A psycho-educational programme for team coaches to facilitate the mental health of managersMaritz, Jeanette Elizabeth 06 August 2008 (has links)
The aim of the research was to develop a psychoeducational programme for team coaches to facilitate the mental health of managers. Preventing managerial degeneration has become a corporate priority. Without support and intervention, executives and managers can degenerate personally or derail careerwise at enormous cost to themselves, their companies and the economy. Personal degeneration may include selfneglect, ignoring families, marriages, friends, personal interests and their own physical and mental health as they chase their corporate and career objectives. Business managers are subjected to more pressure than ever to produce results, yet they are often promoted through job specific expertise without the emotional intelligence and worklife balance skills necessary to sustain them. Research has revealed an across the board consensus that coaching is one of the most powerful strategic and tactical weapons open to business today because of its ability to enhance areas of proficiency that are already high and to establish skills that were previously absent or weak. Business coaching provides the gateway to intellectual and emotional support and develops managers, thus avoiding managerial derailment and preparing individuals to meet the increasingly complex requirements of today’s business environment. Business and team coaching is distinct from other types of coaching and calls for additional competencies and expertise as specialisation areas. The coaching industry in Southern Africa is in its infancy and as such there are currently no barriers to entry. There is a lack of descriptive and accepted standards, agreed upon core competencies and accredited team coaching programmes that offer depth in terms of knowledge, skills, values and business acumen. In light of the above challenges the following research question arose: · What should a programme for team coaches consist of in order to facilitate the mental health of managers? A qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was followed including autoethnography as a strategy. The research took place in four phases. Phase 1: A situation analysis was done in order to explore and describe what a programme for team coaches should consist of in order to facilitate the mental health of managers. This involved the identification of key stakeholders. Focus groups and interviews were conducted and individual naïve sketches collected from individuals who were are not available for interviews. A literature control was conducted in order to verify findings. Phase 2: Based on the abovementioned results, the research progressed to phase two, which involved the development of a programme. During this phase a conceptual framework was described that included an approach to the programme. Phase 3: This phase presented a description of the programme as well as guidelines for the implementation of the programme. Phase 4: The programme was evaluated and possible limitations were highlighted. Recommendations regarding possible further research were made. The researcher believes that business and team coaching will continue to thrive and gain increased status as a profession. With an empirically sound programme in place, business and team coaching is set to flourish and managers have a means to manage and maintain optimum mental health. / Prof. Marie Poggenpoel Prof. Chris Myburgh

Selfaktualisering as voorspeller van bestuursuksesGeldenhuys, Diederik Joachim 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Hierdie navorsing handel oor selfaktualisering as voorspeller van
bestuursukses. In die literatuuroorsig is bestuursukses as
afhanklike veranderlike en selfaktualisering as onafhanklike
veranderlike binne die humanistiese paradigma gekonseptualiseer
en geoperasionaliseer. Die persoonlikheidskenmerke verwant aan
die veranderlikes is bepaal en geintegreer.
Die empiriese ondersoek is binne die funksionalistiese paradigma
aangebied. Die gekose meetinstrumente, naamlik die Bestuursvaardigheidsinventaris
vir die meet van bestuursukses en die
Persoonlike Orientasie-inventaris vir die meet van selfaktualisering
is op 'n ewekansige steekproef van 51 middelvlakbestuurders
afgeneem. Die betroubaarheid van die Bestuursvaardigheids-
inventaris is met behulp van die "Cronbach Alpha
Coeffisient"- metode bepaal. Om te bepaal of selfaktualisering
'n voorspeller van bestuursukses is, is stapsgewyse regressieontledings
gedoen. Die resultate dui daarop dat die
ondersteuningsratio (innerlike orientasie) bestuursukses
beduidend voorspel, sowel as 12 van die 18 kenmerke eie aan
bestuursukses onderskeidelik. / This research deals with self-actualization as predictor of
management success. In the literature review, management
success as the dependent variable and self-actualization as
independent variable, is conceptualized and operationalized
within the humanistic paradigm. The personality chracteristics
inhirent in the variables were determined and integrated.
The empirical investigation is presented within the
functionalistic paradigm. The chosen measuring instruments,
namely the Management Skills Inventory for the measurement of
management success and the Personal Orientation Inventory for
the measurement of self-actualization were administrated by
means of random sampling to 51 middle level managers. The
reliability qf the Management Skills Inventory was determined
by means of the "Cronbach Alpha CoEHfisient"- method. To
determine if selfactualization is a predictor of Management
Success, stepwise regression analysis was done. The results
indicate that the support ratio (inner directedness) predicts
management success significantly, as well as 12 of the 18
personality characteristics inherent in management success,
respectively. / Psychology / M.A. (Industrial Psychology)
