Description
Effective workplace communication plays a critical role in employee engagement, collaboration, and overall organizational effectiveness. Leadership behaviors significantly influence communication climates; however, limited research has examined how coaching-based leadership specifically predicts the quality of employee communication. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study is to examine whether perceived coaching-based leadership predicts the quality of employee communication in organizational settings. Coaching-based leadership emphasizes behaviors such as reflective thinking, developmental feedback, and supportive guidance, which may foster communication environments characterized by clarity, openness, and constructive feedback. Data will be collected from approximately 100–150 working adults across sectors, including healthcare, education, and nonprofit organizations, using an anonymous online survey. The independent variable, perceived coaching-based leadership, will be measured using a validated Likert-scale instrument, while the dependent variable, employee communication quality, will be assessed across clarity, openness, and feedback using established survey measures. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and linear regression to examine both the relationships and the predictive effects between variables. It is expected that higher levels of perceived coaching-based leadership will be associated with stronger communication quality. The findings may inform leadership development initiatives and coaching practices aimed at enhancing workplace communication and organizational effectiveness.
