| Popis: | Core self-evaluations (CSE) is a higher-order latent variable composed of four lower-order variables—self-esteem, self-efficacy, emotional stability, and locus of control. Relatively little research has examined CSE as a distal predictor of financial success and the mechanisms that lead to financial success. Utilizing data from a longitudinal sample (N = 3364) collected over several decades, it was found that CSE had a positive effect on net worth, and that CSE had an indirect effect on net worth through job complexity. Additionally, job complexity and cognitive ability interacted in predicting net worth. Specifically, the positive association between job complexity and net worth became stronger as cognitive ability increased. Implications for the literature on the complex relationship between CSE and major life outcome variables and directions for future research are discussed. |
