Abstract

The current research is practical in terms of its purpose and it is classified as exploratory research from the point of view of the method of data collection. In this research, in order to collect data, an exploratory interview was conducted with 20 experts and activists in the field of executive coaching. In order to analyze the data, the phenomenological method was used.The findings of the research led to the presentation of a model centered on organizational, individual and professional elements.The model for improving executive coaching in the Islamic Republic of Iran's Red Crescent Society, based on the three dimensions of individual, organizational and professional; 26 components of ethics, goal orientation, order orientation, action orientation, awareness, awareness, convergence, support orientation, motivation, transparency, holistic orientation,stability orientation,interaction orientation, goal orientation, adaptability, monitoring orientation, positive thinking,dependence, demographic, effectiveness,preparation, communication, self-improvement, growth orientation and 109 indicators. This study fills some gaps in the executive coaching literature.Unlike many previous studies in this field that have only relied on the evaluations of the effectiveness of executive coaching, this study has identified a set of factors related to the individual, organizational and professional levels with a phenomenological perspective and presented the identified factors in a model format.
