TL;DR: In this article, the relative validity in predicting job satisfaction, life satisfaction, and happiness of core self-evaluations (CSE), positive and negative affectivity (PA/NA), and the Neutral Objects Satisfaction Questionnaire (NOSQ) was tested, in a non-Western culture (Japan), and indicated initial support for the generalizability of CSE in a culture that differs in many respects from Western cultures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined three personality taxonomies (positive affectivity and nega-tive affectivity (PA and NA), the five-factor model (the Big Five), and core self-evaluations) to assess job satisfaction in an integrative test.

TL;DR: Results revealed that personality at work exhibited both stability and variation within individuals, and correlations of neuroticism with standard deviations in the daily personality variables suggest that, although work experiences influence state personality, people higher in neuroticism exhibit higher levels of intraindividual variation in personality than do those who are more emotionally stable.

TL;DR: Results indicate that the affectivity model is a stronger mediator of genetic effects on job satisfaction than the five-factor model.

TL;DR: GMA affected growth in 2 indicators of extrinsic career success (income and occupational prestige) over a 28-year period, such that the careers of high-GMA individuals ascended more steeply over time than those of low-Gma individuals.
