Abstract

The current research aims to reveal the level of psychological flourishing, wisdom, mindfulness, and hope among university faculty members. In addition, investigated wisdom, mindfulness, hope, academic degree, gender, age, and years of experience as predictors of psychological flourishing among university faculty members. Five hundred ninety faculty members participated in the research. The Psychological Flourishing Scale (Diener et al., 2010), Abbreviated Three-Dimensional Wisdom Scale (Thomas et al., 2017), the Philadelphia Mindfulness Scale (Cardaciotto et al., 2008), and the Hope Scale (Snyder et al., 1991) were applied. The authors translated these questionnaires and verified the psychometric characteristics. The results revealed a high level of psychological flourishing, wisdom, mindfulness, and hope among the sample members. The prediction model explained about 65% of the variance of psychological flourishing among university faculty members. The predictors of psychological flourishing can be descendingly arranged as follows: hope, mindfulness, wisdom, and academic degree. The research was concluded with the most important recommendations and proposed research.
