 Author (s)

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of coaching leadership on employee innovation behavior in high-tech software enterprises in Beijing, China. Despite the software industry’s importance in China’s economic development, it still faces talent shortages. A survey of 508 knowledge-based employees was conducted to explore this relationship. Results show that coaching leadership, specifically in the dimensions of guidance, inspiration, and facilitation, positively influences EIB and WE, with facilitation having the strongest correlation. The role of work engagement partly mediates the relation of coaching leadership and EIB. Additionally, the felt obligation for constructive change can regulate the effectiveness of coaching leadership in incentivizing innovation. The study recommends that managers in high-tech software enterprises adopt coaching leadership to stimulate employee innovation behavior. The study contributes to understanding coaching leadership’s impact on innovation in the software industry and provides insights for promoting innovation and enhancing national competitiveness.

Keywords: Coaching Leadership, Work Engagement, Employee Innovation Behavior, Felt Obligation for Constructive Change.
