Use of psychometric tests in organizational coaching

Abstract

This work describes and evaluates the use of psychometric tests in organizational coaching. Research has been conducted among employed participants based in Bosnia and Herzegovina because its foremost intention was to get insights into the usage of psychometric testing in organizational coaching in domestic and international companies, among different industries. Besides that, the study has shown the perception and the advantage of using psychometric tests in small, medium, and big-size companies. This thesis covers good practice through the theoretical and empirical parts of the research conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The overall conclusion is that coaching and psychometric tests are used in local and international companies almost equally, giving their employees a chance to make progress within and for their company. The interviews also gave insights into the C-level management perception of psychometric testing and coaching. This topic requires more profound and broadened research, as not much research has been conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, this thesis can be a good starting point for anyone who decides to do so.
