TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between personality, job satisfaction and turnover intentions, and determined if the moderating variables (i.e., ethnicity, gender, occupational setting, and level of decision making authority) have an impact on these relationships.
Abstract: Recently, several studies have appeared in the literature that have investigated various hypotheses involving the relationships between ethnicity, gender, job satisfaction, turnover intentions, and the personality characteristic termed type A. Aims to examine the relationships between personality, job satisfaction and turnover intentions, and to determine if the moderating variables – ethnicity, gender, occupational setting, and level of decision making authority – have an impact on these relationships. The study was conducted using a modified meta‐analysis. The analysis did not detect an overall significant relationship between personality and job satisfaction or turnover intentions, but did find an inverse relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intentions that was consistent with previously reported research. Neither gender nor ethnicity was found to be a significant moderating variable influencing the relationships between the primary variables; however, both occupational setting and level of decision making authority were found to have a significant impact on the relationships between the primary variables.

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.
Abstract: Summary The present study tested, in a non-Western culture (Japan), 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). Consistent with previous results in primarily Western cultures, the four lower-order traits that comprise CSE—self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism— indicated a higher-order factor. While each lower-order trait was itself related to the study’s criteria, the CSE concept displayed in general, higher correlations with the dependent variables, and explained incremental variance in two of the study’s three outcomes beyond PA, NA, and the NOSQ. These results indicate initial support for the generalizability of CSE in a culture that differs in many respects from Western cultures, and suggest that judgments of satisfaction and happiness in a non-Western culture have a dispositional source.

TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between personality characteristics (extraversion, core self evaluations), social tie characteristics (number, breadth, depth), and three types of expatriate adjustment (general, interaction, and work).
Abstract: This expaloratory study examines the relationship between personality characteristics (extraversion, core self evaluations), social tie characteristics (number, breadth, depth), and three types of expatriate adjustment (general, interaction, and work). Data was collected at two points in time from 75 expatriate employees from one organization on international assignments around the world. Results indicate that core self-evaluations, but not extraversion, are positively related to the number of ties formed with other expatriates and host country nationals. Social ties with other expatriates were found to provide greater social support, but similar access to information, than those with host country nationals (HCNs). In general, depth and breadth of relationships with other expatriates predicted general and work adjustment; whereas, breadth and total number of relationships with HCNs predicted all three types of adjustment. Overall, these results provide initial support for the importance of social ties in facilitating expatriate adjustment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate explanations for job satisfaction and dissatisfaction in higher education using content analytical methodologies and find that teaching and research-related activities contribute significantly to both job satisfaction, and that several miscellaneous dimensions of the jobs of the workers, such as relative job security and changes in university funding mechanisms, contribute to job satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
Abstract: Several articles have reported and discussed the job satisfaction and dissatisfaction of workers in miscellaneous organizations. However, very few empirically‐supported explanations have been given to explain job satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Probes into explanations for job satisfaction and dissatisfaction in higher education using content analytical methodologies. Finds that teaching and research‐related activities contribute significantly to both job satisfaction and dissatisfaction of university teachers. Finds also that several miscellaneous dimensions of the jobs of the workers, such as relative job security and changes in university funding mechanisms, contribute to satisfaction and dissatisfaction respectively. Discusses these findings in the light of the two‐factor theory and the situational occurrences theory of job satisfaction.
