An Affirmative Development Coaching Competency Questionnaire Victor Chikampa Mulungushi University

 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. Research objective

 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. Background information

 13 Coaching outcomes were identified  17 coaching competencies were examined Affirmative development coaching structural model

 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  H 01 : RMSEA=0  H a1 : RMSEA>0  H 02 : RMSEA≤.05  H a2 : RMSEA>.05 Research Methodology

 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). Analysis

 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. Results

 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. Future studies
