Abstract

The research aims to examine the relationship between psychological flow, psychological well-being, and self-management among a sample of fine artists in the Makkah region and its governorates. The research also aims to examine the mean group differences in psychological flow, psychological well-being, and self-management due to demographic variables (sex and years of practicing arts). The sample consists of (110) male and female fine artists. The descriptive correlational approach was performed to collect the data by using the psychological flow scale developed by Payne et al (2011), which was translated by the researcher, the Oxford happiness questionnaire developed by Hills and Argyle (2002), it has translated by the Rubai (2014), and the self-management scale developed by Mezo (2009) translated by the researcher. The results of the research showed that there is a statistically significant (moderate) relationship between psychological flow and psychological well-being; there is a statistically significant (low) relationship between psychological flow and self-management. The findings also showed there is a statistically significant (high) relationship between psychological well-being and self-management of the study sample. On the other hand, no statistically significant differences were found between group means in the three variables due to demographic variables of sex and years of practicing arts. In light of the study results, the researcher recommends the need to spread awareness of the importance of psychological flow and its role in raising the levels of psychological well-being and self-management among organizations that support fine artists of various ages.
