Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study is to identify the causal factors affecting teamwork coaching in Iranian public organizations.

Methodology: The research is a mixed-method study in terms of strategy, developmental and applied in terms of purpose, and descriptive-exploratory in terms of method. For this purpose, open interviews were conducted with 10 experts and experienced individuals in the fields of teamwork or coaching. Ultimately, the influential factors were identified through grounded theory analysis and a three-stage coding process, based on the Strauss and Corbin model.

Findings: According to the results, eight causal codes or factors were identified, which were subsequently categorized into two dimensions: individual (promotion of coaching concepts, employees’ acceptance of teamwork, employees' enthusiasm for self-empowerment, and familiarity with coaching concepts) and organizational (managers' awareness of the coaching concept, organizational structure flexibility, organizational belief in coaching, and the organizational will for coaching).

Conclusion: This study identifies key individual and organizational factors influencing the establishment of teamwork coaching in Iranian government organizations, emphasizing the importance of coaching promotion, organizational flexibility, and leadership awareness.
