Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating effect of positive psychological capital on the effect of parent coaching competency on young children's creative leadership.
 Methods This study targeted 301 parents of children aged 3 to 5 attending early childhood education institutions located in G Metropolitan City and J Province. The test tools include the young Children's Creative Leadership Scale developed by Lee Kyeong-hwa and Yoo Kyeong-hoon (2010), the Parent Coaching Competency Scale by Do-hyang Do, Kim Geun-ju, and Lee Gyeong-ju (2019), and the Korean version of the scale by Luthans, Avolio, and Norman (2006) by Tae-hong Lim (2013). The adapted, modified, and supplemented positive psychological capital scale was used. SPSS 23.0 program was used for data analysis.
 Results First, it was found that there was a significant correlation between parent coaching competency and children's creative leadership, between parent coaching competency and parents' positive psychological capital, and between parent positive psychological capital and children's creative leadership. Second, parent coaching competency was found to have an impact on children's creative leadership, and parents' positive psychological capital was found to have a mediating effect between these variables.
 Conclusions This study reveals the importance of parent variables in promoting young children's creative leadership. Therefore, this suggests that there is a need to develop various parent support programs and provide educational opportunities that can enhance parents' coaching capabilities and positive psychological capital.
