Developmental Coaching as Co-regulating Agent of Professional Identity; a New Conceptual Coaching Framework Integrating Identity Theory Principles
Abstract: An individual’s identity may undergo many changes during one’s professional life. It may evolve, be deconstructed or reconstructed more or less radically. Few research studies highlight coaching as a professional identity regulator even if coaches are frequently appointed to facilitate professional development. So we conducted a literature review to identify relevant concepts in order to enhance our understanding of how coaches can support the professional identity development of coachees in a dyadic intervention. For the most part, our review takes into account accompaniment, coaching and identity in social psychology. We found no approaches and modelizations in coaching using specifically Identity Control Theory. So we propose a conceptual model illustrative of the coaching process as a professional identity regulator. We will call it the 4C Dynamic Model which highlights four identity mechanisms: “Consciousness”, “Construction”, “Coherence” and “Capabilities” . This model takes into account Identity Control Theory (Burke and Stets, 2009) and also notably the ideas of identity concept precursors as William James, George Herbert Mead and Erik Erikson proposed. It considers the axes of accompaniment work illustrated by Paul (2004). It also illustrates the contextual coaching system and process (Joo, 2005). This theorization is open to future research in order to explore the coach’s functions and the dynamics of coaching and identity, within a symbolic interactionist paradigm. Such research aims to improve practice and inform stakeholders about what is relevant in professional developmental coaching.
