Background and Aim: The purpose of this study is to identify behaviors of manager as a coach and the rate of behavior in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development
Materials and Methods: This research is an applied research based on descriptive-survey method. Qualitative method was used to identify the components of manager as instructor and quantitative method (descriptive-survey) was used to measure the components of manager's behavior as instructor. Two questionnaires were used for data collection. A questionnaire was used to validate the components of managerial behavior as a coach (first step) and a researcher-made questionnaire was used to measure the use of these components in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development. The statistical population in the second step was the employees of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development (500) who analyzed 491 questionnaires after distributing the questionnaire by simple random sampling. The content validity ratio was used for data analysis in the first step and the T-test and Friedman test were used in the second step.
Results: The findings showed that the manager as a coach has behavioral characteristics such as developer, guide and supporter, problem-solver, facilitator of learning, responsive, team-building, participatory, and pragmatic and Emotion management. The results also showed that the level of implementation and application of coaching behaviors in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development is not at a desirable level and pragmatism is ranked first among other components of manager as a coach.
Conclusion: Ministry of Roads and Urban Development managers show coaching behavior in practice but it is not satisfactory.
