The performance effects of coaching: a multilevel analysis using hierarchical linear modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Drawing on the conceptual foundations of feedback and behavior modeling we investigate the effects of managers’ coaching intensity on the performance of those they supervise, at multiple levels of an organizational hierarchy. Data from 328 sales associates reporting to 114 middle managers, and 93 middle managers reporting to 32 executive managers are used to test the research hypotheses. Using hierarchical linear modeling we find that managers’ coaching intensity influences the performance of their subordinates after controlling for job satisfaction, and this effect weakens at greater hierarchical levels. Surprisingly, we do not observe any cross-level moderating effects of coaching intensity on the satisfaction–performance relationship. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research and practice.

Testing Multilevel Mediation Using Hierarchical Linear Models Problems and Solutions
Testing multilevel mediation using hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has gained tremendous popularity in recent years. However, potential confounding in multilevel mediation effect estimates can arise in these models when within-group effects differ from between-group effects. This study summarizes three types of HLM-based multilevel mediation models, and then explains that in two types of the...

This paper estimates the impact of three types of qualitative differences in college experiences on the earnings of recent college graduates-college major, school quality and educational performance. The analysis is based on a new statistical technique, known as hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), which distinguishes more precisely between the effects of individual factors and institutional fac...
متن کاملHierarchical Linear Models for the Analysis of Longitudinal Data with Applications from Hiv/aids Program Evaluation
In this paper, two examples of multilevel modeling as part of the analysis of data from HIV evaluation studies are presented. Strategies for teaching multilevel models for each type of data are discussed. The first, a panel study, uses multiple linear regression models to show how a hierarchical linear model can be developed. The second, a repeated cross-sectional design, uses simple analysis o...
متن کاملInvestigating Multilevel Relationships in Information Systems Research : an Application to Virtual Teams Research Using Hierarchical Linear Modeling
Information Systems researchers are often concerned with empirical questions spanning more than one level of analysis. For example, virtual teams research provides a good illustration because such teams are inherently hierarchical entities involving the situated nature of individuals within teams. Despite the importance of multilevel research questions to Information Systems research, the liter...
متن کاملComputational Tools for Probing Interactions in Multiple Linear Regression , Multilevel Modeling , and Latent Curve Analysis
Simple slopes, regions of significance, and confidence bands are commonly used to evaluate interactions in multiple linear regression (MLR) models, and the use of these techniques has recently been extended to multilevel or hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) and latent curve analysis (LCA). However, conducting these tests andplotting the conditional relations is often a tedious and error-prone ...
