Longitudinal relationships between core self-evaluations and job satisfaction.

A series of structural equation models revealed that job satisfaction and the growth of job satisfaction in previous years positively predicted CSE in a later year, which shows that both dispositional and contextual forces interweave to shape individuals' self-views and experiences over time.
