Core Self-Evaluations Increases Among Chinese Employees: A Cross-Temporal Meta-Analysis, 2010–2019

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the changes in core self-evaluation (CSE) scores among Chinese employees during 2010–2019. We conducted a cross-temporal meta-analysis including 50 studies (17,400 Chinese employees) to evaluate the relationship between the year of data collection and levels of CSE. We found that correlations between levels of CSE and year of data collection were strong and positive (r > 0.500). Regression results showed that the year of data collection could predict the CSE score when the mean sample age and sex ratio (%female) were controlled. In addition, CSE scores were positively related to GDP per capita and negatively related to the unemployment rate.

Burnout, work engagement and life satisfaction among Spanish teachers: The unique contribution of core self-evaluations

“…Although there is sufficient empirical support that burnout, engagement, and CSE individually predict life satisfaction, it has not yet been tested whether CSE is a key predictor of life satisfaction among teachers even after controlling for the effects of socio-demographic characteristics and of burnout and engagement dimensions. Moreover, although previous studies have explored the incremental validity of CSE after controlling for measures of individual differences like personality, self-esteem, subjective well-being and other self-oriented constructs like job satisfaction or job performance (Rode et al, 2012), most of these studies have been carried out in Anglo-Saxon and Eastern countries (Lin et al, 2021). Due to the cultural differences, further research is needed regarding the generalizability of the construct's incremental predictive validity across cultures as has been previously pointed out (Rode et al, 2012).…”
