The Effect of Self-Coaching Competence of Corporate Education Instructors on Subjective Career Success: The Mediating Effect of Learning Agility and Self-efficacy

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between self-coaching competence and subjective career success of corporate instructors and to empirically analyze the effects of learning agility and self-efficacy on the relationship between self-coaching competence and subjective career success. This study was conducted for instructors working as corporate education instructors in Korea, and the survey tool used a questionnaire that reflected self-coaching competence, learning agility, self-efficacy, subjective career success, and demographic characteristics as questions. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, it was found that the self-coaching competence recognized by corporate education instructors had a direct and significant effect on subjective career success, learning agility, and self-efficacy. In addition, it was found that self-efficacy had a significant effect on subjective career success, but learning agility did not significantly affect subjective career success. Second, in the relationship between the self-coaching competence of corporate education instructors and subjective career success, learning agility did not show a significant mediating effect, and self-efficacy was found to have a significant mediating effect. The conclusions from the above research results are as follows. First, since frequent turnover of corporate education instructors makes it difficult for companies to develop human resources, the importance of corporate education instructors' self-coaching capabilities in this study is meaningful in that it leads to factors that strengthen the instructor's expertise. Third, in this study, self-efficacy had a significant positive effect on subjective career success, either directly or as a medium, indicating that self-efficacy is an important variable in maintaining the career of corporate education instructors and securing future lecture opportunities.
