“…Thus, it is suggested that counselors should pursue their education at the postgraduate level. Engagement in professional development activities, such as taking continuing education courses and attending workshops related to needed areas of competence will increase feelings of work-related efficacy in their settings (Butler & Constantine, 2005) References Bandura, A. (1986).…”

The present study was intended to measure Malaysian counselors' self-efficacy. The finding shows that Malaysian school counselors have high self-efficacy. Self-efficacy correlated significantly with work experience as a counselor. The study also shows that counselors with postgraduate education are more effacious than their counterparts who have an undergraduate degree only. Counselors' self-efficacy does not differ as a function of gender and program of study. However, what is important is their experiences and advance education.

“…Savicki and Cooley (1987) emphasized that organizational stressors (e .g ., difficult relationships with staff) are related to detached or distant feelings from clients (Wilkerson & Bellini, 2006) . More specifically, role ambiguity, incongruity, conflict, and professional identity are associated with school counselors' depersonalization of their students (Butler & Constantine, 2005) .

Given the central role of professional identity (i.e., collective self-esteem in this study), the authors examined whether collective self-esteem mediated or moderated relations between job dissatisfaction and client relationships in a sample of 132 professional counselors in the United States. Results indicated that collective self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between job dissatisfaction and client relationships. Furthermore, job dissatisfaction was negatively related to greater levels of private collective self-esteem, and greater private collective self-esteem was positively related to better client relationships.

“…Three retired counselors are teaching in counseling graduate level programs and the longest retired participant is still heavily involved in national and state-wide counseling organizations. Spending time and effort in professional organizations reduced the effects of burnout in school counselors (Butler & Constantine, 2005). See Figure 1 below: Figure 1.…”

“…It is a darkness that may not be as penetrating and pervasive as the clinical depression depicted by William Styron in Darkness Visible but nevertheless amounts to a devastating sense that the education, teaching and life we have clung to with such hope and promise are losing their grip…It is a darkness of the teaching soul…It is a darkness that forgets the landscape and features of teaching. (p. 81) Burnout, also known as compassion fatigue or creeping fatigue, contains many elements including life span issues, listening to problems throughout most of the typical work day, issues with administration, a perceived or real lack of support, and uncertainty about counselor roles in a given school environment (Butler & Constantine, 2005).…”

School counseling is a constantly evolving profession and in view of the growing demands and expectations of students, faculty, parents, the employment sector, and society in the twenty-first century, one that is in need of revision. In recent years the direction of counseling has turned to more accountability and technology, and trending away from some of the vital attributes of the heart, including passion (Palmer, 1998).Many lead counselors, staff development professionals, and administrators find themselves inadequately equipped to engage in and facilitate successful counselor professional development in these areas; school counselors' work with students, staff, and parents suffer. The aim of this study was to demonstrate the many ways exemplary school counselors have developed and maintained passion over the span of their professional careers. Using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, this study elucidated the key elements in exemplary counselors' development of passion. Each of nine public school counselors from across Colorado schools participated in a 60to 90 minute interview in their office and a follow-up email interview. Data analysis included constant comparative analysis with open and axial coding, which produced four emergent themes. Spirituality, humbleness, being out of the office, and a counselor's family, each with supportive sub-themes, emerged from the interviews and are discussed.iv Passionate counselors exhibited deep and textured features of an ongoing spiritual life that resulted in the development of useful attributes and strategies, which in turn resulted in a variety of rewards and recognitions. These attributes, strategies, and rewards created a synergetic relationship. Personal reflections, recommendations, limitations of the study, and implications for possible future research are included.
