AB - This study examined how coaching leadership influences job performance through the mediating role of job crafting and the moderating role of leader–member exchange(LMX). Data were collected from 400 Korean employees across diverse industries and analyzed using SPSS 26.0, Process Macro v5.0, JASP 0.18.3, and Mplus 8.10.
Results showed that the relationship between coaching leadership and job performance was conditional on LMX. When LMX was low, coaching leadership negatively affected job performance; when LMX was moderate or high, the effect was nonsignificant. The indirect effect through job crafting was also moderated by LMX: it was insignificant or negative at low levels but became positive and significant as LMX increased. This indicates that high-quality leader–member relationships transform coaching behaviors into supportive and motivational signals, promoting proactive job redesign and performance improvement.
The findings suggest that coaching leadership is not uniformly effective but depends on relational context. Without mutual trust and respect, coaching behaviors may be misinterpreted as control rather than support. Therefore, organizations should develop both coaching competencies and relational quality to maximize employee engagement, job crafting, and performance.
