Integrating Sustainability through Coaching Leadership: Empirical Evidence from Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
2025
Overview
Purpose: This study investigates coaching leadership-ESG management relationships in Korean SMEs, addressing a critical gap where resource constraints and institutional ESG pressures make coaching leadership particularly vital for sustainability implementation, and further examines how these factors influence organizational commitment and business performance. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected through an online survey targeting 313 professionals employed across multiple SMEs, with structural equation modeling employed to test hypothesized relationships between coaching leadership dimensions, ESG components, organizational commitment, and performance outcomes. Findings: First, coaching leadership dimensions exhibit differential relationships with ESG components, with Directness, Accountability, and Development showing stronger associations with Environmental and Social dimensions. Second, coaching leadership dimensions (Accountability, Development, and Relationship) positively influence organizational commitment, though Directness demonstrated a negative relationship. Third, Environmental and Social ESG dimensions significantly impact organizational commitment. Fourth, Environmental and Governance dimensions significantly influence financial performance, while Social and Governance dimensions affect non-financial performance. Fifth, organizational commitment strongly enhances both financial and non-financial performance. Research limitations/implications: This cross-sectional study of Korean SMEs limits causal inference and generalizability to other cultural contexts. Self-reported measures may introduce common method bias, requiring future longitudinal studies with objective performance metrics. The findings extend Resource-Based View and Social Identity Theory to sustainability contexts, identifying coaching capabilities as critical resources for ESG implementation in hierarchical SME environments Originality/value: This research extends existing research by examining the previously unexplored relationship between coaching leadership and ESG management in Korean SMEs, identifying distinctive patterns and impact pathways. By establishing how coaching leadership dimensions influence ESG components and subsequently affect organizational commitment and business performance, this research provides both theoretical contributions and practical guidance for SME leaders integrating coaching approaches with ESG initiatives in the Korean context.
