Authors: Kapsali, Alexandra Abstract: The purpose of this research is to assess the level of commitment of middle managers on coaching their employees, after being trained by an external certified coaching program.

The sample is made out of 9 middle line managers who took part on in-depth interviews. The outcome of the research indicates that they have a high level of commitment and they are willing to participate on the coaching process. Overall, the working climate is positive for the coaching process and it gives value on the company. 2019-11-01T00:00:00Z https://sphere.acg.edu/jspui/handle/123456789/2523 Title: The effects of rewards on employee motivation and performance Authors: Nsabimana, Evelyne Abstract: No abstract 2019-10-01T00:00:00Z https://sphere.acg.edu/jspui/handle/123456789/2504 Title: Professional expatriation, organizational support and the impact on performances: What are the challenges of multicultural companies in today's world?

The idea of team agility, which originated in software development, has typically been associated with independent self-managed teams. This study supports the argument that in other team environments, agility is fostered by striking a balance between the opposing forces of autonomy and control, the two primary forces influencing team governance. Through qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with managers and team members from the service sector, this study seeks to unravel the nuanced perspectives surrounding the autonomy-control dilemma. The qualitative data acquired from these interviews is examined to find patterns, themes, and insights that illuminate their interplay. The results of this study shed light on the complex nature of team governance and offer valuable guidance for managers trying to strike a balance between autonomy and control, ultimately enhancing their team’s agility. 2023-09-29T00:00:00Z
