International Journal for Educational and Vocational Guidance Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

In line with self-determination theory and psychological well-being theory, we examine the effects of career-counseling self-efficacy (CCSE), self-esteem, and leader–member exchange (LMX) on well-being via the satisfaction of the three psychological needs (PNs). Using a cross-sectional design, we submitted an online questionnaire to 235 school counselors’ psychologists working in French public counseling centers. The results showed that satisfaction of the PN for autonomy mediated the links between CCSE, self-esteem, and LMX as explanatory variables and well-being as a resultant. Satisfaction of the PNs for autonomy mediated the links between LMX, CCSE, and self-esteem as inducers, and well-being as a criterion.

Résumé

Un modèle de bien-être chez les conseillères en milieu scolaire français: effets des variables personnelles et psychosociales

En accord avec la théorie de l'autodétermination et la théorie du bien-être psychologique, nous examinons les effets de l'auto-efficacité du conseil d'orientation (CCSE), de l'estime de soi et de l'échange leader-membre (LMX) sur le bien-être via la satisfaction des trois besoins psychologiques (PNs). En utilisant un design transversal, nous avons soumis un questionnaire en ligne à 235 conseillers·ères scolaires psychologues travaillant dans des centres d'orientation publics français. Les résultats ont montré que la satisfaction du besoin d'autonomie médiatisait les liens entre le CCSE, l'estime de soi et le LMX comme variables explicatives, et le bien-être comme résultante. La satisfaction des besoins psychologiques d'autonomie a médiatisé les liens entre LMX, CCSE et estime de soi comme inducteurs, et le bien-être comme critère.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Modell des Wohlbefindens unter französischen Schulberatern: Auswirkungen von persönlichen und psychosozialen Variablen

Im Einklang mit der Selbstbestimmungstheorie (self-determination theory) und der Theorie des psychologischen Wohlbefindens untersuchen wir die Auswirkungen der Selbstwirksamkeit der Berufsberatung (SWBB), des Selbstwertgefühls und des Führungskraft-Mitglied-Austauschs (FMA) auf das Wohlbefinden über die Befriedigung der drei psychologischen Bedürfnisse (PB). Mit Hilfe eines Querschnittsdesigns haben wir 235 Schulpsychologen, die in öffentlichen französischen Beratungszentren arbeiten, einen Online-Fragebogen vorgelegt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, dass die Befriedigung der Psychologischen Bedürfnisse (PB) nach Autonomie die Zusammenhänge zwischen der Selbstwirksamkeit der Berufsberatung (SWBB), des Selbstwertgefühls und des Führungskraft-Mitglied-Austauschs (FMA) als erklärende Variablen und dem Wohlbefinden als Resultante vermittelt. Die Befriedigung der psychologischen Bedürfnisse nach Autonomie vermittelte die Zusammenhänge zwischen FMA, SWBB und Selbstwertgefühl als auslösende Variablen und Wohlbefinden als Kriterium.

Resumen

Un modelo de bienestar para los orientadores escolares franceses: efectos de las variables personales y psicosociales

De acuerdo con la teoría de la autodeterminación y la teoría del bienestar psicológico, examinamos los efectos de la autoeficacia de la orientación profesional (CCSE), la autoestima y el intercambio líder-miembro (LMX) en el bienestar a través de la satisfacción de las tres necesidades psicológicas (NP). Utilizando un diseño transversal, enviamos un cuestionario online a 235 psicólogos que ejercen como orientadores escolares en centros públicos franceses de asesoramiento. Los resultados mostraron que la satisfacción de las PN de autonomía medió los vínculos entre CCSE, autoestima y LMX como variables explicativas y el bienestar como resultado. La satisfacción de las necesidades psicológicas de autonomía medió los vínculos entre LMX, CCSE y la autoestima como inductores, y el bienestar como criterio.
