Personality and Irregular Buying Behavior: Adaptation and Validation of Core Self Evaluation Personality Trait Model in Consumer Impulsive and Compulsive Buying Behavior

Abstract: This research aimed at application and validation of core self evaluation (CSE) personality traits model in consumer impulsive & compulsive buying behavior in the context of fashion shopping. Two studies (study 1 & Study 2) with different populations were devised. In study 1, a causal relationship between CSE, impulsive and compulsive buying behavior was examined. Study 2 aimed to examine the causal relationship between CSE traits (self efficacy, self esteem, neuroticism and locus of control) and impulsive & compulsive buying behavior. Questionnaire adopted from literature was modified and administered to sample consumers in Islamabad. Structural equation models using AMOS 22 was analyzed utilizing maximum likelihood method.Results illustrated that consumers scoring high on CSE, were highly impulsive and compulsive. Impulsive buying behavior proved to be a significant predictor of compulsive buying behavior. Major contributions of this research included development of a new theoretical model of impulsive and compulsive buying behavior based on personality traits. CSE traits were adopted from work place environment and tested in consumer impulsive and compulsive behavior for the first time. Significant positive relationship between self efficacy and impulsive & compulsive behavior was established. Research implications and future directions are provided in the end. Keywords: Compulsive buying behavior, Impulsive buying, Core self evaluation.

Core self-evaluations and project managers' competencies: the moderating role of cultural intelligence

Abstract: The study investigates the effects of core self-evaluations on project managers' competencies. The study further examines the moderating effect of cultural intelligence between core self-evaluations and competencies.,In this study, with a descriptive-survey approach, necessary data were collected from a sample of project managers of Iran's Ministry of Communication and Information Technology through questionnaires. The conceptual framework of the study was tested according to structural equation modeling by PLS software.,Findings show that core self-evaluations have positive and significant effects on project managers' competencies among which psychological stability has the greatest effect. Furthermore, the moderating role of cultural intelligence in the relationship between core self-evaluations and project managers' competencies was confirmed. According to the calculated coefficient, motivational cultural intelligence had the greatest role.,The data were collected using a questionnaire at a single point in time, and thus, not allowing cause–effect inferences. Also, the demographic variables were not controlled.,The results of this study provide some implications for HRM professionals and project managers interested in promoting a system of HR practices that contributes to enhancing project managers' competencies and effectiveness.,This study advances our understanding of the factors that have an effect on project managers' competencies, specifically on a list of main competencies necessary for project managers' performance. Moreover, it suggests that project managers' competencies will benefit from cultural intelligence, which will display a greater effect when embedded in highly diverse cultural contexts.

Self-concept content and structure: motivation and performance implications

Abstract: Substantial research has examined the self-concept, but little work has investigated the contents and structure of the self-concept in combination within performance settings, particularly from a within-person perspective. Thus, this research developed and examined a conceptual framework based on Greenwald et al. (2002) to understand how core self-evaluations (CSE) and self-concept clarity (SCC) interact to influence motivational orientation with implications for performance dimensions.,Full-time employees (N = 138) completed daily measures of CSE, SCC, motivational orientation, organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) and counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs) over the course of three weeks.,Multilevel modeling indicated CSE influences motivational orientation, SCC can moderate these relationships and motivational orientation relates to OCBs and counterproductive work behaviors.,This work contributes to this research area by developing and examining an integrative conceptual framework involving aspects of self-concept, motivation and performance from a within-person perspective.
