Counselor burnout, person–environment fit, and job crafting among school counselors: A person–centered approach

The present study explored the interrelationship among counselor burnout, person–environment fit, and job crafting via a latent profile analysis (LPA). Using a sample of 451 school counselors (76.9% women, 23.1% men) in Türkiye, the LPA revealed three distinct profiles regarding adaptation to the environment (maladaptive, average, and adaptive). The auxiliary variable analysis showed that career adaptability and its components (i.e., concern, control, curiosity, and confidence) increased the likelihood of school counselors’ membership in the adaptive group. In addition, the results showed significant mean differences in the levels of positive affect and negative affect across profile memberships, such that the adaptive group had the highest positive affect and the lowest negative affect. Implications are discussed.
