The Impact of Coaching Leadership on Innovative Work Behavior, Psychological Capital as Mediator, and Perceived Organizational Support as Moderator
Coaching leadership (CL) is an important corporate strategy for improving employee performance at the workplace. We examine how CL affects "innovative work behavior (IWB)" while taking into account the moderating influence of "perceived organizational support (POS)" and the mediation role of "psychological capital (PsyCap)". We obtained the quantitative data from the health department of Gujranwala District, Punjab, Pakistan. The findings of the study show that CL has a significant impact on IWB. PsyCap mediates the relationship between CL and IWB. The POS moderates the relationship between CL and IWB. The findings suggest that CL acts as a catalyst for enhancing employees' PsyCap by fostering positive psychological states such as optimism, resilience, self-efficacy, and hope.
