TL;DR: Using resource drain and social cognitive theory frameworks, this paper investigated the process through which parent time and energy resource drain relates to adolescent core self-evaluation and found that fathers' work hours are more likely to detract from parent-child routine activities relative to mothers' working hours.
Abstract: Using resource drain and social cognitive theory frameworks, this study investigates the process through which parent time and energy resource drain relates to adolescent core self-evaluation. Parent–child interactive and routine activities and parental social support are tested as mediators. Data are reported by mothers, fathers, and adolescent children in 151 middle-class, dual-earner families from the 500 Family Study. Hypotheses are tested using path analysis and moderated mediation. Parent work hours negatively relate to adolescent reports of received social support, partially due to decreased time spent engaged in parent–child interactive activities. Fathers’ work hours indirectly relate to adolescent core self-evaluations through parent–child interactive activities and social support from fathers; this indirect relationship was not found for mothers. Exploratory analyses examined differences by parent and child gender. Fathers’ work hours are more likely to detract from parent–child routine activities relative to mothers’ work hours. The relationship between father work hours and parent–child interactive activities is buffered for sons compared to daughters. Results help to explain why parent work-related resource drain relates to adolescent core self-evaluations. Parent gender, type of resource drain, and type of activity are identified as potential boundary conditions. Interactive activities and social support are key mediators warranting attention. Social cognitive theory is used as a framework for linking parent work-related resource drain and child outcomes. Mechanisms are identified that explain adolescent core self-evaluations development. Use of multisource data helps to mitigate problems with single-source data used in previous studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role played by core self-evaluations (CSEs) in relationship to both job seekers' job search behaviour and health complaints by examining the mediating role of job search self-efficacy (JSSE).
Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the role played by core self-evaluations (CSEs) in relationship to both job seekers’ job search behaviour and health complaints by examining the mediating role of job search self-efficacy (JSSE). Design/methodology/approach The present cross-sectional study was conducted on 216 Romanian unemployed persons. The hypothetical and alternative models (partial and full mediation) were tested using structural equation modeling. Findings The results supported a total mediation between CSE and job search behaviour and a partial one in relationship with health complaints, via JSSE. As a post hoc decision, a brief meta-analysis was conducted for the relationship between CSE and job search behaviour which revealed a very small effect (r=0.07, p=0.001). This result complemented and certified the findings on the lack of a total and also a direct effect between CSE and job search behaviour. Originality/value JSSE seems to be an important motivational factor. Fuelled by CSE, JSSE enables proper job search behaviour and also promotes job seekers’ health. From a practical point of view, the data suggest that developing interventions to strengthen unemployed individuals’ personal resources such as CSE and, especially JSSE, could not only foster their employment but could also protect their health.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the level of self-directed learning readiness, locus of control and the personality traits of preschool teacher candidates, and found that there is a significant relationship between self directed learning readiness and personality traits such as extraversion, conscientiousness and conscientiousness.
Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the level of self-directed learning readiness, locus of control and the personality traits of preschool teacher candidates. The survey method was used for this study. The study group consisted of 151 teacher candidates who volunteered to participate in the study from Preschool Education department at Ataturk Faculty of Education, Marmara University. A Demographic Form, Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, The Big Five Inventory and Locus of Control Scale were used as the data collection tools. The results of the study indicated that there is a significant relationship between the level of self-directed learning readiness, “extraversion” and “conscientiousness” traits of personality and “personal control” subscale of the locus of control. The results could be discussed in terms of training the preschool teacher candidates to improve their self-directed learning readiness levels by considering their personality traits and locus of control.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the moderating role of culture on the relation between CSE and subjective well-being while also allowing for individual differences in self-construal in the US and the Philippines.
Abstract: Extant literature has shown that the compound personality variable core self-evaluations (CSE) is associated with various psychological outcomes. However, there is a dearth of research on CSE across cultures. Consistent with self-construal theory, because there can be differences in self-construals within and between cultures, the present study examined the moderating role of culture on the relation between CSE and subjective well-being while also allowing for individual differences in self-construal in the US and the Philippines. In both countries, CSE positively predicted subjective well-being. Notably, the association between CSE and subjective well-being was stronger in the US than in the Philippines. In addition, independent self-construal strengthened the positive impact of CSE on subjective well-being especially in the US. Overall, CSE positively predicts subjective well-being; however, the relationship depends on not only the cultural context, but also on individual differences in self-construal.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the impact of person-job fit and person-organization fit on the job satisfaction, organization commitment and turnover intentions of salespersons in India.
Abstract: Job satisfaction is an important variable in organization behavior and sales management. This study explored the impact of person-job fit and person-organization fit on the job satisfaction, organization commitment and turnover intentions of salespersons in India. These constructs have hitherto not been explored in emerging market contexts. A survey of pharmaceutical salespersons found that person-job fit had a strong positive relationship with job satisfaction and person-organization fit had a positive relationship with organization commitment. Job satisfaction had a positive influence on organization commitment and a negative influence on turnover intentions. The differences in job satisfaction across age and experience categories were not significant but salespersons with higher educational qualifications reported lower levels of job satisfaction. The study will contribute to the sales management literature by identifying significant direct paths between P-E fit constructs and job satisfaction and its consequent constructs. An implication for managers is the importance of measuring fit and job satisfaction.
