A Study on the Relationship among Coaching Leadership Job Autonomy and Job Commitment

This study is to empirically investigate the effect of coaching leadership in the education section. This study is to construct the sub-dimensions (direction, development, accountability) of coaching leadership, job autonomy and job commitment. To achieve the research purpose, we conducted a questionnaire survey of 230 working members of the school in Gyeongnam province and Pusan in Korea, and collected 223 cases and verified the hypotheses through SPSS and AMOS analysis with final data of 205. As a result, coaching leadership that constructs sub-dimensions of direction, development, and accountability influence job autonomy and job commitment, respectively. Besides, job autonomy significantly influences job commitment. These results suggested that coaching is a new and effective leadership style that influences members of the school’s attitude or organization effectiveness. Therefore, it is meant to provide an implication that coaching leadership should be exercised to raise the job autonomy and commitment of employees.
