Professional pressures and their relation with motivation for achievement, among a sample of professional guidance counselors

Abstract EN

The current study attempts to determine the level of professional stress, as well as assess levels of motivational achievement of professional guidance counselors, and identify the relationship between professional pressures and the motivation for achievement.

the study was conducted on a sample of 100 counselors (both genders included), in Hamlat and Draa el-Mizane guidance and counseling centers (Wilaya of Tizi-Ouzou).

we relied on a descriptive methodology since it was the appropriate approach in regards to our study topic.

we applied the professional stress scale (Moussa Mattatah, 2010), and the motivation for achievement scale (Abderrahmane Salah al-Azrak, 2020).

we found that professional guidance counselors were evolving in a low professional pressure environment, and were suffering from a lack of motivation for achievement.

we also found a correlation between occupational stress and motivation for achievement.
