Abstract

Coaching is now a common practice for human development and change and, especially an
instrument for organizational development. Although widely used, coaching does not have a
precise scientific framework, as it is a field in the theoretical construction phase. This article
provides a critical review of studies on coaching in order to summarize the theoretical models
which support research, to identify the results in this field, and to present the mechanisms for
change and efficiency in coaching. The results reported are still insufficient to conclude on the
relationship between certain factors and the benefits of coaching. Finally future research
directions are presented to clarify the components and the purpose of the coaching process.
