Abstract
Counsellors are important key members in Chinese universities. In this paper,
on the one hand, we compared student affairs workers’ occupational characteristics,
classification and development of western as well as Chinese university. On the other
hand, Chinese university faculty members and students are our subjects. Of 800 pieces
circulated, 537 pieces are found to be effective. We verified the reliability and validity
of data, then conducted correlation analysis, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and
confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The test has good reliability and validity. Cronbach’s
alpha coefficient and the split-half reliability coefficient are all above 0.9, indicating that
the actual value is in good accordance with the true value. The internal alpha coefficient
and the split-half reliability coefficient of each factor are all above 0.8. Χ2/df<5. GFI, AGFI,
NFI, CFI, IFI,RMSEA and the other indicators are fitting, and this test meets measurement
requirements. A 5-factor model is formulated based on the research results, including:
moral quality; professional competence; political awareness; instructive ability;
interpersonal skills. This 5-factor model reflects the evaluation of faculty members and
students in universities on qualities of counsellors and transformation in their expectation
for the role counsellors play as time goes by. So we summarize the qualities of counsellors
are constantly changing. These changes have been constantly evolving in time, and their
traits are such as: Objectivity of the times, Initiative of inner, Predictability of practice.
Being well aware of the trend of this career is conducive to the formation of a sound
relationship between counsellors and students, measurability for morality-oriented
education, and improvement in counsellors’ overall qualities.
