After critically evaluating the article “Leadership coaching, leader role-efficacy, and trust

literature in the article focused on the fact that leadership coaching has explained in better

These principles are focused on sustaining responsibility and collaboration, responsibility,
enhancing awareness as well as action planning and commitment. From the article review it has
been deduced that there are few gaps in carrying out literature review in the current article. The
recent literature mentioned within the article did not properly elaborate the unique nature of
leadership coaching in a manner that it addresses specific requirements of leaders along with
their companies. The literature review provided within the article indicated that coaching might
enhance general feeling of excellence within their function and such result is referred as efficacy
of leader function. The article also offered views on past researches that elaborated a critical
evaluation focused on “Leadership Role Efficacy”to be confidence judgement of leaders in their
ability to explain behaviors that compromises leadership role. The literature explained in the
current article provided a critical evaluation on LRE that explains an outcome variable that
addresses idiosyncratic coaching goals nature of the leaders. In addition, it is highlygeneric to be
compared before and after coaching among leaders of companies (Ben Salem and Lakhal 2018).

Research Article Outcomes and Evaluation Whether Research Attain Study Objectives
The outcome of the article indicated that leaders that improved their LRE gained
confidence within the ability for improving tasks in general leader role and self-reflectiveness
behavior. The results obtained from the research paper and the efficacy of the researchers in
achieving the set goals of the study are described critically. The employment of data from the
leaders participating in the coaching program of six months having a control group provides
certain outcomes and they have been accumulated from LTS and LTE within the coaching group
and not the control group. The outcomes collected from the article are concentrated on the
hypotheses that there is enhanced trust in the staffs, which could be linked with their
psychological empowerment with intentions of turnover.
The results gathered from the conduction of research suggested that positive association
could be observed between declining turnover intentions and enhanced LTS. It has been gathered
from the article that the facilitative behaviour intensity from coaching affected the changes in a
positive manner within role efficiency and trust among the subordinates. The outcomes in the
research paper are considered to be analysed with due care for the cause that the sample is small

and the findings are supported by various claims. In addition, the outcomes collected from the
research sustain such claims that coaching acts as an efficient process to the development of
leadership (Lee 2017). Moreover, the outcomes associated with trust within the current staffs
signify contributions to the development of relational perspective on leadership development.
The outcomes obtained in the article signify no adequate relationship along with the LTS
variations and four empowerment-related dimensions. However, considerable association among
LTS changes and variations could be found within the turnover intention. The outcomes in the
article signify that this association has been negative indicating rise in trust, which is related to
the downfall in turnover intention (Ladegard and Gjerde 2014).
Moreover, the article also offered a perception that some other explanation for
differences in LRS and LTS can be highly confident within their ability to perform better in task
in their basic leader function as well as self-reflective behavior. In addition, the article presented
opinion focused on the fact that enhancement in trust is related with decrease in leader
subordinates’ turnover intentions. This has also observed to turn out as highly motivating
because of the fact regarding willingness of accepting uncetainities. Such analysis has been
attained based on a trait such as general propensity of trust or getting related with some
subordinates (Ladegard and Gjerde 2014). In challenging this trait viewpoint, the outcomes from
the article suggested that LTS in some contexts can be considered for development and can be
drastically affected by leadership coaching.
