Abstract

Abstract This study proposed a conceptual framework to enhance coaching managers in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in Johannesburg. An exploratory background analysis prior to this study revealed that TVET colleges in Johannesburg, Gauteng province of South Africa have been conducting coaching programmes without a coaching conceptual framework. This study was therefore motivated by the need to address this theoretical and practical gap in coaching practices to enhance the effectiveness of coaching programs. A mixed method approach was used to conduct the study. Data was collected from 95 respondents. Questionnaires were distributed to 85 managers who were available to participate to the study using a census inquiry. While face to face interviews were conducted with 6 Principals and Deputy principals. The overall findings from qualitative findings revealed that respondents claimed that they have limited exposure to both formal and informal coaching. The study also found that coaching usually takes place in an unplanned manner which does not follow any conceptual framework. The qualitative responses further posited that coaching practice in the TVET sector in Johannesburg should incorporate coaching approaches which involve management, and encourage learning. The overall quantitative results indicated that TVET colleges in Johannesburg randomise coaching due to lack of industry sector conceptual framework. The results further revealed that 57.7% institutions provide coaching and that the coaching competencies needed within TVET colleges should comprehend that people are a mixture of mind, body, and spirit and perform best when all aspects of their being are considered, engaged, and valued (M=2.95, SD=0.86). The study concludes that many TVET college managers in Johannesburg are in need of a conceptual framework for coaching managers that comprises of critical competencies for coaches who provide coaching. The involvement of management in the provision of coaching is key to ensure that the coaching programme help in achieving organisational goals. These findings and other results from the study inform the major contribution of this study, which is the development a conceptual framework for coaching managers in TVET colleges in Johannesburg, South Africa. Iqoqa Ukuqalisa ukusebenza kohlaka lokusebenza lokuqeqesha emakolishini ama-TVET eGoli kuyashoda. Ngaphambi kwalolu cwaningo uhlaziyo lokuhlola okungemuva lwathola ukuthi kunesikhala uma kuza ezinjulalwazini zokwenza nokuthi kwakungekho uhlaka lwemibono olwalukhona ekuqeqesheni kula makolishi. Ngakho-ke isidingo esiphuthumayo sokuthuthukisa uhlaka lwemibono ukuphucula ukuqeqesha kwezimenenja emakolishini ama-TVET eGoli. Lokhu kwaveza ukungabibikho kohlaka lokusebenza ukuthuthukisa izimenenja zabaqeqeshi emakolishini ama-TVET. Indlelakubuka yezindlela zokwenza ucwaningo ezixubile yasetshenziswa ukwenza ucwaningo ngosayizi wesampula labaphendulayo abayisithupha ocwaningweni lwekhwalithethivu lapho kuneqoqobantu eliphelele labangama-91, nabaphendulayo abangamashumi ayisishiyagalombili nanhlanu ocwaningweni lwekhwantithethivu. Laba abaphendulayo bathathwa emakolishini ama-TVET ayisihlanu ehlukene eGoli, eNingizimu Afrikha. Okutholakele ngokwekhwalithethivu kuveze ukuthi abaphendulile abakujwayele ngokwanele ukuqeqesha okuhlelekile nokungahlelekile. Ucwaningo lwaphinde lwathola ukuthi ukuqeqesha kuvame ukwenzeka ngendlela engahlelekile engalandeli uhlaka lwemibono. Izimpendulo zekhwalithethivu kumele zifake izindlelakubuka zokuqeqesha ezifaka ukuphatha nokugqugquzela ukufunda. Imiphumela ephelele yekhwantithethivu ikhombise ukuthi amakolishi ama-TVET eGoli aqeqesha ngendlela engahlelekile ngenxa yokushoda kohlaka lokusebenza emkhakheni wezimboni. Imiphumela yaveza ukuthi ama-57.7% ezikhungo zihlinzeka ukukuqesha nokuthi yimaphi amakhono okuqeqesha adingeka emakolishi ama-TVET ukuba kubonakale ukuthi abantu bakhiwe wumqondo, umzimba nomoya kanti basebenza kahle kakhulu uma zonke izingxenye zempilo yabo zinakiwe, zibandakanywa futhi zithathwa njengezibalulekile. Ucwaningo luphakamisa ukuthi amakolishi ama-TVET eGoli abe nohlaka lokusebenza olwakhiwelwe izimenenja zabaqeqeshi okufaka amakhono adingekayo nabaqeqeshi abahlinzeka uqeqesho. Kuphinde kuphakanyiswe ukuba kubandakanywe abaphathi ekuhlinzekeni uqeqesho kula makolishi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uhlelo lokuqeqesha lusiza kanjani ekufinyeleleni ezinhlosweni zenhlangano. Lokhu okutholakele neminye imiphumela yasocwaningweni kufaka isandla kakhulu kulolu cwaningo, nokuwukuthuthukisa uhlaka lokusebenza kwezimenenja zokuqeqesha emakolishi ama-TVET eGoli, eNingizimu Afrikha.
