The aim of present study was to examine the mediating role of hope in the relationship between self-efficacy and flourishing among counselors and psychologists. The research method was correlational using the structural equation modeling method. The sample consisted of 407 counselors and psychologists who were selected online through social media (Female :319, Male: 88). The instruments used were General Self-efficacy scale, Hope scale, and Flourishing scale. Data analysis was performed by statistical methods of Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS-24 and AMOS-24 software. The result of structural equation modeling revealed that the model of relationship between self-efficacy, hope and flourishing, had a good fit. According results, high levels of self-efficacy and hope, predicted greater levels of flourishing. Also, hope emerged as a mediator in the link between self-efficacy with flourishing. This study showed that self-efficacy and hope play an important role in the rate of flourishing and targeting them can promote the well-being in counselors and psychologists.
