บทคัดย่อ

This study aims to explore the relationship between professional identity and work-engagement among counselors in private universities in China, with a particular focus on the mediating role of pro-active personality. The research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing surveys to collect data from 439 counselors in private universities in Sichuan Province. Structural equatio modeling (SEM) is applied to analyze the relationships among professional identity, proactive personality, and work engagement. The results indicate a significant positive correlation between professional identity and work-engagement, with proactive personality enhancing this relationship. The findings suggest that counselors with a stronger professional identity are more engaged in their work, and those with a proactive personality exhibit even higher level of engagement. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of proactive personality in the development of professional identity and its impact on work engagement, providing valuable insights for enhancing the professional development of counselors in private universities.
