TL;DR: It was concluded that optimism was first sequentially associated with core self-evaluations and then associated with positive coping strategies, which was in turn related to job satisfaction of Chinese specialist nurses.
Abstract: Aim This study aimed to examine the relationship between optimism, core self-evaluations, positive coping strategies, and job satisfaction for Chinese specialist nurses. Methods A cross-sectional design was used. Two hundred and seventy-eight Chinese specialist nurses answered the Chinese Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, the Chinese Revised Life Orientation Test, the Chinese Core Self-Evaluations Scale, and the Chinese Simplified Coping Style Scale. Descriptive analysis, independent-sample T-tests, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analyses, and bootstrap method were conducted to analyze data. Results Total effect (c = 0.860, SE = 0.143, 95% CI 0.579-1.142) of optimism on job satisfaction was significant. The path through single mediation of core self-evaluations (point estimate = 0.165; 95% CI 0.041-0.318), the path through the single mediation of positive coping (point estimate = 0.124; 95% CI 0.042-0.254), and the path through both mediators (point estimate = 0.033; 95% CI 0.005-0.085) were all statistically significant. The total indirect effect was also statistically significant (point estimate = 0.322; 95% CI 0.151-0.535). Conclusions This study concluded that optimism was first sequentially associated with core self-evaluations and then associated with positive coping strategies, which was in turn related to job satisfaction of Chinese specialist nurses. Clinical nursing administrators should take measures that focus on improving specialist nurse job satisfaction to further improve their retention rates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the moderating influences of core self-evaluation, emotional intelligence, and extraversion on the career success of master's level business graduates and concluded that personality does matter when it comes to career success.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating influences of core self-evaluation, emotional intelligence, and extraversion on the career success of master’s level business graduates. Much was known about the relationship between this study’s three dispositional variables and career success, but far less was known about how these items interact with one another to influence extrinsic and intrinsic career success. Our research involved the collection of data from master’s level business alumni from a large Southeastern university who graduated between 2000 and 2012. Established measures were used as gathering instruments for the three dispositional variables, the CSES for core self-evaluation, the WEIP-S for emotional intelligence, and the IPIP proxy of the NEO-PI-R for extraversion. In total, 4,790 alumni were surveyed and 534 alumni successfully completed the survey. The survey results found partial support for 2 of the 4 hypotheses. We found a moderating effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship between core self-evaluation and extrinsic career success. We also found that extraversion moderated the relationship between core self-evaluation and participant’s response to the question ‘time spent happy at work’. The data also produced a strong, positive relationship between core self-evaluation and intrinsic career success, and a modest relationship between intrinsic career success and both emotional intelligence and extraversion. This study concluded that personality does matter when it comes to career success of master’s level business graduates. These results have implications for business schools administrators that aim to improve the career success of their master’s level business graduates. By understanding the core selfevaluation traits and emotional intelligence abilities of applicants and students, business school leaders can seek to understand how these items are associated with higher performance in terms of job placement and career success. This knowledge could be incorporated into a more

TL;DR: The authors examined the basic psychometric properties of the Core Self-evaluations Scale (CSES) originally developed by Judge, Erez, Bono and Thoresen and found that the CSES has satisfactory internal reliability and test-retest reliability.
Abstract: This study examines the basic psychometric properties of the Core Self-evaluations Scale (CSES) originally developed by Judge, Erez, Bono and Thoresen. To date, it is the only available instrument that permits a conceptually pure quantification of core self-evaluations. Factor structures, validity, internal reliability were examined for the two Chinese subsamples. The two-factor model was confirmed via exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The invariance between students and non-students was supported. The CSES was found to have satisfactory internal reliability and test-retest reliability. The results of the present study are comparable with those obtained in previous work with measures of social support, emotional intelligence and life satisfaction and increase support for the validity of this instrument. The questionnaire can be used in Chinese adults.
