Flourishing, Muslim counselors, Latent class analysis, MIMIC modelAbstract
This study aims to identify the typological profile of flourishing among Muslim school counselors, examine demographic factors associated with their psychological well-being, and investigate the conceptual implications of these findings within the frameworks of Islamic well-being and guidance and counseling management. Addressing gaps in previous research, which has predominantly focused on stress, burnout, and psychological risk factors, this study emphasizes positive psychological functioning. A quantitative person-centered research design was utilized with a sample of 187 Muslim school counsellors in Indonesia. Data collection employed the Flourishing Scale, and analysis was conducted using Latent Class Analysis (LCA) and the Multiple Indicators Multiple Causes (MIMIC) Model. The LCA revealed three distinct flourishing profiles: Flourishing (38%), Moderate (40%), and Isolated/Vulnerable (22%). The MIMIC analysis indicated that tenure (β = 0.375, p = 0.010) and school level (β = 0.176, p = 0.044) significantly predicted flourishing, while gender and geographical region did not. The results demonstrate that flourishing is a multifaceted characteristic among Muslim school counselors, and the identified profiles and demographic determinants offer significant considerations for developing and managing guidance and counseling personnel. Furthermore, these findings establish a conceptual foundation for understanding psychological well-being through the lens of Islamic well-being. Future research should develop an empirical model that integrates flourishing and Islamic well-being by examining dimensions such as spirituality, religiosity, religious practices, and the relationship with Allah. This approach could offer a more comprehensive understanding of counselor well-being and generate additional insights for effectively managing guidance and counseling services
