The Impact of Leadership Coaching by Childcare Center Directors and the Positive Psychological Capital of Childcare Teachers on Organizational Commitment

This study attempts to analyze how the leadership coaching of the director of a daycare center affects the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment of childcare teachers. To this end, a survey was conducted on 322 childcare teachers working at daycare centers located in P city, C city, and A city, and data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression analysis. As a result of the analysis, the director's leadership coaching showed a significant positive relationship with both the positive psychological capital and organizational commitment of childcare teachers, and positive psychological capital was positively related to organizational commitment. This suggests that the director's coaching behavior within the childcare organization can strengthen the teacher's psychological resources and promote a sense of commitment and belonging to the organization. This study suggests the necessity of effective leadership coaching to increase the organizational commitment of childcare teachers and can be used as practical basic data to support teachers' psychological resources.
