Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of positive psychological capital on self-efficacy among vocational counselors in their 20s or older and to examine the mediating effect of resilience in the relationship between them. Methods To conduct the research, an online and offline survey was conducted with 250 vocational counselors located in Seoul and Incheon as a convenience sampling, and 216 questionnaires were used for the final statistical analysis. To verify the causal relationship between positive psychological capital, resilience, and self-efficacy variables, multi-regression analysis and bootstrapping were performed. Results Both optimism and hope, which are sub-factors of positive psychological capital, were found to have a significant positive effect on resilience. Controllability, sociality, and positivity, which are sub-factors of resilience, were all found to have a significant positive effect on self-efficacy. Both optimism and hope, which are sub-factors of positive psychological capital, were found to have a significant positive effect on self-efficacy. The mediating effect of resilience was confirmed in the relationship between positive psychological capital and self-efficacy of vocational counselors. Conclusions It was confirmed that positive psychological capital such as hope and optimism, as well as resilience, which is the ability to recover from job stress that may be experienced in the course of job counseling, are very important factors in improving the self-efficacy of vocational counselors.
