Abstract
Teamwork quality has important implications for organizational success. Drawing upon
the wellbeing and positive psychology coaching theories, managerial coaching is known
to induce positive work outcomes. However, little attention is paid to explore how
coaching can prompt the quality of teamwork in the context of managing contemporary
projects. We examined the mechanism through which managerial coaching impacts
teamwork quality in projects using a sample of 463 managers from a variety of project
organizations in Pakistan. Data was collected through an online survey by adopting
existing measures; managerial coaching, psychological engagement, and teamwork
quality. Simple and multiple regression analyses were used to test the hypotheses. We
found that workplace managerial coaching was positively associated with teamwork
quality and that psychological engagement of employees partially mediated this
relationship. Findings indicate that developing a culture of managerial coaching can
foster a psychological climate for employee engagement if teamwork quality is a priority
for project success. We recommend that project managers should develop and practice
coaching skills at work to reach success
