The study aimed to identify the level of psychological well-being and self-efficacy among educational counselors, and to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and professional self-efficacy, as well as the extent to which psychological well-being contributes to predicting professional self-efficacy among a sample of educational counselors in Amman. To achieve the objectives of the study, the research tools (the Psychological Well-being Scale and the Professional Self-efficacy Scale) were applied after confirming their validity and reliability to a sample of 335 educational counselors in Amman. The results of the study showed that the level of psychological well-being among educational counselors was moderate, while the level of professional self-efficacy was high.
