10. The contribution of Core Self Evaluation (CSE), self
monitoring, and Proactive personality on understanding
personality
Core Self
Evaluation
• bottom-line conclusions individuals
have about their capabilities,
competence, and worth as a person.
• People with positive CSEs like
themselves and see themselves as
effective and in control of their
environment.
• Those with negative CSEs tend to
dislike themselves, question their
capabilities, and view themselves as
powerless over their environment
Self Monitoring
• A personality trait that
measures an individual’s
ability to adjust his or her
behavior to external,
situational factors.
Proactive
personality
• People who identify
opportunities, show
initiative, take action, and
persevere until
meaningful change
occurs.
11. PERSONALITY
AND SITUATION
SITUATION STRENGTH
THEORY
• Clarity
• Consistency
• Constraints

situations, events, or interventions
“activate” a trait more than others.
12. VALUES

because they carry an individual’s
ideas about what is right, good, or
desirable
13. VALUES
TERMINAL
VALUES

VALUES
• Preferable modes of
behavior or means of
achieving one’s terminal
values
GENERATIONAL

us understand our own
and other generations
better, but we must also
appreciate their limits
14. LINKING AN INDIVIDUAL’S
PERSONALITY
AND VALUES TO THE WORKPLACE
