Abstract

On the corporate context which learning is emphasized, coaching becomes a central tool for human development, in the search for a professional profile of quick results. On this scenario, this study investigates how the human development proposals inherent to the coaching process, spread in Brazil, are positioned. From a theoretical basis on the concepts of coaching, organizational spirituality and organizational seduction, the research examined the discourse assumed in 148 texts and 2 training entities. Through a documentary analysis and a content analysis (words, sentence constructions and construction of the semantic network), the results point out that in the analyzed sources there is an immoderated emphasis on subjective aspects, configuring a possible scenario of subjectivity sequestration, which emerges in various means, such as psychological control, shared collective imagery, dominant ideology and conditioned power.
