Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Coaching strategies have gained prominence as a critical tool for fostering resilience, adaptability, and professional development, particularly during periods of global crisis.This study employs a bibliometric analysis of 330 scholarly records published between 2020 and 2024, utilizing R software to analyze publication trends, citation networks, and thematic evolution.The results indicate a 54% increase in coaching-related publications from 2020 to 2023, reflecting growing academic interest.Key themes identified include leadership coaching (27% of studies), digital coaching platforms (22%), emotional intelligence in coaching (18%), and crisis management strategies (15%).Additionally, influential authors and research collaborations are mapped, revealing that 70% of high-impact studies originate from North America and Europe.Despite the expanding body of literature, knowledge gaps persist in measuring the long-term efficacy of digital coaching and its role in crisis leadership.This study provides valuable insights into the trajectory of coaching research and offers recommendations for future investigations to enhance coaching effectiveness during global disruptions.
