Estudos sobre coaching no Brasil: análise bibliométrica

Abstract

This work aims to explore the topic of Coaching and analyze its evolution in addition to indicating trends, main works and authors. The method used was bibliometric analysis carried out in the Spell.org database, where no studies were found to make the exploratory and quantitative analysis. Thirty articles were found and analyzed, which presented the author 'Teodoro Malta Campos' as the most prolific and the authors 'Anthony M. Grant', 'John Whitmore' and 'Richard R. Kilburg' as the most cited authors. Most articles from 'journals' (45.61%) are used as references, followed by 'books' (44.68%). Among the source of the references, it was found that 55% of these were international sources. The most searched topics and sub-themes were ‘coaching / executive coaching’ (29%), ‘career’ and ‘people management / human resources’ (13% each). More strongly related to coaching are the terms ‘process’, ‘development’, ‘leadership’, ‘results’, ‘organizational’, ‘skills’ and ‘career’, to a greater extent. It is concluded that the theme has become increasingly important in national publications, especially since 2013.
