Abstract:

The aim of this study is to determine the role of psychological capital and coping styles on the psychological well-being of school counselors. The sample of this study, which was designed according to the relational research model, consists of a total of 214 psychological counselors, 157 women and 57 men, who participated voluntarily. The data in the study were obtained by using the Demographic Information Form, the Mental Well-Being Scale (Keldal, 2015), the Organizational Psychological Capital Scale (Çetin & Basım, 2012) and the Styles of Coping with Stress Scale (Şahin &Durak, 1995). Pearson product-moment correlation technique and hierarchical regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. According to the research findings, there is a positive relationship between school counselors' psychological well-being and optimism, resilience, hope, self-efficacy, self-confident approach and optimistic approach; negative significant relationships were determined with the helpless approach and the submissive approach. Finally, it was found that optimism, hope, self-efficacy, self-confident approach and optimistic approach were important predictors of psychological well-being; it was concluded that the contribution of psychological resilience, seeking social support, helpless approach and submissive approach to the model was meaningless.
