Abstract
This doctoral thesis investigates managerial coaching within Hong Kong’s corporate sector, emphasising the challenges and strategic methodologies necessary for effective implementation. The study utilises a grounded theory approach to explore the significance of a proactive mindset and distributed leadership principles in enhancing coaching efficacy. The research addresses three core objectives: identifying prevalent coaching challenges, analysing the impact of coaching training methods, and developing a conceptual framework tailored to Hong Kong’s unique business environment. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with twenty-one management professionals across various industries, providing a comprehensive empirical basis for the study. A major contribution of this thesis is the Proactive Coaching Integration Framework (PCIF), which synthesises the empirical findings into a practical model designed to address four key categories of challenges: organisational, coaching practice, managerial role, and training and development. The framework offers strategic recommendations, including fostering a coaching-centric organisational culture, enhancing comprehensive training programmes, and integrating coaching with managerial duties to align with proactive leadership principles. The findings underscore the importance of adaptive leadership and proactive strategies in navigating the complexities of Hong Kong’s corporate landscape. The PCIF serves as a guiding tool for organisations seeking to cultivate a resilient and forward-thinking workforce. This research not only advances academic understanding of managerial coaching but also provides actionable insights for practitioners aiming to implement effective coaching strategies within a culturally diverse and dynamic environment.
