| Abstract: |
Purpose: Teamwork is necessary for engineering to address today's complex challenges. Therefore, team members must improve their teamwork competencies for more significant team development and effectiveness. This study aimed to analyze how a non-directive coaching intervention model for an entire team influences the individual team members' teamwork competencies. Design/methodology/approach: Action research was used in this study with a quasi-experimental design featuring control and experimental groups comprising final-year engineering students from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The sample included 168 students, with 132 in the control group and 36 in the experimental group. The experimental group underwent a non-directive team coaching intervention involving three sessions. Competencies were evaluated using the teamwork competency test (TWCT), administered at the course's beginning and end to measure progress. Findings: The results show that the individuals who participated in the team coaching significantly increased their competencies, particularly "conflict resolution" and "feedback." Originality/value: This study's value contributes to identifying the positive impacts of non-directive team coaching interventions on individual teamwork competencies, fostering collaborative skills and supporting collective goals. |
