The research data was collected using qualitative research methods. The data consists of seven (7) semi-structured interviews and written materials.

However, to develop a high performance culture by utilizing coaching style managerial practice, the HR professionals need to be equipped with coaching skills and willingness to promote coaching in their developmental activities.
