Research objective
 The objective of the research study was to develop and
psychometrically evaluate a coach competency
questionnaire Was developed to measure affirmative development
coaching performance
 To provide formative feedback to affirmative
development coaches
 To identify development areas that need to be
addressed in affirmative coaching development
interventions.
Background information
 Inequalities prior to democracy in terms of education
meant that members of the previously disadvantaged
groups lacked the necessary skills to succeed at work
 Preferential hiring in favour of blacks required by
affirmative action measures disadvantages organisations
and the economy because most members of the former
desginated groups lack the job competence potential
 Affirmative development has to play an important role in
rectifying the injustices of the past-coaching plays an
additional role of honing newly developed abilities and
skills.
Affirmative development coaching
structural model
 13 Coaching outcomes were identified
 17 coaching competencies were examined
Research Methodology
 The study made use of an ex post facto correlational
research design because of the inability to directly control
the latent variables
 The overarching substantive research hypothesis was that
the CCCQ provides a construct valid and reliable measure
of affirmative development coaching performance
 H01: RMSEA=0
 Ha1: RMSEA>0
 H02: RMSEA≤.05
 Ha2: RMSEA>.05
Analysis
 SPSS 20.0
 LISREL 8.8
 Measuring instrument (CCCQ 82 items- an adaptation of
the LBI-2 cronbach alpha values between.774 and .902
 Unit of observation target population(AD coaches/
coachees)-alcoholic beverages producer participating
organisation
 Survey questionnaire was used to collect
data(2398/492/398).
Results
 The results of the item analysis performed on all the
17 subscales were generally considered satisfactory.
 Dimensionality analysis-all the subscales satisfied the
unidimensionality assumption-all the items in all the
subscales showed satisfactory loadings on the single
extracted factor.
 Multiple fit indices were utilised to test the
measurement model. LISREL results were indicative
of good model fit.
Future studies
 Multi-group SEM analyses need to be conducted in which the
measurement model is simultaneously fitted to representative
samples of different population groups- race, gender and
language group
 The study be repeated on a larger sample in which the individual
items serve as indicator variables
 Future studies should investigate the relationships hypothesised
between the affirmative development coaching competencies
and coaching outcomes
 Further studies should investigate the problem of discriminant
validity
 Language difficulty level.
