Exploring the coaching relationship in health coaching and employment service with long-term unemployed using Repertory Grid Technique : submitted for the degree of doctor of philosophy in psychology
Oeben, Melanie
Coaching in general and health coaching are increasingly used to change (health-related)
behaviour. However, little research exists on the specific impact factors of coaching and
especially on what ...constitutes effective (health) coaching relationships.
This research explores in a jobcenter in Germany what contributes to effective (health)
coaching relationships in health coaching and employment service coaching. It assesses
both the perspectives of the (health) coaches and the (health) coaching clients, who are
long-term unemployed people with health restrictions. Specifically, this research
investigates how the participants construe effective (health) coaching relationships.
Furthermore, it addresses the commonalities and differences in the construction of
effective (health) coaching relationships within/between coaches and clients and
within/between coaching domains. In addition, it is explored how consistently
participants in the different groups evaluate effective (health) coaching relationships.
Based on a phenomenological constructivist epistemology, the Repertory Grid Technique
is used within a Personal Construct Psychology framework for data collection to elicit
latent constructs signifying effective coaching relationships from coaches and coaching
clients, as this technique is especially useful for exploring individual and interpersonal
aspects of human relationships.
Results indicate the effectiveness of Personal Construct Psychology and Repertory Grid
Technique for Coaching Psychology research on the coaching relationship. The content
analysis identified 27 themes of which 12 were relevant to the development of effective
(health) relationships for the total sample. Differential analysis identified themes of
particular importance for the different subgroups. Conclusions after structural analysis
suggest that these categories represent a ‘pool’ of important factors for effective (health)
coaching relationships, from which quite individual constellations of these factors make
the (health) coaching relationship effective. The findings theoretically and
methodologically contribute to Coaching Psychology. Furthermore, the findings are of
utility for coaching practise and can help to create ethical, more effective (health)
coaching relationships. The limitations of this study, its implications for further research,
and coaching practise are discussed.
