Modelo Transteórico de Mudança: Contribuições para o coaching de executivos

Abstract

The Transtheoretical Model of Change: Contributions to executive coaching Executive coaching has been widely employed in organizations. Although there is a growing number of practitioners in this market, there is still a substantial lack of theoretical models and research in it. Because of this, some authors have argued for a need of supporting the coaching process on more consistent and empirically tested evidences, even through the embodiment of already existing knowledge, from the behavioral and social sciences. Besides that, behavioral change has been a recurrent theme in many coaching processes, even when based on distinct approaches. In this context, some authors have suggested that the Transtheoretical Model of Change be adapted for the coaching process, both for its focusing on behavioral changes and for being supported by substantial empirical research. This model includes the six stages that take place in every process of behavioral change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination. This theoretical article analyzes possible contributions and limitations of the model, when applied to executive coaching. Resumen: Modelo Transteorico de Cambio: Contribuciones al coaching de ejecutivos El coaching de ejecutivos ha sido cada vez mas empleado por las organizaciones. Aunque hay un numero signifi cativo de practicantes, en este mercado, hay una gran carencia de modelos teoricos y de investigacion. Como consecuencia, se ha senalado la necesidad de basar el coaching en evidencias empiricamente mas consistentes, aun incorporando contribuciones de conocimientos existentes en las ciencias comportamentales y sociales. Ademas, el cambio comportamental ha sido tema recurrente en los diferentes abordajes empleados, aunque de orientaciones distintas. En este contexto algunos autores han sugerido que el Modelo Transteorico de Cambio se adapte al proceso de coaching; tanto por ser un modelo dirigido al cambio comportamental como por el hecho de tener fuerte sustentacion empirica. Este modelo caracteriza las seis etapas que ocurren en todo proceso de cambio comportamental: precontemplacion, contemplacion, preparacion, accion, mantenimiento y termino. Este articulo teorico examina posibles contribuciones y limitaciones del modelo, si se aplica al proceso de coaching de ejecutivos. Palabras clave: coaching de ejecutivos, orientacion ocupacional, y modelo transteorico de cambio
