The Development and Validation of the CCCQ

One important human resource intervention that has the potential to improve employee performance is managerial coaching. The need for improving employee job performance through fostering employee development brings out the need for the adoption and usage of coaching in South African organisations.The driving force behind engaging in affirmative development coaching in South African organisations is the deficiencies in skills among members of the formerly designated groups due to inequalities brought about by exclusionary policies in terms of education and employment by the apartheid government. In order to rectify the injustices the new post apartheid government enacted policies and laws based on the principle of affirmative action. However preferential hiring in favour of blacks diadavanteges organisations and the economy because most members of the previously disadvantaged groups lack the necessary job competence potential to succeed at work. The CCCQ was developed aimed at measuring coach competencies at work. The hypothesis of exact measurement model fit was rejected while that of close fit could not be rejected. Academicians and managers at work will find this book relevant.
