Abstract
An Organizational Theory Framework to Exploring Discursive Processes in Management Coaching
Based on a critical examination of current approaches to coaching within the interdisciplinary organizational studies, this contribution stresses the necessity to differentiate more strongly the context in coaching, to focus on the constitutive processes of coaching and to ask more critical questions concerning the efficacy of the interventions. A process-oriented discursive concept is presented which meets these three exigencies and allows to examine coaching along the following three processual levels: coaching as conversation, coaching as organizational intervention and coaching as socio-historical phenomenon. Concrete implications for coaching research are illustrated with the help of examples from an empirical project. As such, the article contributes to developing an alternative theoretical understanding of coaching, offers methods to investigate coaching processes and underlines the organization-theoretical perspective of the empirical approach.

Abstract (De)
Ausgehend von einer Problematisierung aktueller Entwürfe von Coaching innerhalb der interdisziplinären Organisationsforschung wird im vorliegenden Beitrag die Notwendigkeit betont den Kontext von Coaching stärker zu differenzieren, das Augenmerk auf die konstituierenden Prozesse zu richten sowie vermehrt kritische Fragen zu den Effekten der Intervention zu stellen. Ein prozessorientiertes Diskurskonzept wird vorgestellt, welches erlaubt diese Forderungen zu erfüllen sowie Coaching auf drei Prozessebenen zu betrachten: Coaching als Gespräch, als organisationale Intervention sowie als sozio-historisches Phänomen. Die konkreten Implikationen für die Forschung werden anhand von Beispielen aus einem empirischen Projekt illustriert. Damit leistet der Artikel insgesamt einen Beitrag zur Entwicklung eines alternativen theoretischen Verständnisses von Coaching, stellt methodische Möglichkeiten zur Erforschung der Prozesse dar und unterstreicht die organisationstheoretische Perspektive bei der empirischen Erforschung.
