Wanted: High‐performance work practices to gain a competitive advantage. An increasingly common answerto this desperate call is 360‐degree programs; unfortunately, they have, at best, mixed reviews whenempirically assessed. This study found that a way to improve the effectiveness of 360s may be to combine them withcoaching focused on enhanced self‐awareness and behavioral management. In a small manufacturer, thisfeedback‐coaching resulted in improved manager and employee satisfaction, commitment, intentions toturnover, and at least indirectly, this firm's performance. This feedback‐coaching may be a winningcombination to help in the competitive battles in today's global economy. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals,Inc.
