Abstract
The objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of the manager-employee coaching relationship and self-leadership practice on the performance of corporate graduate interns.
The study employed a post-positivist paradigm and a quantitative approach. Through an online Qualtrics questionnaire, data was gathered from a sample size of 200 corporate graduate interns. Data analysis method that was adopted was regression analysis to test hypotheses. The results demonstrated a significant positive impact between self-leadership skills practice and performance behaviours of corporate graduate interns. The hypothesis that the perceived quality of a manager-employee coaching relationship impacts positively on the performance behaviours of corporate graduate interns was not supported. The key message from this study is that the self-leadership coaching is critical for the development and growth of corporate graduate interns. Leadership that practices coaching is vital for supporting employees to develop and practice self- leadership skills, which impact positively on their development of desired job- related performance behaviours
