Although a coaching leadership style has an inherent advantage in predicting the subordinates' career success, there is still little known about the linkage and the specific process by which coaching leadership influences career success. We examined the relationship between coaching
leadership and subordinates' career success, especially the mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX), through a survey conducted with 301 supervisor–subordinate pairs of a large state-owned enterprise in Shanghai, China. Using Hayes' PROCESS macro, we conducted a Sobel test
and bootstrapping to test our hypotheses. As predicted, we found that coaching leadership was positively related to both subjective and objective career success of subordinates. In addition, LMX mediated the influence of coaching leadership on career success of subordinates. Our findings provide
a new theoretical perspective for explaining the impact of coaching leadership.

Abstract

This paper looks at the roles of Chinese managers in organizational change in foreign‐owned enterprises in China.


A multi‐case study approach was deployed with an in‐depth, semi‐structured ethnographic interview technique.


The study uncovered three categories of managers insofar as their roles in organizational change are concerned: (1) an agent of change, (2) a follower of change, and (3) an anti‐change agent.


This study further identified six factors that determine the kind of role this group of Chinese managers is likely to choose.
