Summary	This dissertation examined the conceptualization, measurement, and predictive validity of Core Self-Evaluations (CSE) as a higher-order construct in relation to job and life satisfaction. Through analyses including usefulness analysis, relative weights analysis, and structural equation modeling, the study demonstrated that CSE provides incremental and relative importance over its components--self-esteem, generalized self-efficacy, locus of control, and neuroticism--when predicting satisfaction outcomes. Structural comparisons supported an aggregate, formative model where each component contributes uniquely, challenging traditional reflective approaches and advancing our understanding of personality and self-concept. These findings have important implications for theory and practice, offering a refined framework for assessing and applying CSE to predict satisfaction and well-being. By conceptualizing CSE as an aggregate construct, future research can focus on improving its measurement by expanding item content, addressing compensatory scoring, and ensuring its validity across cultures and diverse settings, such as remote work environments and broader life domains beyond the workplace.
