ABSTRACT
A flourishing person believes in his own ability to have broad and satisfying to do their jobs. They believe in their ability to carry out various activities that support their work. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of general self-efficacy (GSE) on flourishing in adults. The method used in this research was a cross-sectional quantitative method with accidental sampling. There were 84 women and 35 men as workers in government and private institutions. The range of participants was 18–53 years old with the majority being 25 and 29 years old as many as 13 participants. Participants in this research were 63 Javanese employees, 26 were multicultural, and other ethnic were 30 employees. Other ethnic participants include employees coming from many cultures such as Madura, Bugis, Banjar, Minahasa, Bima, Melayu, Melanesia, Batak, and Manado. Measurements were taken using general self-efficacy scale (GSES) and flourishing scale (FS). Data analysis used simple linear regression. This study showed that GSE was strongly able to predict flourishing (B=0.601; p<0.01) with 36.2%. Other results showed that flourishing had a correlation with age (r = 0.210; p<0.05) and GSE (r = 0.595; p<0.01), however ethnic (r = --0.173; p>0.05) and gender (r = --0.126; p>0,05) had no correlation with flourishing. It means that only age and GSE had a relationship with flourishing.
