코칭과 심리적 안전감의 관계 연구의 체계적 문헌 고찰

Abstract

This study searched the literature on coaching and psychological safety and analyzed research trends. A systematic literature review was conducted, analyzing a total of 18 domestic academic papers and theses. First, the analysis of the research period on coaching and psychological safety from 2017 to 2023 showed 1 paper (6%) in 2017, 2 papers (11%) in 2020, 3 papers (17%) in 2021, 4 papers (22%) in 2022, and 8 papers (44%) in 2023. Second, among the total of 18 papers, 7 were academic papers, and 11 were theses. Third, it was confirmed that all studies were conducted using quantitative research methods. Fourth, the most used measurement tool for coaching in the studies was Stowell's (1986) tool, appearing in 7 papers (38%), and for psychological safety, Edmondson's (1999) tool was most frequently used in 13 papers (72%). Fifth, in studies on coaching and psychological safety, coaching-related variables were all used as independent variables, while psychological safety was identified as a mediating variable in 11 papers (61%), a moderating variable in 5 papers (27%), an independent variable in 1 paper (6%), and a dependent variable in 1 paper (6%). Sixth, there were no studies identified that conducted systematic literature reviews or research trends on the relationship between coaching and psychological safety variables. The following implications are suggested: First, although the number of studies on the relationship between coaching and psychological safety is increasing every year, the research mainly focuses on relationships with job engagement, organizational citizenship behavior, and innovative behavior, indicating a need for research on relationships with various other variables. Second, there is a need to employ diverse research methods. Third, new measurement tools for coaching and psychological safety need to be developed. A limitation of this study is the small number of available literature for extraction and analysis.
