Introduction and objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of team coaching (provided by the leader and by peers) on team performance and on the members` satisfaction with the team. The mediated role of peer coaching in the relationship between leader coaching and individual and team results was also analyzed. Method: Adopting a multilevel approach and a cross-sectional design, 506 employees from 75 teams were surveyed. In the test of the hypotheses, multiple regression and hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) were computed. Results: The results showed a direct positive effect of peer coaching on individual and team outcomes, and also a mediated effect of peer coaching in the relationship between leader coaching and both outcomes measured. Conclusions: Our findings put forward the importance of coaching in the achievement of team goals.
