PurposeThe goal of this qualitative study is to explore how different elements of the coach–coachee setting can affect the perceived outcome from coaching sessions by the coachee.Design/methodology/approachUsing thematic analysis on 197 semi-structured interviews of bank executives, the authors suggest an evidence-based sequential model on how the perceived value of the coaching process might be contingent on four elements.FindingsAs a result of the exploratory analysis, the authors’ suggest that the coach's guidance, coach's reliableness, coachee's willingness and coachee's self-awareness can determine the coachees' perceived effectiveness or usefulness from their coaching sessions.Originality/valueThere is little empirical data regarding the coachee's perceived value. The current study attempts to fill the gap in the existing literature by considering the coaching outcomes with particular regard to the executive's perceived value of coaching. This research adds to the literature on how to deliver effective coaching in organizations and provides empirical evidence to practitioners on how coachees perceive value from coaching.

Implications of Transmigration Program Implementation Towards Transmigrant Welfare Levels

This study aims to determine the factors contributing to the transmigration program to the welfare level of transmigrants and compare aspects of the development of the welfare level of transmigrants at transmigration locations from before and after people become transmigrants. The research was conducted at the Transmigration location, Fajar Baru Village, Panca Jaya District, Mesuji Regency. The method used is quantitative, using questionnaires and document searches that are relevant to the research topic. The results showed that transmigrants were still categorized as poor or underprivileged. Some of the things that cause this situation include: First, the transmigrants do not have permanent jobs and only rely on work as farmers; and Second, the rice fields they own still have not produced anything, because the harvest period has not yet entered so that many transmigrants change professions to become casual workers. Practical implications can be done by carrying out more effective coaching by paying attention to the economic, socio-cultural, and mental-spiritual fields.
