We have been dealing with a problem in the doctoral dissertation which has not been researched according to the available literature for us. We have not found data about the research in Slovenia if companies use coaching or not. We have not found data about the research of coaching activities and their influence on satisfaction of employees and successfulness of a company from the management point of view. Therefore, we have not been able to find the model of coaching and its activities’ influence from the management point of view to satisfaction of employees and successfulness of the company according to the available literature for us. Because the connection between the coaching constructs and constructs of employees’ satisfaction and successfulness of a company as well as the connection between the constructs in connection with coaching and separate components of employees’ satisfaction and successfulness of a company has been interesting for us, we have done a research in our doctoral dissertation. We have prepared a management model of coaching with the purpose of using it in practice and we have researched the influence of activities of coaching to satisfaction of employees and successfulness of a company.
A human is becoming more and more important in a company because managers as well as employees present an advantage in a company. It is important that the employees feel well at their work and that they are motivated for it or satisfied at work.
