach It is essential for the coach to have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities as well as being equipped with the desired behaviors and characteristics that can enable all parties involved to gain the best experience from the coaching sessions (Grant, 2006) Success of a coaching process heavily depends on the trustful relationships between the coach and the employee (Wu, Cheng and Huang, 2010) Thus while using coaching method, the coach first understands the cultural diversity of the individual employee (Serrat 2010) The cultural diversity such as religion, race, color, belief systems, gender, and ethnicity among others may considerably affect the coach and coachee relationships (Wilkesmann & Fischer, 2009) The outcome of coaching for employees includes enhanced self-awareness, enhanced knowledge and skills, greater motivation and morale, improved clarity about career direction, increased innovation which all lead to improved performance (Stolmack and Martin, 2011) Despite the global popularity of coaching, there is a shortage in the number of empirical studies exploring the effects of workplace coaching on employee performance More specifically, there is an absence of such studies in Vietnam, especially in the manufacturing sector The typical respondents being surveyed in those researches were mainly managers or coaches who have delivered the coaching sessions but not coachees who have received the coaching sessions Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine some key factors linking workplace coaching to employee performance, through analyzing the perception of coaches and coachees The key factors investigated were the coach-coachee PHẠM HỮU CHÍNH Thư điện tử: phamhuu.chinh@vn.nestle.com Điện thoại: 0932726767 Nhà máy Trị An – Công ty TNHH Nestlé Việt Nam KCN Amata, TP
