Focusing on our future is often associated with well-being, benefiting both the individual and society. However, the literature suggests that this relationship is not always consistent. Moreover, while this relationship has been studied in Lima from a subjective well-being perspective, it has not yet been explored using a psychological well-being framework. This study explores this relationship using Seigner’s, Nurmi, and Poole’s ‘Future Orientation’ and Diener et. al.’s ‘Flourishing’ constructs. Using data from 445 students from a Lima university (mean age=21.80; 64.27% females) and structural equation models, our results suggest that having a sense of internal control over one’s future career (b=.29, SE=.24, p<.01), approaching one’s future career with hope (b=.27, SE=.14, p<.01), and being optimistic about the realization of future family plans (b=.27, SE=.13, ...

La motivación es un proceso psicológico que implica el surgimiento, dirección, mantenimiento o desaparición de un comportamiento. La Orientación Futura es una variable motivacional crucial durante períodos de transición, como la adultez emergente. El principal objetivo del presente estudio es comprender la relación entre la Orientación Futura (OF) -dominios de carrera y familia-, Bienestar Psicológico (Florecimiento), Propósito de vida y Rendimiento académico en estudiantes que participan en el programa de tutoría universitaria que ofrece una universidad privada de Lima Metropolitana, Perú. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 295 estudiantes (M=22.06 años, DE=2.67 años, 62.7% mujeres). Se utilizaron instrumentos previamente validados en Lima: Prospective Life Course Questionnaire (FOQ) para medir la Orientación Futura (Seginer, 2009), Flourishing Scale (Cassaretto & Martíne...
