다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study is to understand the current status of coaching research and further explore the research tasks necessary for coaching to establish itself as an independent academic field. To this end, after examining previous coaching studies and coaching trend analysis papers, tasks to be further studied in the future were derived from academic, practical, and educational aspects.
The result is as follows. First, research tasks in the academic aspect include basic concept and characteristics of coaching, the factors of coaching and detailed elements, expanding the depth and scope of the coaching effects, organizing and standardizing coaching language and terminology, coaching leadership constricts and components, scale development of coaching leadership, integration of quantitative and qualitative research, etc. Second, research tasks in the practical aspect include establishing an industry-university cooperation system between coaches and researchers, preparing a plan to enhance professionalism by improving the coach's competency, securing public confidence in the coach's qualifications, and enhancing the reliability of related systems. Lastly, the research tasks in the educational aspect are to prepare a standard education model for nurturing coaching experts, and to prepare reasonable standards for evaluating coach certification programs. If multifaceted and steady research on these research tasks is conducted in the future, it will be easier to establish a theoretical system or foundation for coachology.
This study made significant progress in that it presented various research topics necessary for establishing a systematic foundation for coachology. However, there are limitations that do not completely exclude the subjectivity of this researcher.
