Abstract
Building on the Social Cognitive Career Theory, this study investigated the mediating role of goal progress and the moderating role of trait positive affect in the link between work-related self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Employing a sample of 366 Turkish school counselors, results show that work-related self-efficacy was positively linked to job satisfaction, and this link was mediated by work goal progress. Moreover, results show that trait positive affect was a significant moderator in the link between work-related self-efficacy and job satisfaction. Specifically, self-efficacy negatively links job satisfaction in school counselors with low trait positive affect. The present results provide preliminary evidence for the proposition that the strength and direction of work-related self-efficacy on job satisfaction is dependent on trait positive affect levels among school counselors. Theoretical and practical implications are presented.
