What is a CSE?

            Core Self Evaluation is the stable character of a person which is based on the personal subliminal, their personal assessment and their personal control.  Those with a high CSE think positively about themselves and are sure of their own skills whereas those with low CSE have a negative attitude towards themselves and they don’t have confidence with themselves.  The Core Self Evaluation is important as they show the traits of a person which remain reliable within some given time. People also evaluate themselves using the CSE which has the skills of predicting the positive work results such as the job gratification and job performance.  The dimensions of CSE include Neuroticism which is the assessment of the effect and the feeling control.  The low levels of neuroticism shows that one is stable in their emotions whereas its high levels show that one has a possibility of having negative feelings (Erez, 1997). 

            The other dimension is the Extraversion.   The extravagant person tries to be more physically and more reactive whereas the shy remain independent and want to be alone. Honesty to knowledge is another dimension that involves the assessment of the person’s way of thinking and their experiences.  This feature focuses on the honesty to new ideas, creativity and interests.  Carefulness is the other dimension which is of more goal based manner.  Here the person focuses on less number of objectives but struggles to reach them.  Friendliness is the other dimension that focuses on caring and the feeling, and partnership.  Those that are in agreement are gentle and kind. CSE is valuable in the study of the employee behavior as it states that people with high core Self-evaluation are more enticed to perform well in their work as they are confident and have the aptitude of so doing. The general personality assessment device such as the Myers Briggs Type indicator is used to support the understanding of the personality at work as it is a survey that shows the rational partiality on how people distinguish the world and make their own choices.  The tools give different results of the same person assessed on divergent events (Erez, 1997).
