- Abstract
The present study investigates the cross-sectional association between core self-evaluations (CSE) and job satisfaction, as well as the mediating role of emotional intelligence. 463 male soldiers in China were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire including the Core Self-evaluations Scale, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and the Wong Law Emotional Intelligence Scale. The results indicated that both CSE and emotional intelligence have significant correlations with job satisfaction. Path analysis shows that emotional intelligence partially mediates the relationship between CSE and job satisfaction in Chinese soldiers. The path from CSE to job satisfaction through emotional intelligence was also significant. Extending previous researches and shedding light on how CSE influence job satisfaction in Chinese soldiers, the finding of this study provides valuable evidence on increasing job satisfaction from CSE in non-commercial organizations.
