A study on the effect of coaching leadership on self-directed learning and learning Engagement

This study tried to confirm the relationship between the factors that the coaching leadership of managers (leaders) perceived by organizational members of a company on the self-directed learning and learning immersion of organizational members and the effect of self-directed learning on learning immersion. To this end, the research hypothesis established by using the statistical programs SPSS 21.0 for Windows and AMOS 21.0 for the final diagnosis results of 289 patients was verified as follows. First, Hypothesis 1, coaching leadership, was adopted as it showed a positive (+) effect on learning immersion. In other words, as coaching leadership improved, organizational members’ learning improved, and organizational members were required to improve their job performance capabilities through learning immersion. In addition, the need to effectively and systematically reinforce the coaching leadership of managers (leaders) has emerged in order to advance the achievement of the organization’s management goals. Second, as a result of analyzing the relationship between coaching leadership and self-directed learning, which is hypothesis 2, it was found to be statistically significant. In other words, it was shown that the more systematic the coaching leadership of managers (leaders) was implemented, the better the executive ability of organizational members for self-directed learning. Third, it was confirmed that it had a positive effect on Hypothesis 3 between self-directed learning and learning immersion. In other words, in order to improve the learning immersion of organizational members, the necessity of setting learning goals to be achieved by themselves and improving independent self-directed learning was emphasized.
