Este trabajo ha obtenido un accésit del Premio Estudios Financieros 2019 en la modalidad de Recursos Humanos.
El coaching basado en fortalezas se enmarca dentro del movimiento científico de la psicología positiva y establece la identificación, desarrollo y uso de fortalezas personales para fomentar resultados positivos en las personas y en las organizaciones. Los objetivos de esta investigación son describir los beneficios potenciales que puede aportar este enfoque al desarrollo de recursos humanos, y en particular a la optimización del bienestar psicosocial y desempeño de las personas trabajadoras, presentando resultados empíricos de su eficacia mediante un estudio controlado aplicado en una empresa automotriz. Sesenta personas trabajadoras sin puestos ejecutivos participaron de un programa de micro-coaching basado en fortalezas, que consistió en un workshop grupal y tres sesiones de coaching individuales. Las personas participantes fueron divididas en dos grupos (experimental y control-waiting list) y tanto ellas como sus supervisores participaron de una evaluación en tres tiempos (PRE-POS-FUP). Los resultados cuantitativos y cualitativos indicaron un impacto positivo del programa sobre el engagement en el trabajo, el capital psicológico positivo y el desempeño in-rol y extra-rol de las personas participantes. Las implicaciones prácticas sugieren que las intervenciones en coaching psicológico positivo basado en fortalezas son una propuesta efectiva para el desarrollo y gestión de las personas en las organizaciones.
