Positive thinking, professional identity, counseling self-efficacy, Queen Rania’s Award for Distinguished CounselorAbstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between positive thinking, professional identity and counseling self-efficacy among counselors who and who did not participate in Queen Rania’s Award for distinguished counselor. The sample consisted of (125) male and female school counselors. Three scales related to study variables were applied among the study sample. The results of the study indicated that there were statistically significant differences in the level of positive thinking, professional identity and counseling self-efficacy due to the status of participating in the award, and in favor of the counselors who participated in the award. Results showed no significant differences in the level of the study variable due to sex, workplace and experience. Positive thinking and professional identity contributed significantly to the interpretation of the variation in self-efficacy level of counselors nominated for the award, while professional identity contributed to self-efficacy level of non-applicants.
