Core Self-Evaluations Scale
The Core Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES) measures fundamental assessments people make about their own worth, competence, and ability to meet life demands. Developed by Judge and colleagues starting in 1997, the 12-item scale captures a broad personality dimension encompassing self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control, and emotional stability. Core self-evaluations predict job satisfaction, life satisfaction, engagement, and performance across occupations.
