چکیده

نقش زنان در توسعۀ اقتصادی و اجتماعی جامعه بسیار حیاتی است. حضور آن‌ها نه‌تنها به بهبود وضعیت مالی خانواده‌ها کمک می‌کند، بلکه موجب افزایش تنوع و نوآوری در بازار کار و جامعه می‌شود. بااین‌حال، بسیاری از مادران دارای فرزند زیر سه سال با چالش‌های فراوانی برای بازگشت به فعالیت‌های اجتماعی و حرفه‌ای روبه‌رو هستند. پژوهش حاضر به بررسی تأثیر مربیگری با رویکرد «به خودت اعتماد کن» بر کنش اجتماعی و کارآفرینی مادران می‌پردازد. این مطالعۀ شبه‌آزمایشی با دو گروه آزمایش و کنترل انجام شد. گروه آزمایش شامل مادرانی بود که در هشت جلسه مربیگری مجازی شرکت کردند و گروه کنترل فقط یک جلسۀ مقدماتی داشتند. داده‌ها به‌وسیلۀ پرسشنامه‌های آنلاین قبل و بعد از مداخله جمع‌آوری شد.
نتایج نشان داد مربیگری سبب کاهش باورهای محدودکننده و افزایش مشارکت مادران در فعالیت‌های اجتماعی و کارآفرینی می‌شود. یافته‌های این پژوهش با پژوهش‌های پیشین در زمینۀ مربیگری و تغییر الگوهای ذهنی منفی همخوانی دارد. مداخلۀ مربیگری به نومادران کمک کرد تا با تغییر باورهای محدودکننده و تقویت خودکارآمدی، به فعالیت‌های اجتماعی و کارآفرینی دوباره روی آورند. به‌طورکلی این رویکرد می‌تواند به‌عنوان ابزاری مؤثر برای توانمندسازی مادران و بازگشت آن‌ها به جامعه، بازار کار و عرصۀ کارآفرینی و نقش‌آفرینی بیشتر در جامعه استفاده شود.

چکیده [English]

The economic and social development of society is significantly influenced by the contributions of women. Their presence not only enhances the financial status of families but also promotes diversity and innovation in the labor market and society. However, numerous obstacles arise for mothers with children under the age of three when they attempt to resume their professional and social responsibilities. The current study investigates the influence of the “Trust Yourself” coaching approach on the social engagement and entrepreneurship of mothers. Two groups were utilized in this quasi-experimental investigation: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was composed of mothers who participated in 8 virtual coaching appointments, while the control group received only an introductory session. The intervention was preceded and followed by the collection of data through online questionnaires.
Coaching was found to be an effective tool for empowering mothers and facilitating their return to society and the labor market, as evidenced by the reduction of limiting beliefs and the increase in the participation of mothers in social activities and entrepreneurship. These findings are consistent with previous research on coaching and the transformation of negative mental patterns. Coaching assisted mothers in playing an active role in society by changing limiting beliefs and strengthening self-efficacy.
