Abstract: The foreign researchers proposed the core self-evaluations concept on the basis of the integration of dispositional sources on job satisfaction. It includes four core traits: self-esteem, locus of control, neuroticism, and generalized self-efficacy. They construct a more fundamental structure. Core self-evaluations and four core traits correlate significantly with job satisfaction and job behavior variables. Finally this article discusses the contributions and limitations of core self-evaluations and opportunities for future research

Key words: core self-evaluations, self-esteem, locus of control, neuroticism, generalized self-efficacy
